Thanks for the feedback.

As a user of PSUD myself :) I'm painfully aware that the yellow lines aren't helpful, nor is the random cycling. Both of these have been dialled out in the design for PSUD3.
?
While the colours are allocated in pseudo-random order to start with, the colours are darker and they will stick with the trace during the lifecycle of the file. There's a whole bunch of improvements around the charting which are:
?
- Colours are auto-allocated to start with as with PSUD2, but that's where the similarity ends
- Darker colours are used (pls see screen snip below)
- You can pick your own colours for each trace and these will not change from session to session, the choices are saved with the file
- There is an option for different line thicknesses
- There is an option for different line types
?
2/4/5 above will help with printing out on black and white printers - I have a cheap A4 laser printer that has really grown on me as it's convenient and cheap to run.
?
Great news; so where's PSUD3?
?
The problem I have is that the charting component that is used to display the different voltages and currents has some challenges which are holding up PSUD3 right now. The first is that line thicknesses greater than 1 slow the display down considerably, no idea why. And I means slow.
?
The second is that the X axis which shows the time seems to get cluttered up with a bunch of textual rubbish when you zoom right in on a long simulation - this needs to be fixed as it's unreadable.
?
My plan is to write my own chart component that is optimised for PSUD and will give a clean display and good performance. So... this was just to let you know what's happening and that all the feedback is being captured.
