Applets are configured through their command line to select parameters such as the names of the datasets to plot. The list of command-line options can be retrieved using the ``-h`` option; for example you can run ``python3 -m artiq.applets.plot_xy -h`` in a terminal.
In our case, create a new applet from the XY template by right-clicking on the applet list, and edit the applet command line so that it retrieves the ``parabola`` dataset. Run the experiment again, and observe how the points are added one by one to the plot.
In our case, create a new applet from the XY template by right-clicking on the applet list, and edit the applet command line so that it retrieves the ``parabola`` dataset (the command line should now be ``${artiq_applet}plot_xy parabola``). Run the experiment again, and observe how the points are added one by one to the plot.
After the experiment has finished executing, the results are written to a HDF5 file that resides in ``~/artiq-master/results/<date>/<hour>``. Open that file with HDFView or h5dump, and observe the data we just generated as well as the Git commit ID of the experiment (a hexadecimal hash such as ``947acb1f90ae1b8862efb489a9cc29f7d4e0c645`` that represents the data at a particular time in the Git repository). The list of Git commit IDs can be found using the ``git log`` command in ``~/artiq-work``.
