WORKING WITH DATA
You can open several Data Windows to look at the same data set (possibly in
different levels of detail or in different Display Modes): each Data Window has the
same name and #n (which identify the data set), but a unique number :x (following
the data set name) to identify the window itself.
Using a Data Window in 2D Display Mode you can overlay data traces from the
same and from other data sets (e.g. to compare data, possibly in different levels of
detail.) However, data can be modified only in a Data Window labeled with the
name and the #n of the data set to which the data belong. If you modify a data set
and attempt to close the data window, you will be prompted to save the data set to
file.
To initiate a data acquisition (and so create a data set of newly acquired data) you Acquisition
must either click the Take Signal button on the Main Window or select one of the
Take... menu options on the Acquisition Menu. The system opens a Data Window
labeled with the number #0 and the name Acquisition, and displays the acquired data.
To view signal, background and reference data, select the appropriate tab on the
bottom edge of the Data Window. If you have selected Video as the Acquisition
Mode (this is the default setting) new data will continue to be acquired and
displayed until you press the <ESC> key or click the Abort button on the Main
Window.
