Current distribution maps are displayed with some default settings and options. You can customize the individual maps (total, magnitude, phase, etc.). To do so, open the '''Output Plot Settings Dialog''' by right clicking on the specific plot entry in the Navigation Tree and selecting '''Properties...''' or by double clicking on the surface of the plot's legend box. Two '''scale''' options are available: '''Linear''' and '''dB'''. With the '''Linear''' (default) option selected, the current value is always normalized to the maximum total current in that plane, and the normalized scale is mapped between the minimum and maximum values. If the '''dB''' option is selected, the normalized current is converted to dB scale. The plot limits (bounds) can be set individually for every current distribution plot. In the '''Limits''' section of the plot's property dialog, you see four options: '''Default''', '''User Defined''', '''95% Conf.''' and '''95% Conf.'''. Select the user defined option and enter new values for the '''Lower''' and '''Upper''' limits. The last two options are used to remove the outlier data within the 95% and 99% confidence intervals, respectively. In other words, the lower and upper limits are set to ? ± 1.96? and ? ± 2.79? , respectively, assuming a normal distribution of the data. Three color maps are offered: '''Default''', '''Rainbow''' and '''Grayscale'''. You can hide the legend box by deselecting the box labeled '''Show Legend Box'''. You can also change the foreground and background colors of the legend box.

In particular, it may be useful to plot the S_ii [[parameters]] on a Smith chart. To change the format of a data plot, go to the row in the '''Data Manager Dialog''' that contains a specific complex data file's name and click on the fourth column under the title '''Graph Type'''. The selected table cell turns into a dropdown list that contains the above three formats. Select the desired format and click the '''Plot''' button of the data manager dialog to plot the data in the new format.

After closing the Field Sensor Dialog, the a new field sensor item immediately appears under the '''Observables''' section in the Navigation Tree and can be right clicked for additional editing. Once a Wire MoM simulation is finished, a total of 14 plots are added to every field sensor node in the Navigation Tree. These include the magnitude and phase of all three components of E and H fields and the total electric and magnetic field values. Click on any of these items and a color-coded intensity plot of it will be visualized on the Project Workspace. A legend box appears in the upper right corner of the field plot, which can be dragged around using the left mouse button. The values of the magnitude plots are normalized between 0 and 1. The legend box contains the minimum field value corresponding to 0 of the color map, maximum field value corresponding to 1 of the color map, and the unit of the field quantity, which is V/m for E-field and A/m for H-field. The values of phase plots are always shown in Radians between -π and π. You can change the view of the field plot with the available view operations such as rotating, panning, zooming, etc.

{{Note|Every time you change the angle increment of the far field, you have to start a new simulation, even if your structure has not changed.}}
