Defining one Color per File

You can define the color for a file in the File Explorer. This color is used in the oscilloscope and in the GPS instrument when drawing the signal curves of the signals from this file. This allows you to easily identify signals with the same name but from different measure files.

You can perform the following actions:

To assign a color to a file

  1. In the File Explorer, click the color icon in front of the file name.

    or

    In the File Explorer, right-click the file and select Set Color.

  2. Select the color that you want to assign to the file and confirm with OK.

  3. The color change affects all signals belonging to the file and overrules the individual signal color.

    The assigned color is saved in the configuration and applied the next time the configuration is loaded.

    Note  

    The mechanism is not applied for calculated signals. You can manually assign a color to each calculated signal.

To clear the color assignment to a file

  • In the File Explorer, click the color icon in front of the file name.

  1. In the corresponding instrument in the configuration, click colored square of the signal in the Style column.
