Description
Curve Icon
(Choice of Cursor Mode) Choice of Cursor Mode Peak/Valley (cursor moves between minimum/maximum absorbance
values) or Cursor Mode Tracking (cursor moves over each data point of the scan).
Arrow keys
The arrow keys are used (right/left) to move the cursor (depending on the selected mode) to the
next data point. The data of the data point (wavelength/absorbance or transmittance value) are
highlighted on the x and y axes.
Note: Press any point on the curve to display the associated data.
Zoom Icon
This function is used to magnify the section of the curve in the vicinity of the cursor. The original
curve size can be restored by pressing the zoom icon again.
