194 Part DCutWhen Cut is selected, the selected (highlighted) area of the active channel (waveform) is removed and copied to aclipboard, where it is available for pasting into other waveforms. When a selected area is cut from a waveform, thedata shifts left to “fill in” the deleted area. So, if ten sample points are cut, all data after the selected area will beshifted ten sample points to the left. TIP The Cut function alters the relationship of events to the time base, so you might want toconsider alternatives to cutting sections of data. Other options include transforming thesection of the data using smoothing, digital filtering, or the Connect Endpoints functions.Area selected using editing toolSame data with selected area deleted. Note that dataafter the selected area has shifted forward in time.CopyChoosing Copy will copy the selected area of a waveform to the clipboard without modifying the waveform on thescreen. Once the area has been copied, it can be inserted in another waveform using either the Paste or the InsertWaveform commands. To copy a waveform to another channel in the same graph window, choose the DuplicateWaveform command.PasteThe Paste command will take the contents of the clipboard and paste it into the currently active channel at the cursorpoint. If no point is selected, the data will be pasted at the beginning of the waveform.Visit the online support center at www.biopac.com
