# Import necessary modules
from OperationAPI import *

# Start the headless application interface

# Set array about result file

# Open about result files
# This will open the result file in the application.
# When the result is first opened, a Page is created and an Animation View is created on that Page.

# This retrieves the currently active page in the application.

# This will create a new chart view with the specified name.

# Create a PlotParameters object to specify the parameters for the plot.
# Set the Entity to Plot.
# The Target is the name of the target for which you want to retrieve the curves.
# Set the paths for the curves you want to retrieve.
# This is where you specify the characteristics and components you want to plot.

# The instance of the curve.

# Documentation Example

# SeriesNames - A list of curve names.
# FFTType - Magnitude, Phase
# FFTWindowType - Rectangular, Triangular, Bartlett, Hanning, Hamming, Welch, BlackMan, None
# ScaleType - Original, Logarithm, Decibel
# Points - The number of data point for FFT
# Start - The start time for using FFT on target data series
# End - The end time for using FFT on target data series
