Traces

A trace window or file can contain more than one trace. Each trace has its own y axis, but only one y axis is visible at any one time. To activate a trace click on it using the left mouse button, or use the TAB key to activate the next trace. The currently active trace is indicated by its name displayed in the Status

Trace Properties

The trace properties can be altered by clicking the trace with the right mouse button or using the Trace Properties command in the edit menu. A Trace Properties Dialog box allows properties such as the trace name and trace colour to be altered. Note that some colours may not be printed on non-colour printers.

Selecting Trace Data

Click on the trace to select data by using the left mouse button. Drag the mouse whilst holding the left button down. Selected data will be highlighted.

Use the Copy Tool Bar button, <CTRL><Insert> keys or <CTRL>C keys to copy the data into the clipboard. In the current version this is stored in a private format which can only be used by CapiScope.

Use the '=' Tool Bar button to calculate averages etc. the results will be appended to the last activated Results window, or if no results windows are open then a new results file will be created.

Adding a Trace to a File

Use the Paste Tool Bar button or <SHIFT><Insert>, or <CTRL>V keys to insert data from the clipboard into the currently active trace window. If the window contains a marked selection then the data will be copied to that location, otherwise it is copied to the start.
