Hi all,

How can we use the interface to plot ‘one history item’ vs “another item”. the default is vs the “step”. I want to show another history item instead of ‘step’

To do this, enter the number corresponding to the “Histories” list (1 thru n) above the “Series”. For example (see screenshot below), by plotting Series 6 vs “6” (itself) you get a linear relationship. But you can substitute “Vs” with any value from 1 through 9. In the latest UI the values are listed along side the history variable. But even if numbers aren’t shown in your software version, just count by row.

I’m sorry if I’m overlooking but have you tried writing down name ‘time’ or any other history string name? I see you are writing ‘5’ but instead you should use the naming of history.

Thank you very much… I misunderstood it initially, now it is fine.
