Showing / hiding the data cursor labels
Click to show a vertical cursor or a crosshair.
The cursor shows the x- and y- values for the trace line of the assigned channel. By right mouse
click on the cursor, a context menu is displayed where you can change the channel assignment.
ASCII Export of Graphics
Click to save the displayed data as a tab-delimited ASCII file (text without formatting).
The format is tab-delimited ASCII, so that the file can easily be loaded into other applications.
ASCII export is available for all plot types.
You can open the exported files with an editor or with your custom analyzing software,
for example, Excel or Origin.
Image Capture
You can take a screen shot of the all display types. On the display toolbar, click the Snapshot
button to take a screen shot of the displayed data.
The pictures are screen shots, that means that the resolution of the output file resembles the
screen resolution, that is, 72 dpi. If you then print the image with a 300 dpi resolution, the size
of the image will be reduced accordingly. Therefore, you should expand the display as much
as possible to obtain a big image with a good printing quality. The higher resolution you need,
the bigger has to be the display.
If you select the Enhanced Meta File format, a vector graphic is generated. You can then use
a standard vector graphics program such as Adobe Illustrator or Coreldraw to scale and edit
the graphics without quality loss.
The following image file formats are supported.
· (*.emf), Enhanced Meta File format
· (*.bmp), Bitmap
· (*.jpg), JPEG
