This area graphically displays the spectrum data collected. This area can be zoomed by using
and clicking the mouse and “dragging a box” around the area of interest, from upper-left to lower-

Display

the Spectrum Display and dragging it. Un-zoom by dragging a box (any size) anywhere on the
Spectrum Display
from lower-right towards the upper-left.

This section along the bottom of the SNAP-MCA Main Window displays information about the
displayed spectrum, whether currently acquiring or not, and whether or not the spectrum has
been loaded to a file. This display reflects no information about any secondary spectrum that is
displayed.
