is currently displayed, and shows the presets for the displayed data. This duplicates <F4> and
Display/MCS/Buffer; see Section 4.6.2.
7.4. Function Keys
7.4.1. MCS/Buffer <F4>
The <F4> key switches between the display of the data in the MCS and the data in the buffer. It
duplicates the function of <Alt + 6> and Display/MCS/Buffer; see Section 7.3.5.
7.4.2. Taller/Shorter <F5>/<F6>
These keys decrease or increase the vertical full scale of the displayed spectrum so the peaks
appear taller or shorter, respectively. They duplicate the function of the <
8
> and <
9
> keys. The
vertical scale value is always shown on the Sidebar.
7.4.3. Narrower/Wider <F7>/<F8>
F7 increases the horizontal scale of the Expanded Display Window so the peaks appear nar-
rower, while F8 decreases the horizontal scale, making the peaks look wider. The horizontal and
vertical scale values are displayed on the Sidebar. These functions are duplicated by
<F7>/<F8>.
7.4.4. Select MCS <Ctrl + F1> through <Ctrl + F8>
These keys open a new window and display the spectrum for the specified MCS n (where n = 1
to 8, corresponding to <Ctrl + Fn>, in the order that the instruments are defined in the MCS
pick list). The selected instrument name (or the buffer) is shown on the Sidebar.
These keys duplicate the function of the MCS pick list on the Sidebar, and the Select MCS...
command under the Display menu. However, be aware of which instrument numbers are avail-
able when using the function keys. An error message will appear if the selected instrument is
invalid. In systems with more than eight instruments, use Display/Select MCS... or the MCS
pick list on the Sidebar.
