The Table Screen

The Table screen shows a data table view of your experiment.
There are several shortcuts on this screen.

Tap the run name field, initially called Run 1, Run 2, and
so forth, to edit the name of the run.

Tap a column header to change the column name,
displayed precision, or units.

New Manual Column

creates an empty column into

which you can enter values directly.

New Calculated Column

creates a new column whose

values are based on other columns by a mathematical
formula. For example, you might define a calculated
column as the inverse square of another column. A
calculated column can be used in graphs or in other
calculated columns.

Delete Column, Run

and

Clear All Data

will remove

columns, runs, or all of your data.

Strike Through

and

Restore Data

non-destructively

ignore and restore data. Select a row or rows in the
data table, or drag across a region on a graph, and
then use these commands. Curve fits and other
calculations do not use ignored data.

The

Edit item

allows you to copy and paste values from

one place to another. In particular, you might copy a range
of values and paste them into the Notes screen.

The Table menu allows you to create, modify,
or delete columns of data.
