• A Remark window opens. It is subdivided into three parts: text, style and anchor.
Remark text
< The remark text %T: %V automatically appears, which serves as a
placeholder, “Anchor to measured value“ being activated by a checkmark in
the white checkbox.
< Entering placeholders using %T for the actual time and %V for the actual
measured value is not possible unless “Anchor to measured value“ is
activated.
< If you leave the placeholders %T, %V and click on “OK“, you automatically
get a measured value for a specific time (= quick and easy method for
entering measured values in the graph).
< Additional text can be entered, or the placeholders can be deleted.
Font
< Here you can change the font size and color and put the text in “Bold“,
“Italic“ or “Underline“ by clicking the respective checkbox.
< A blue-highlighted box with “Set style as default“ appears. To use these
settings as the default font settings, left-click on this box. A window pops up
containing the message “The current style has been set as default“.
Confirm with “OK“. The message window closes.
Anchor
< The checkbox in front of “Anchor to measured value“ is initially activated
(i.e. checked). To enter text without anchoring it to a measured value,
deactivate this function by clicking on the checkbox.
< If the checkbox is activated you can select the sensor (measurement channel)
to which the remark is to be anchored (checkmark in the checkbox of the
respective sensor).
< You can also indicate the time at which the remark is to be anchored to the
measurement curve. You can either enter the time in ms or change it by
clicking the arrow keys next to the time box with your mouse. One click on one
of the arrows => corresponds to a change by the preset measurement rate.
• When you are finished entering your settings, confirm by clicking on “OK“.
• If you click on “Cancel“ your comments will be discarded.
• After clicking on “OK“ the Remark window closes and the remark box can now be seen.
If anchoring has been activated, the remark box is linked to the selected curve by a
line. The circle at the end of the line shows which measured value the remark
refers to.
If anchoring has been deactivated, only the remark is visible.
• The remark can be edited and shifted later providing the remark function has been
enabled.
The position at which the remark is anchored to the measurement curve can be
shifted by moving the mouse pointer over the anchor position. If you hold the left
mouse button down you can drag the anchor to the required position. If you have
entered the placeholder it is adjusted accordingly when you release the mouse
button. The anchor point is always a measured value as the remark is anchored
to the measurement curve.
The remark box itself can be shifted by moving the mouse pointer over the remark
box (it is now blue-highlighted; the square turns into a hand pointer, 3 handles
appear in the lower right corner). Click and hold down the left mouse button and
move the remark box to the required position.
