| The quickview function available by left-clicking on any signal in the Data Tree can provide you with simple graphs. To look more closely, you can add up to five graphs in the graphs display area at the right side of the Signal and Event Processing page. The functions to create graphs are available on the pop-up context menu which appears when you right-click on the signal of interest in the data tree. When a signal is selected for graphing, its data-tree icon temporarily changes to a little graph, as shown in the following illustration. | The quickview function available by left-clicking on any signal in the Data Tree can provide you with simple graphs.

| Visual3D’s graphing capabilities are quite extensive. Three aspects are worthy of note here. First, the x, y and z coordinate values of point-valued signals are normally plotted separately (as shown in the illustration above), but you can choose to overlay the graphs of two or more such signals.

| - On the **Data Values** tab scroll down to the 24th frame. This is where the data capture system began to collect data for this segment. No data was recorded for this segment in the previous 23 frames. This is not abnormal but it is good to be aware that some markers will not have data for every frame. The reasons for this vary but in this particular case the left foot was not in view of the cameras until the 24 frame. If you see blank frame in the middle of a data set it may be an indication of an erroneous result. | - On the **Data Values** tab scroll down to the 24th frame.
