When you play back a recorded log file, a timeline representing the entire duration of the file appears at the bottom of the VCM Scanner window.
Slider Bar
The slider on this timeline indicates the moment you are currently viewing. The time span covered by the slider corresponds to the time frame shown on the Chart vs Time panel. Additionally, if you select 
in the Graph panel, the panel will only show data from this time span.
The thin blue vertical line on the slider bar indicates the exact time index of the data displayed on the channels display, on gauges, etc.
Markers
If markers were inserted in the log during scanning, they will appear as green vertical bars in the timeline.
NOTE: Inserting and displaying markers requires VCM Suite version 4.13 (or later). Support for displaying marker comments has not yet been added to the current release.
Zooming In and Out
Use the zoom controls to zoom in on a shorter time frame or zoom out to display a longer time frame:
|
Click this icon to zoom in (show a shorter period of time in more detail). |
|
Click this icon to zoom out (show a longer period of time in less detail). |
NOTE: The length of the time frame you are currently viewing is indicated next to Zoom under the timeline.

To move to a different time index in the log file playback, do one of the following:
| ￭ | Move the timeline slider right or left. |
