Playhead and simulation duration

The playhead is your time cursor. Drag it to inspect signal values at any moment. Duration controls how far the engine simulates into the future.

Playhead

  • Vertical line on the chart, draggable
  • All meters and heatmaps update to the playhead's time
  • Right-click for "snap to event" options

Duration

  • Default — 24 hours
  • Range — 1 to 7 days
  • Longer durations are heavier to compute

Grid resolution

  • Fine (5 min) — smoothest chart, slowest compute
  • Medium (10 min) — default
  • Coarse (30 min) — fastest, suitable for week-long sims
