Digital Plots are very similar to analog plots except in a few key aspects discussed. Please see Analog Plot's for a discussion on various abilities.
There is no "Settings" window for digital plots currently though it may be configured using the editor, hover over it and press F3.
Data Format
Digital Plots take incoming data in the format of: %10101
Up to 10 bits can be plotted on a single plot.
For a value such as %1, it's ambiguous how many bits should be plotted. A property called numberBits defines how many bits to plot, 8 by default, for leading 0's. If a value with more bits (%100001) is plotted and higher bits return to 0 (%1), they will still be plotted as 0.
Arriving data such as %100010 is accessible as din0 (LSB, 0 in this case) to din5 (MSB, 1 in this case). Up to 99 digital bit can be accepted at once. Once plotted, they can be accessed as bit5 or Ch5 (MSB, 1 in this case) to bit0 (LSB, 0 in this case).
Formulas
Each channel has a formula. If no formula is given, the values are assigned by the incoming digital values, as shown above. Otherwise, the formula be any math equation or conditional, a value of 0 or less is plotted as a LOW, a value of greater than 0 is plotted as a HIGH.
Drawing Coordinates
Like the Analog Plot, there are normal and constant drawings and relative and absolute coordinate, but since there is no adjustable Y-Axis values, the Y-Axis range is always 0 to 100 for both relative and absolute.
