[PAUSE/RESET] will erase the data buffer whenever data acquisition is Paused or Done. To clear a buffer while a scan is in progress, two presses of the [PAUSE/RESET] key are required. However, at the end of a single shot scan, the data acquisition will be Done. This state is equiva- lent to a paused state and a single press of the [PAUSE/RESET] key will destroy the data!

Whenever the scan is reset and the data buffers are empty, Stop is displayed.

[CURSOR]

Pressing the [CURSOR] key will draw a box around the cursor readout of the active chart dis- play as illustrated below.

Use the [ACTIVE DISPLAY] key to select the desired (top or bottom) display. When the cursor readout is surrounded by this box, the knob adjusts the position of the cursor region. Moving the cursor beyond the edge of the graph will pan the display left (showing older data points) and right (showing more recent data points). Remember, the time window shown in the graph does not change. As the data points get older, data will scroll off the left as new points are taken.

When the [CURSOR] key is pressed, any previ- ously highlighted parameter field (in a menu box) will become non-highlighted. Pressing a soft key to again highlight a new parameter field will let the knob adjust the new parameter while the cursor becomes unselected.

This key has no affect unless the active display is a chart graph. Bar and polar graphs have no cursor.

[ACTIVE DISPLAY]

Pressing [ACTIVE DISPLAY] toggles the active display. In the single full height display format, this key does nothing (the displayed graph is always the active one). In the dual screen display, [ACTIVE DISPLAY] switches which display is active (top or bottom), as indicated by the high-

display as illustrated below.

The active display determines which display the [AUTO SCALE], [CURSOR] and [CURSOR MAX/MIN] keys will affect. [AUTO SCALE] auto- scales the active display. If the active display is a chart, the [CURSOR] key selects the cursor for knob movement and the [CURSOR MAX/MIN] key finds the max or min of the graph. Polar graphs are never the active display since they can not be scaled and have no cursor.

[MARK]

While data is being added to the data buffer, events may be marked using the [MARK] key. Pressing the [MARK] key will tag the next buffer location. A mark will appear on the chart and will scroll with the data. This is analogous to marking a real strip chart while it is recording. Marks are useful for marking when an external event occurred or when the experimental conditions changed.

A maximum of eight marks may be placed in the data buffer. A mark will appear on all stored traces

at the same buffer location. The different mark symbols are shown below.

A mark is always placed at the buffer start to mark the first and oldest data point in the scan.

The [EDIT MARK] menu allows the mark data to be viewed. The value of each stored trace and the time the mark was placed is displayed. The user can add comments to the mark data to label a spe- cific event.

When trace data is saved to disk, the marks are
