Selection modes
HP BenchLink/Arb uses different selection modes for performing various functions:
Edit Select mode. Parts or segments of the waveform can be selected by clicking the ‘edit select’ icon found on the Palette Bar. This selection mode allows you to highlight the desired area for editing or math operations.
When you first enter ‘edit select’ mode and move your mouse in the waveform edit window, the Status Bar reflects the X and Y positions of your cursor as it moves across the window. When a portion of the
waveform is highlighted by clicking and dragging the cursor, the Status 4 Bar reflects the start and end points of the highlighted area and the total number of points selected. The highlighted area can be adjusted using the up/down and left/right arrows in the following manner:
∙Right arrow - selects the right side of the highlighted area
∙Left arrow - selects the left side of the highlighted area
∙Up arrow - increases the highlighted area
∙Down arrow - decreases the highlighted area
