230 BSL PRO ManualCutWhen Cut is selected from the Edit menu, the highlighted portion of the active window (Graph, Journal, entryprompt or dialog) is removed and copied to a clipboard, where it is available for pasting into other windows.Cut may move or alter memory and cannot be performed during acquisition.• When a selected area is removed from a waveform, the data will shift left to “fill in” the deleted area.So, if ten sample points are deleted, all data after the selected area will be shifted over ten samplepoints. Since this alters the relationship of events to the time base, you might want to consideralternatives to cutting sections of data—such as using smoothing, digital filtering, or the connectendpoints functions to transform the section of data.Area selected using theediting tool Same data with selectedarea Cut out Note that the dataafter the selectedarea has shiftedforward in time.CopyChoosing Edit > Copy will copy the selected area of the active window (Graph, Journal, entry prompt ordialog) to the clipboard without modifying the text/waveform on the screen.• Once the area has been copied, it can be inserted in another window using the Edit > Paste command or,for waveforms, the Edit > Insert waveform command.• To copy a waveform to another channel in the same graph window, choose the Edit > Duplicatewaveform command.PasteThe Edit > Paste command will take the contents of the clipboard and paste it into the currently selected areaof the active window (Graph, Journal, entry prompt or dialog).• If no area is selected, the data is pasted at the beginning of the waveform in a Graph window or the endof the text a Journal windowNoteCopy/Paste operations require BSL PRO to allocate additional memory and then load the data intomemory; when these operations are executed on large data files, the application may crash.Visit the online support center at www.biopac.com
