Annotating the trace

To annotate the trace:

1.Click the trace at the location where you want to insert text.

2.Right-click, then select:

•Paste text— If you copied results.

•Add text annotation— If you want to type in text. Type in text as needed.

The text is added to the trace, and remains in the

Spectrum window until you delete it.

 

NOTE: The text is associated with the x-coordinate. If you display another spectrum, the text remains in view. If you zoom on a different region of the trace and the x- coordinate moves out of view, the annotated text also moves out of view. If you annotate overlaid traces, only the text associated with the active trace is displayed.

NOTE: To move the text, click-drag the text to the desired position.

3.To customize the appearance of the annotated text, see Section 1.5, Setting Graphic Options.

4.To delete an annotation, do either of the following:

•Select the text, right-click, then select the appropriate delete or cut option.

•Right-click the trace, then select Delete All Text.

NOTE: Text annotations are included when you print the spectrum. They are not saved with the spectrum when you close the data file.
