Virtuosity:Expression Builder - Now Plots ALL!

The Expression Builder has simplified writing complex expressions. It is uncluttered, intuitive and easy to use. You can evaluate expressions or plot signals for particular points from histories and tests. If you're not familiar with the Expression Builder, then take a look at the blogs and videos in the Related Resources section below.  But we wanted it to do more, in ISR15 we added the ability to plot or evaluate across all points and/or all corners from a particular test and history. 

This makes it really easy to see your plots across sweeps and corners from different histories and tests.

There are new options for All under the Point and Corner drop-downs.

Although we have added this extra option, the Expression Builder is still easy to use.  You can choose to plot all corners and all points in one go, or be selective by plotting all points across one corner, or one point across all corners. Of course, you can still choose to plot or evaluate a particular point from a particular corner.

So this makes it easy to plot this clip expression illustrated below for one point across all corners:

Or one corner across all points, as illustrated below:

Or all points across all corners, as illustrated below:
