Print

If there is a printer connected to the GLX, select Print from the Graphs

menu to print the currently displayed graph page.

Print All

Select Print All to print all of the graph pages.

For more information, see “Printing” on page 91.

Delete Graph Page

This option is available when two or more graph pages

exist. When you select Delete Graph Page from the Graphs menu, the currently
displayed page is deleted and the next page appears. (If there is no next page, the
previous page appears.)

Data Annotation

The GLX’s data-annotation capability allows you to attach notes to data points in
the Graph display. You can add these notes while you are viewing the Graph
either during or after data collection.

13

A note (represented by a flag icon:

) can

include a text message, an audio recording of your voice, or both; it can also be
“empty” (not containing text or audio).

Data with notes

There are two ways to attach a note to a data point in the Graph display:

Press

quickly to mark a data point with an icon (

) representing an

empty note. You can later add text and audio to this note.

Press and hold

and begin speaking to mark a point and immediately

record an audio message. When you are finished speaking, release

.

14

In both cases, the note is added at the location of the Data Cursor.

15

See page 16 for instructions on moving the Data Cursor. If you are adding
notes during data collection, it is often convenient to have the cursor tracking
the data so that notes are always attached to the most recently collected
point; press the down arrow key to make the cursor track the data.

After you have added a note, you can access its audio and text by positioning the
Data Cursor on it.

13

In order to add a note

during data col-

lection, the GLX must be in Continuous
Sampling mode (its default mode), rather
than Manual Sampling mode. See
page 57 for more information.

14

The GLX cannot record audio for a

data note when the microphone is con-
figured as a sound sensor or sound level
sensor. See page 58 for more informa-
tion.

15

The Data cursor must be turned on

(see page 22) in order to use data anno-
tation.
