# State State plots display the state of one or more signals over time by assigning colors to different value conditions. Each signal appears as a horizontal bar where the color indicates the signal’s state at any moment.
State plot
#### Defining State Colors You can define **color rules** based on conditions, such as: * *signal value < X* * *signal value > X* * *signal value = X* Each rule assigns a specific color and label when its condition is met. #### Adding Signals You can add **as many signals** to a state plot as you need by drag and drop. Each signal will have its own row with its own set of state rules. #### Plot Settings In the plot settings, you can: * Show or hide cursor values * Show or hide labels * Select a signal to configure its conditional color rules Color rules are evaluated **top to bottom**. The plot applies the **first rule that matches** the value for each time range.
