Data Probing

toolbar-probe00281.pngWith the Probe tool in Tecplot RS, you can click a location in your plot and view the values of all loaded variables at that point, as well as other information including its I, J, and K values and face neighbor information.

You can also use the Probe At dialog (accessible by clicking the Probe At button in the Probe dialog) to probe at a location specified as a set of spatial coordinates X, Y, and Z, or as a set of I, J, and K indexes. After specifying the position in the dialog, clicking the Do Probe button activates the probe and the corresponding values appear in the Probe dialog.

quick_probe00283.pngIf you do not need the values of all loaded variables and are viewing a 2D or 3D grid plot, you can use the Quick Probe tool. This tool displays the I, J, and K indexes of the probed point, along with the value of the contour variable, in the Tecplot RS status bar. This can be more convenient for repeated grid probes.
