I see no option for "Moving", only
 Analytic (checkbox)
 X Amplitude (edit field)
 Y Amplitude (edit field)
 Growing (checkbox)

None of these seem to do anything as far as I can tell.  It won't let me
choose timesteps other than 1, and the Animation bar seems to do nothing but
turn it on and off.

Using PV3.2.3 compiled from the source published on the website.
