Statistical Views Preferences
The Statistical Views Preferences are defined in the Profiling and Logging category in the workbench preferences, accessible through
Window->Preferences in the workbench menu.
Default No Data Behaviour
The No Data Behaviour preference for the Statistical Views defines
how the views interpret and display time segments that contain no statistical
data. Depending on their specific requirements, a user might want to make assumptions
on the representation of there time segments to make interpretation of the collected
statistical data more intuitive.
There are four No Data Behaviour options:
- Draw Nothing: No data points will be drawn in time segments that contain no statistical data. Lines in the Graph View will only be drawn between sequential time segments that contain data points. In the following illustration, the empty gaps in the line graph represent time segments that contain no data.
- Draw Zero: Data points corresponding to a zero value will be drawn for time segments with no data. Valid data points either side of the empty time segments will still be linked to the drawn zero values. In the following illustration, the empty time segments are now assumed to be zero.
- Draw Previous Value: The previous in time valid statistical value will be drawn in segments with no data. The following illustrations shows that the previous valid value is now assumed to be the default for time segments with no data.
- Draw Interpolated Value: Interpolated lines are drawn across empty segments between two valid statistical values. Empty segments in the following illustration have been ignored, and lines are interpolated between valid data points only.
Horizontal Slider Follow Behaviour
The slider follow behavior is activated by toggling the arrow button

at the right extreme of each horizontal slider. If activated, the slider attempts to automatically scroll according to it's selected follow behavior.
There are currently two options:
- Follow the Workbench System Time: The horizontal sliders will scroll and attempt to align it's maximum visible value to that of the system time of the workbench.
- Follow the Maximum Data Point: The horizontal sliders will scroll only when a new data point is received that contains a horizontal value that is greater than all preceding data points. The slider appears to follow the latest incoming data when this behavior is enabled.
