Line Drawing
Select Line drawing mode by clicking the Line icon or by selecting
Waveforms | Line from the Menu Bar. Click once in the waveform
window to start the line and then move the cursor and click again.
Numerous connected lines can be drawn by moving the cursor and
clicking again. Double-click at the end of the line in the window, press
ESCAPE, or press ENTER to terminate the line. You will remain in the
Line drawing mode until another mode is selected.
You are not allowed to draw over a standard waveshape unless you
thumbtack markers over one. Drawing over another line segment will
modify the existing points.
Editing a Waveform
Waveforms can be edited in multiple ways. Individual segments may be
selected and edited, or parts of the waveform may be cut, copied, pasted
or cleared from the screen.
Selecting Parts of a Waveform
To select a part or segment of a waveform, click the Edit Select icon. Use
the cursor to highlight the area for editing or math operations.
When a portion of a waveform is selected and highlighted, the Status Bar
reflects the start and end points of the highlighted area and the total
number of points selected. The highlighted area can be adjusted using the
arrow keys:
• Right arrow - selects the right side of the highlighted area
• Left arrow - selects the left side of the highlighted area
• Up arrow - increases the highlighted area
• Down arrow - decreases the highlighted area
In normal viewing mode, the up and down arrow keys may not seem to
increase or decrease the highlighted area in the waveform edit window.
However, the Status Bar will indicate the change and zooming will
show the effect more efficiently.
To invalidate a highlighted selection, click past the end of the waveform
or click the Edit Select icon.
