If a OMP-MODL Download file contains a channel with greater than 20,000 samples,
the plot must be broken into two or more pages for plotting. If a file of this size is
plotted, an information dialog box will display asking if the User wants to advance to
the next page before plotting.
When a page of data (beyond the first page) is selected for plotting, the X-axis will
display the time from the start of the file, however data will only be plotted in the
right half of the screen. Plotted data can then be expanded to full screen using the
conventional Zooming method.

Via Bitmap Files
Through the File/Save File as Bitmap menu choice (explained previously)
HyperPlots can be saved to a bitmap file format (*.BMP) which can then be
utilized in a multitude of other Windows applications.
From within other applications, menu commands are available that allow
User’s to specify a location and the bitmap file to be integrated. For
example, from within Microsoft’s Word for Windows, using the Insert Frame
and insert Picture commands results in a seamless integration of the plot
into a document. Other applications have similar procedures for integrating
plots.
HyperPlot bitmap files can also be annotated and/or edited further from
within graphic editing applications such as Windows Paintbrush.
Via the Windows Clipboard
For quick and simple integration of plots into other applications, the plot can
be captured to the Windows clipboard, then pasted into another document.
To perform this procedure, display the plot on the screen, then save the
screen to the clipboard by pressing <ALT> and <Print Screen>. Change to
the other application and utilize the Paste command to integrate it into the
document.
