Configuring Data Sets

You use the Simulation Data Set Wizard to define the X and Y data sources and to select the target.

  1. From the Simulation Data Set Wizard, select the Target.

  2. Select the location of the X Data Source. The following options are available:

    Option Description
    Drive the values from a text file Extract an array of values to use as the set’s X-data. Refer to Driving the Values from a Text File.
    Use an array parameter for the values Specify an array parameter that contains the values that you want to use as a data set. Refer to Using an Array Parameter for the Values.
    Generate the values for a specified interval Specify the first value and step value, which will produce the correct number of X-data values that correspond with the number of Y-values. For example, you can type the following “X starts at 1 and steps by 2 (1,3,5,7,9).” The X-axis will always have the same number of values as the Y-axis. This allows you to compare a single array to another single array.

  3. Click Next.

    The Y Data Source Options appear.

  4. Configure the Y Data Source Options. The following options are available:

    Option Description
    Drive the values from a text file Extract an array of values to use as the set’s Y-data. Refer to Driving the Values from a Text File.
