recorded during the Fv/Fm script (Figure 3-9).

The font size of the displayed text may be adjusted to improve readability with the Text size
command on the main menu.
Parameter Data Export From “Parview”
ASCII for export into other data analysis applications. This can be achieved with the Convert to
ASCII command under the Files menu. The command operates in a similar manner to that used in
“Modfluor” ( Section 2 ) and generates a comma de-limited file containing all of the data in the
parameter display area. Such files may be opened or imported into most common spreadsheet
packages such as “Excel” or “Lotus”.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT PARAMETERS WHICH HAVE BEEN
EXCLUDED FROM THE DISPLAY AREA ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE ASCII
FILE OUTPUT. THE ASCII FILE OUTPUT WILL ONLY CONTAIN DISPLAYED
PARAMETER TYPES.
If more than 255 parameters have been measured during a script it will be necessary to export the
data in at least two ASCII files. The first 255 parameters should be configured and exported to
file1.asc then the display should be re-configured to show parameters 256 through 510. The latter
display should be exported to file2.asc.
Other “Parview” Functions
The Files menu additionally contains a Print option which allows all complete rows and columns of
data visible within the current window view to be printed at the selected Text Font size.
The main menu also contains commands to view and edit scripts (Script), and to check the status
of the control unit (Hardware). Both of these commands operate in the same manner as the
“Modfluor” program and are described in Section 2 .
