Spectro Pro

The Undo command will reverse the effect of the most recent operation
(if possible). For example, after data collection, the Undo command
becomes Undo Collect. This is valuable if the previous run is needed but
had not been stored.

Cut removes the selected data and places it on the clipboard. Not all data
may be removed. Measurements made by Spectro Pro directly (the raw
data) are locked and cannot be deleted. New columns that you create are
unlocked and can be edited or cleared.

The locking of raw data columns is an intentional feature of Spectro Pro.
Since the raw data are simply a record of what is measured by the
spectrophotometer, it is inappropriate to change them, much as a
scientist never erases data from a notebook.

When a graph window is the active window, Copy will place a copy of
the graph on the clipboard. When a table window is the active window,
Copy will copy the data to the clipboard. You can then paste from the
clipboard into another application.

Paste places a copy of the clipboard contents at the cursor location.
Pasting is possible in the text window and into Manual Entry data
columns.

Clear removes the selected data without putting them on the clipboard.
Locked data such as original data may not be removed. Only manually
entered data may be cleared.

Select All is used to select the entire data table for subsequent copying.

Strikethrough Rows disables all selected rows (those points won't be
drawn or used in any way). It displays each selected row in the data table
with a line drawn through it.

Restore Rows reverses the Strikethrough action for the selected rows.
