Moving the Smart Tool
To change the position of the cross hairs of the Smart Tool, hover your mouse cursor over the center
of the smart tool until the pointer turns into two crossed double arrowheads and a hand. Drag the cross
hairs of the Smart Tool to the desired location. To constrain the movement of the cross hairs to one
axis, hover the pointer over the dashed line that is perpendicular to the axis you want to move along
until the pointer turns into a hand. Drag the cross hairs to the new location.
Measuring change- Delta Tool
The Delta Tool is a feature of the Smart Tool for measuring the change
in the X and Y coordinates between two data points on a graph display.
To use the Delta Tool:
Drag the cross hairs of the Smart Tool to a data point.
Hover the mouse pointer over one of the edges of the small box around
the cross hairs until the pointer turns into a triangle and hand.
Click and drag the triangle to the second data point A dashed box will
appear with the selected data points at two of its corners. Along the sides
of the dashed box you will see the numbers that are the difference
between the coordinate values for the two points.
To resize this box, click the corner of the box containing the arrowheads and drag it to a new data
point. Clicking and dragging any dashed line will also resize the box (constraining movement to only
one dimension).
Note Tool
The note tool allows you to annotate a graph or
histogram. You can also label individual data points.
Statistics Tool

Pressing the drop down arrow next to the sigma
symbol will display a list of available statistics.
