Chapter 8 - Using the Comparators
The Grid Window
The Grid window has two panes: Baseline and Actual. The Baseline pane shows the
data file that serves as a Baseline file for a comparison. The Actual pane shows data
from the current playback. You can control the display of the Baseline and Actual files
by using the
View
commands.
The grids in the panes show data in row and column format. Cells with a green
background contain data that passed the comparison between the Baseline file and
the Actual file. Cells with a red background failed the comparison.
You can set display options to control the Grid window. For more information, see
Setting Display Options on page 235.

illustrate the type of failure. If you click an item in the list, that item is highlighted in
the grid. If you are viewing a file with no differences, this section does not appear.
