How can I see the graph starting 0.02s in the scope every time?

In my Simulink simulation, I want to see the graph from 0.02s to 0.08s. I set the simulation time to 0.08s. So, now I can see my graph from 0s to 0.08s. So, now how can I see the graph starting 0.02s instead of 0s in the scope everytime?

I'm using Matlab 2019b

TIA

Hi @Mohammad Ali Siddique,

I understand you want the Simulink Scope to always display only the interval from 0.02 s to 0.08 s, instead of starting at 0 s every run.

In MATLAB R2019b, the Scope block does not support fixing a custom start time. You can set the Time span (for example 0.06 s), but the Scope will always begin at 0 s. The only options are to manually adjust the axes after the simulation or log the signal and plot the required interval in MATLAB.

As a workaround, in newer releases (I checked in MATLAB R2024b) the Scope includes a Time offset property. This allows you to shift the visible window automatically.

For your case:

1. Open the Scope and go to View, then Configuration Properties, then Time.
2. Set Time span = 0.06 (the window length).
3. Set Time offset = 0.02 (the desired start).

Now the Scope will always display the window [0.02, 0.08] every time you run the simulation, without any manual zooming.

Hope this helps!
