One very commonly used function is Limit Data Set. If you choose this function by clicking on
the highlighted item as shown below, you then use the mouse to move your cursor to the left limit
of an area of interest, click once, then move the mouse to the right limit of interest and click
again. The result will be a close up look at the specific area of the graph you have defined. Refer
to Figure 8.8 below to see the results of this particular feature.

To return to the full set of data again, click on Graph, then Cancel Limits. If you desire a hard
copy of any graph or table, or even a subset expression as shown above, you may use the Edit,
Copy command to ‘copy’ the graph in the active window to the “Clipboard”. You can then
‘paste’ this graph to the Windows application program of your choice. You may also be able to
print graphs and tables as described in the next section.

8.6 Save, Import, Export and Print Commands

Under File function in the top line menu, you can save a particular .DAT file that you have
customized, and rename it if you like. You may export it as a .CDF file or print it to a compatible
printer. You may create a .RPT (report). You may save a data format that you have created and
recall it in the future. With this function you can create several formats, save them and load them
as you need in the future. See Figure 8.9 for the File menu, which includes some of these
commands. Use the Window’s Help function to learn more about these features.
