Figure 4-18 The Select Position dialog
This is used to specify the position, from which the object should display
data. If All available positions is ticked, the view will update display data
from all positions sequentially. This is useful during acquisition, in order to
monitor the data quality.
If All available positions is not ticked, a position number must be specified.
The number refers to the order in which data was acquired. The number
corresponds to the line number of the layout view. For off-line analysis of
data, it is often practical to select a single position at a time.
This command can only be activated from objects representing data from a
single position (i.e. not Moments and child objects of Moments).
Next & Previous Next is used to change to the next position in a traverse mesh and Previous
to the previous position. If only one position (single point measurement) is
present the command has no effect. If the selected object represents data
from many positions (e.g. moments, profile plots), these commands cannot
be activated. Functions the same way as the left and right arrow buttons in
the tool bar.
Previous view If a plot (Histogram, 2D plot, Vector plot etc.) is active in the workspace and
you have zoomed in, the plot can be zoomed one step back using this
command.
Restore view If a plot is repeatedly zoomed in, this function can be used to zoom out to the
original scale.
Properties shows the Object Properties dialog for the active object in the project
explorer. It has General and Summary tabs with similar functions as
described under the File menu.
In the lower left corner of the General view there is a check box for saving
data in the current object. You can save disk space by un-checking this.
Some objects (e.g. Transform) require frequent disk access if this check box
is checked, and hence both data acquisition and off-line analysis may speed
up considerably if it is un-checked.Raw data from the source is always
stored, so there is no loss of information by un-checking this box.
