created in the current session. See below for a description of how to use
the Evaluation Explorer.
• The work area displays the currently open items. Each item is shown in a
separate window that can be moved, resized or closed independently of
the other items.
• The status bar indicates the progress of current operations such as
application of evaluation methods.
6.1.2 The Evaluation Explorer
The Evaluation Explorer lists the sensorgram windows, plots and other
evaluation items in the current evaluation session. Items are organized in
folders according to type. Double-click on a folder to expand or collapse the
folder. Click on an item to display it in the work area. Right click in the explorer
area for options for adding new items: right click on an item for additional
options relating to that item. You can also remove or edit selected items using
the
Remove and Edit buttons at the top of the explorer panel.
You can hide the Evaluation Explorer panel to increase the useful size of the
work area by clicking on the pin icon in the explorer title bar. If the panel is
hidden, it will automatically reappear when you move the mouse over the left-
hand edge of the evaluation window.
6.2 Opening files
To open a file in the evaluation software, use the File:Open menu option. You
can open result files from the control software (file extension .blr) and saved
evaluation sessions (file extension .bme). If a file is already open in the software,
opening a new file with
File:Open will automatically close the first file. You will
be asked if you want to save the file if any changes have been made.
Opening a file automatically creates and opens an All sensorgrams item, and
creates a number of default plots according to the content of the file.
To open multiple result files in the same session, use the File:Append file option.
You can only append result files, not evaluation sessions. Appending a file to a
session will delete all the user-defined evaluation items in the session.
