Polybench® for biosignals / reference 1.34.1
Implements a viewer that will show a waterfall plot of the incoming buffers and vectors

Waterfall Plotter

Overview

Provides a similar viewer as the Histo Viewer ("Histo Viewer"), but now displays the vectors in a waterfall plot.

Operator ports

Input V: Specific sample type, see below.

Paired User Interface Object

This operator is loaded simultaneously with a user interface object. The user interface object can be moved to another page, and would normally be displayed in the end-user application. The operator and this user interface object can never be separated. If you delete the operator, the user interface is deleted automatically as well. Note that you cannot delete the user interface, only the operator symbol!

User Interface Object on Printable Pages

The user interface of this component will be printed on a report, if it is put on a Printable Page (see "Page").

Behaviour in relation to the data cursor in reviewed data

This object reacts on a change of the central Data Cursor of a group of synchronized objects. This means that if this object has the same SyncID as the object that changes the Data Cursor, then this object will change its state accordingly. For more information see also: "Data Cursor and the use of SyncID".
