198 Part DJournalThe Journal sub-menu has two options: Paste measurement and Paste wave data. Both options are similar to thosefound in the Clipboard menu. The key difference is that data (whether measurements or raw data) is pasted directlyinto the journal rather than copied to the clipboard.Paste MeasurementChoosing Paste Measurement will cause all visible measurement windows to be pasted into the journal.‣ Measurement names and values are pasted into the journal in columns using the Tab spacingspecified in the File > Preferences > Journal dialog (see page 7191).‣ Use the Preferences > General dialog (see page 7189) to change the number of measurement rowsdisplayed (and therefore, available for pasting) or the measurement unit precision. Note that whenyou change the number of rows displayed, all current measurement settings will be cleared (set to"None") so you should establish the number of rows required prior to selecting measurements.Measurements for “peak-to-peak” from CH 1 and “delta t”from CH 2 pasted from the open graph to the journalPaste Wave DataThe Paste Wave Data option converts the selected area of the waveform to numeric format and pastes it into thejournal in standard text file format. This will paste the selected area from all channels, not just the selected channel,and will place a delimiter between the columns when two or more channels are being pasted to the journal. Bydefault, tab characters are used to separate columns; you can change to comma or space delimiters in the File > SaveAs > Text Options dialog. See the Save As…Text section on page 7184 for more information on how to change thecolumn delimiter.Wave data (from the previous wave sample) pasted from the open graph to the JournalVisit the online support center at www.biopac.com
