The Layout Navigator is designed to give you a useful overview of your entire layout. It shows you a hierarchical view of all the pages in your layout, along with which plots and data files are being displayed on each page. The Layout Navigator also allows you to manipulate the plots and their associated gates and data files within the layout. For example, plots can be moved from one page to another by simply dragging and dropping the plot icons on the Layout Navigator.

 

In the course of this example, we will:

•Open and dock the Layout Navigator.

•Learn about the Layout Navigator features and how to use them. Specifically, we will use the Layout Navigator to:

oApply a gate to a plot.

oAdd an overlay to a histogram.

oInsert a new plot.

oMove a plot from one page to another.

 

In the first exercise, we will open and dock the Layout Navigator.
