Calculated markers
Calculated markers are typically derived from a calculation and are often used in a calculation. For example,
the least squares calculation for the modulus line in the example test uses two calculated marker variables
that appear on a chart. (Marker B, the Slope 1 Index variable; and Marker M, the Slope 2 Index variable).
Using chart variables in test reports
You can add, remove, and edit the markers on the chart. You can also use chart variables elsewhere.
For example, if you add a marker at the maximum load (yield) point on the chart, you can use the X-Y
(load, strain) values associated with that marker in a test report that specifies the maximum load value.
Four-Panel View
The following figure shows the default four-panel view of the example test. Each panel is independent; the
charts and tables do not correspond to one another.
Charts have a right-click menu that allow you to:
• Zoom
• Configure the chart by editing the appearance of trace, curve fit, limit, and axis lines
• Add text
• Add or remove markers
• Copy values and images
• Switch, add, and manage views
