FIGURE 2-7. Data File Selection Dialog
This is a standard Windows file selection dialog
box except that a button has been added in the
lower right corner labeled “Use Primary”.
There are three types of files you may select
from Figure 2-7:
1. Primary - If you want to use the plot’s
primary file simply click the “Use Primary”
button.
2. Secondary - If you wish to use an ID-2000
file for this graph other than the primary file
select the desired file.
3. Import - If you want to select a data file that
is not an ID-2000 data file you first need to
select the type of file desired you wish to
import in the “List Files of Type” drop down
box and then select the desired file. (Refer
to the Import/Export section of this manual
for additional information on importing files.)
Using the right mouse button to click on a graph
“Data File” button is a short cut method of
viewing information on that data file. You can
alternately use the File - Data File Info menu
item to view information on any data file.
(Figure 2-8).
FIGURE 2-8. Data File Info
The information on the data file is displayed in
ID-2000’s TextPad utility. This utility is similar to
the Windows Notepad program that allows you
to view and save text files. The CUT, COPY,
and PASTE functions in TextPad allow you to
manipulate the information as desired including
copying/pasting it into other applications.
NOTE: The data file information is in a
temporary file which will automatically be
deleted upon closing the TextPad utility. If
you want to keep this file you must save it
under a new name.
2.3 “PARAMETER SELECTION” GROUP
There are two columns of buttons in this group
(Figure 2-9). The first column is labeled “X” and
the second is labeled “Y”. These buttons
represent each graph’s X-axis parameter and
