The Signal Area's main use is to find signals in the record (wave, trace, log,..) file and convert them into a plot that can be shown in the Plot Area. The Signal Area consists of two parts: the Scope Hierarchy and the Filtered Signal Table.
The Scope Hierarchy in the upper part of the area contains the record (wave, trace, log, ...) file and all its scopes, modules and subsystem organization.
Below you find check fields with the following use:

• All children: The filter is applied not only to the direct children of the selected scope, but to all subsequent children as well.

The Filtered Signal Table in the lower part of the area contains all filtered (or unfiltered) signals of the selected scope:

1. Filter signals using a text fragment
   • abc: Show signal if text contains 'abc'
2. Filter signals using a regular expression - Indicate with any of: '[](){}|?*^$.'
   • ab[0-9]n? : Show signal if text contains 'abc0n', ....
3. Filter signals using a numeric expression
   • 0.4 < 2.0: Show signal if value matches range - use float or integer numbers (e.g. 0.1; 12 ; 0x300)
   • < 0x400: ... if value less than argument
   • <=-4: ... if value less or equal than argument
   • > 2.7: ... if value greater than argument
   • >= 0.04: ... if value greater or equal than argument
   • == 1000: ... if value equals argument
