# Charts

MotiveWave™ has perhaps some of the most advanced charting capabilities of any charting application available. In this section we will be exploring some of the basics of working with charts in MotiveWave™.

You can work with charts within the Console window or you can open separate chart windows to work with charts independently. The simplest way to open a chart window is to press the **Open Chart Window** button from the top right section of a chart panel.

Alternatively, choose *File > New > Chart Window* from the top menu bar:

This action will open a chart window similar to the one in the screen shot below. Regardless of whether you choose to work with charts in the console or separate chart windows, the features described in this section are the same.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.motivewave.com/user-guide/charts-1.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
