Scream! 4.5

If you select When Change, the label will be printed whenever

that attribute of the controlling Waveview window changes, i.e.
the Stream IDs when a stream is added or removed from the

window, the amplitude scale when the vertical zoom factor is
changed, and the date every midnight.

6. Click

.

7. Create a Waveview window containing the streams you want to

print.

8. Choose a suitable amplitude scale for each stream within the

window. Each trace will occupy the relative width across the

page as it does across the controlling window.

9. Choose a suitable time scale in the window. The figure between

the Scale icons

determines the scale that will be

used, in lines per second (i.e. one pixel in the Waveview
window corresponds to a single line on the printer).

Because printer lines are generally smaller than screen pixels - a

typical screen resolution is about 75 DPI - the printed traces will
appear squashed relative to the window. On a 75 DPI screen (or

printer) at a scale factor of 5, an inch (25.4 mm) will correspond
to fifteen seconds of data; on a 300 DPI printer, the same scale

factor would produce an inch of output every sixty seconds.

10.Make any other choices you require (offsets, block boundaries,

etc).

11.When you are happy with the appearance of the window, click

the arrow beside the Print icon

to display a drop-down

menu. Choose Continuous Print.

(If the Continuous Print option is greyed out, check that you

have not enabled continuous printing for another Waveview
window.)

The printer will output a short banner, after which it will begin

plotting the data.

12.To stop printing, click the Continuous Print icon again.

The display settings for the window will now continue to be reflected

in the printout. If you want to examine the data yourself, you should
Duplicate the Waveview window and minimize the one that is
