The Explore Page's plot controls sets the type and style of data displayed in the plot viewer, there are four different types of plots:

  • Signal Time: Plots a continuous value over the course of time.
  • Metric: Plots a discrete calculated value.
  • Signal Signal: Compares a pair of continuous values.
  • Metric Metric: Compares a pair of discrete values.
