3.8 DATA TRACK ROLLUP
At the beginning of this chapter we discussed
the various coordinates that can be displayed.
The mouse cursor coordinates (either actual or
delta) are displayed on the status bar at the
bottom of the application window. If you have
enabled data tracking you will also see a “rollup”
dialog as shown in Figure 3-12.
The track rollup can be moved to any location
on the Windows screen (it is not restricted to
the ID-2000 application window). In its upper
right corner is a button with an arrow on it. This
is used to “roll up” or “roll down” the dialog box.
The upper left corner contains a Windows
system menu button that allows you to close,
roll up and down, or arrange the rollup.
“Arranging” the rollup automatically rolls it up
and locates it at the top left of the Plot view.
NOTE: If you are using Windows 95 you
may want to turn off the “Center Dialog
Boxes” feature in the Desktop -
Preferences. If enabled this feature will
force the rollup dialog to be initially
displayed in the center of your display.
FIGURE 3-12. Data Track Rollup Dialog
You can display or remove the data track rollup
by three methods:
•
Check or uncheck the View - Track Rollup
menu item
•
If the rollup is visible you may close it using
its system menu button at the top left corner
•
Check or uncheck the Data Track box in
the Plotting Preferences dialog.
The data track rollup may only be active if the X-
axis parameter is Time, Reference Time, or
Scan_Number. When active and rolled down, it
displays the data point value of each graph’s Y-
axis parameter for the point in time or scan
number pointed to by the mouse cursor. In
addition to these values, small markers are
placed on each graph identifying the data point
that is being displayed. An example of these
markers can be seen in Figure 3-13.
