Selected Events Mode

In Selected Events mode, you determine which data values are collected by pressing the Keep button on the toolbar (or selecting Keep from the Experiment menu) when a desired value is reached. You can use the elapsed time for the X values by checking the Use Time Column box.  When you start collection, you will see the current “live” values of the attached sensors on your graph.

If you elect not to use the time column, you can create your own. Enter the Column Name, Short Name (When space is tight, this will be used instead of the Column Name), and Units from the keyboard. Each time you press Keep during data collection, the X column value is increased by 1.

You can choose special symbols (including subscripts and superscripts) to be included in the title by clicking the  button.

The current reading is shown as a point protector moving across the graph window. The point protector color and shape can be changed in the column options window.
