Too many signals in list! How to reduce to the ones being probed?

Hello,

What’s the recommended method of working with signals in the simulation.
When I run the simulation, I see dozens of signals listed.


I then use the probe to turn on the view of any signal, but it would be nice if the list only showed the selected signals, rather than having to scroll through in order to see what each color chart means.
Is there any way to filter that list of signals to show only those being probed?
It’s especially relevant when grabbing screenshots to share, because the people viewing screenshots won’t be able to scroll through the list.
Many thanks!

You can add local labels to the schematic. Those are shown first in the simulation.

You can also: Simulator / View / Legend. This shows a box with only the signals for which lines are being drawn. This is nice for making screenshots.

I also always turn off Dark Mode in the view menu. It’s better for printing documentation on paper (PDF and such)

For sharing plots, you can also directly export in either PNG or SVG format. It exports the graph plus the legend but not the rest of the window, so you don’t have to clip your screenshots.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for the tips!


That improved things no end. I added the label and it pushed the signal to near the top.
Then I enabled View->Show Legend and View->Dark Mode was disabled.
The text size for the legends, and the axes are quite tiny, but I can live with that. I didn’t see a Preferences setting for that. If there isn’t one, I’m happy to raise a feature request on GitLab if you think that’s a good idea too.
