Generating Graph Overlays

Use the graph overlay function to compare multiple graph options. Graphical lines are differentiated
by the use of varying colored symbols outlined on a legend. Overlays may be generated in two ways:
• Multiple Sample Overlays - overlay up to 25 plots of the same type with that of the current plot.
• Multiple Graph Overlays - overlay two different types of plots from one sample. This type of
overlay is available only for:
– BJH Adsorption/Desorption
– DFT Pore Size/Surface Energy
– Dollimore-Heal Adsorption/Desorption
– Horvath-Kawazoe
– M-P Method
Only the Advanced format can be used to generate overlays. Go to Options > Options Presentation >
Advanced to access the Advanced format or select Advanced from the dropdown list at the bottom of
the window.

Multiple Sample Overlays

When working with an existing file, a copy of the file should be used rather than the
original.
To overlay the same type of graph on multiple samples:
1. Go to File > Open.
2. Select the .SMP file and click Open.
If a file with a status other than Preparing, Prepared, or No Analysis is selected, the isotherm plot
displays. Select Advanced from the dropdown list at the bottom of the window.
