Clipping a Waveform
The Math | Clip command clips the present waveform data to the
specified Y value.
To perform the clipping function, you must first select the area of the
waveform to be clipped using the Y markers. To clip a waveform:
1 Turn on the Y markers using the Edit | Y Markers command or click
the Y Markers icon.
2 Position the markers to specify the minimum and maximum
Y values. Click the Thumbtack icon to set the markers.
3 Click the ‘edit select’ icon, then click and drag your mouse to highlight
the area to be clipped.
4 Select Math | Clip from the Menu Bar. The area above and below the
markers will be clipped.
Using Absolute
The Math | Absolute command changes the sign on all negative
Y-value points so that the waveform contains only positive points. Select
the waveform or segment on which to perform this operation, then select
this command from the Math menu.
Inverting a Waveform
Math |Invert causes the waveform to be flipped vertically. Each point in
the selected waveform is multiplied by -1 to get the inverted values.
Select the waveform or segment on which to perform this operation, then
select this command from the Math menu.
Mirroring a Waveform
The Math | Mirror command horizontally rotates the waveform about
the center of the selected segment. If the selected waveform contains
2000 points, the rotation would occur at point 1000. Select the waveform
data or segment on which to perform this operation, then select this
command from the Math menu.
