FIGURE 3-10. Data Statistics
NOTE: When you request to view statistics
ID-2000 asks Windows to load and run the
TextPad utility program which automatically
loads the IDSTATS.TXT file. If you have
multiple applications active or minimal
system resources Windows may not be
able to run the TextPad utility (or any other
application). Should this occur you will be
notified via an error message. You may be
able to close other applications in order to
free up Windows resources that will allow
the TextPad utility to be loaded.
It is also important that you exit TextPad
instead of just switching back to ID-2000
which leaves TextPad still running and
active.
3.7 SAVE AND RECALL PLOT
We briefly described the save and recall plot
feature during our discussion on zooming. The
primary reason for using these features is to
save you time by eliminating the need to:
•
Redraw a plot of a large data file
•
Create a plot template to match a specific
plot’s characteristics.
As we discussed in the zooming section you
can use the save and recall feature to make
zooming more efficient. Without this feature ID-
2000 would have to redraw the plot every time
you zoomed out to full scale which could be
time consuming on large data files.
There is another benefit of this feature.
Consider the case where you are analyzing a
plot and think that you are finished with it. You
switch back to the Plot Template view, load a
different file, and make some other plots.
Suddenly you realize that you need to look at
that first plot again. If you did not save that plot
then you would have to go back to the Plot
