prior to pressing the [F1] key. If the view is already at the maximum range of the
specified scale range, no scaling change will occur. However, the cursor will be
displayed and the X, Y, and “Ovr” (Overall) values will be shown in the upper
right corner of the screen. The [F1], [F2], [F4], and [F5] boxes will return to
“Options,” “Resume,” “Overall” and “Restart” respectively. If you wish to Expand
the X scale even further, retrace the steps from that point as described in the text.
Pressing the [F2] “Default” key will return the X or Y scale to the values specified
in the setup. This is a quick and easy way to return all expanded and shrunken
scales to that default value without the necessity of numerous keystrokes. If the
scale is already at the setup values when the [F2] Default key is pressed, the
function boxes will return to “Maximum,” “Pause,” “Spectra,” and “Restart”. No
other changes will occur.
Pressing the [F3] “Shrink” key will lower the X or Y scale of the spectra, in effect
shrinking the viewing area. You might think of this function as a “Zoom In”
feature. If the view is already at the minimum of the specified scale range, no
scaling change will occur. However, the cursor will be displayed and the X, Y, and
“Ovr” (Overall) values will be shown in the upper right corner of the screen. The
[F1], [F2], [F4] and [F5] boxes will return to “Options,” “Resume,” “Overall” and
“Restart” respectively. If you wish to Shrink the X scale even further, retrace the
steps from that point as described in the text.
Pressing the [F4] “View” key will display another sub menu. The [F1], [F2], [F3], [F4]
keys will be identified by the descriptions assigned in paragraph 19.1.1.11 above. The
[F5] key will be labeled “All”. Pressing the “F” key below the name of the channel will
enlarge the display of that plot to the full size of the screen. The other plots will continue
to gather data they will just be hidden from view. Pressing [F1] “Options”, [F3] “View”,
and [F5] “All” will return all available plots to the screen. The “F” keys will return to
“Options,” “Resume,” “Overall,” and “Restart.”
19.1.4.2.2.
Pressing the [F2] “Pause” key will pause the acquisition process and change to “Resume”
when pressed. Pressing the key, a second time will resume the data acquisition process
without resetting any values.
19.1.4.2.3.
Pressing the [F4] “Overall” will cause the screen to change from the spectra plot to the
overall display as shown in paragraph 19.1.3 above. You can change back to the spectra
plot by pressing [F4] “Spectra”.
19.1.4.2.4.
Pressing the [F5] “Restart” key will reset all of the recorded values to zero and begin the
sample count again.
