709 Alignment System Options 72
Align Bending Chart
The selections in this area define how the upper (red), middle (green), and lower
(blue) indicators in the bending strain alignment graph are displayed. The
following illustration shows some examples.
The Use Solid Symbols is only applicable when there isn't a history trail
(because there is only one symbol you can choose outline or solid).When there is
a history trail, the current symbol is always solid and the history is always
outline. The history trail is composed of the specified number of previous points
which decrease in size.
Validate Text Box
The selections in this group define how the test displays in the text box of the
Validate tab.
• Word Wrap (when text box fills the window)
When this box is checked, the information displayed in the text box will wrap
onto the next line if it does not fit. Word wrap is useful when reading the
comments of the specimen, which might be longer than can fit in the width of the
window. Word wrap might not be desired when viewing the data because the
rows of values will wrap onto the next line making it hard to distinguish which
row is part of which line. This text box is normally on the right of the Validate
tab, in which case it does not word wrap because the text box is so narrow. This
word wrap option is only in effect when the text box has been enlarged to fill the
window (by clicking the 'Fill' button).
