Comparing
copied traces
After you copy a trace to another trace window, you can
compare traces by overlaying (see Section 2.4.8, Overlaying
Traces) or by using trace arithmetic (see Section 5.12, Adding
and Subtracting Raw or Processed Spectra from the Same or
Different Data Files (Dual Spectral Trace Arithmetic).
