• Marker and Unit Labels - A label for each time-line appears on the left
side of the Activity window. The user may resize the label area by dragging
the dividing line between it and the rest of the window. By default, CinePlex
Editor selects the Automatically Adjust Label Area Width item in the
right-click menu, which means that the dividing line continually adjusts so
that the labels fit into the label area. To keep the size of the label area constant,
click to clear the Automatically Adjust Label Area Width item in the
right-click menu; this means the beginning of larger marker names can get
truncated. If the divider line is dragged, CinePlex Editor automatically clears
the Automatically Adjust Label Area Width item.
• Time Range Zoom Controls - The bottom of the Activity window contains
the Zoom Out button, the Zoom In button, and the scrollbar for
expanding, contracting, and moving the time range displayed by the Activity
window. Each end contains boxes showing the current minimum and maximum
extents of the displayed time range in seconds.
• Time Range Scroll Bar - Use the scroll bar at the bottom of the display to
move the time span of the display. When the scroll bar is moved, the video
frame that appears in the Video window is always updated to remain synchronized
with the Activity window.
• Times of Unit Firings, Marker Times - The central area of the Activity
window shows the times of marker occurrences and unit firings as colored
tick marks that are arranged along horizontal time-lines. By default, Cine-
Plex Editor provides a horizontal time-line on the display for each marker or
spike channel whose Show column is checked in the Markers window or the
Channels window. The color of the marker ticks results from the displaycolor
setting in the Markers window. The colors of the tick marks on the timelines
for spike channels correspond to the unit classification of each spike.
The user may set the colors to associate with each unit; to do so, from the
Tools menu, select Options and click the Colors tab. Also, if their respective
Show column in Channels window is checked, CinePlex Editor provides
line traces on the display for continuous data channels. To improve clarity, the
Activity window devotes twice as much vertical space to the continuous data
channels than it does to the marker or spike channels. The user may drag the
dividing line that separates the central area from the top banner. The user may
also drag a selected marker occurrence to a different time. To drag a marker
occurrence to a new time, hold down the SHIFT key, click the marker occur-
