Annotating the
trace
To annotate the trace:
1. Click the trace at the location where you want to insert
text.
2. Right-click, then select:
• Paste text—If you copied results.
• Add text annotation—If you want to type in
text. Type in text as needed.
The text is added to the trace, and remains in the
Spectrum window until you delete it.
NOTE: The text is associated with the x-coordinate. If
you display another spectrum, the text remains in view.
If you zoom on a different region of the trace and the x-
coordinate moves out of view, the annotated text also
moves out of view. If you annotate overlaid traces, only
the text associated with the active trace is displayed.
NOTE: To move the text, click-drag the text to the
desired position.
3. To customize the appearance of the annotated text, see
Section 1.5, Setting Graphic Options.
4. To delete an annotation, do either of the following:
• Select the text, right-click, then select the
appropriate delete or cut option.
• Right-click the trace, then select Delete All
Text.
NOTE: Text annotations are included when you print
the spectrum. They are not saved with the spectrum
when you close the data file.
