Mouse Operations
This
section explains the mouse operations used with WinDaq. The mouse button
behavior depends on which part of the client area the mouse pointer is
in.
(mode change or channel selection)
Double click on the mode field to toggle between Scroll and Oscilloscope or Triggered modes, just like the Options Scroll Mode command. If status is SET-UP, double click on the channel list to begin editing it. See Display Mode Selection for details.
Press right button to start a graphic selection for use by the Edit Copy command. A rectangle is drawn in the inverse of the background color.
(sample rate or compression change)
If status is SET-UP, double click on the Samples/sec field to change the sample rate. See Edit Sample Rate command for details. Double click on the Compress field to bring up a dialog box to enter a new compression. See Edit Compression Command for details.
Press right button to start a graphic selection for use by the Edit Copy command. A rectangle is drawn in the inverse of the background color.
(strip selection or channel scaling)
Click left button in unselected channel to select it, or in selected channel to grow the waveform between vertical selection rectangle limits to strip size, or to double its vertical size if no selection rectangle.
Click right button in selected channel to shrink waveform in strip into vertical limits of selection rectangle, or to halve its vertical size if no selection rectangle.
Press right button in an unselected channel to start a graphic selection for use by the Edit Copy or File Print commands. A rectangle is drawn in the inverse of the background color.
(even overlapped strip selection or channel scaling)
Left and right buttons work as they do in the left margin, but they affect the secondary waveform in the strip in overlapped screen formats.
(form or drag selection rectangle)
Press and drag left button to form a selection rectangle, which remains fixed in size when the button is released.
Move pointer inside selection rectangle, press left button again and drag to offset waveform vertically by the amount the rectangle is dragged, or move the pointer into the margins or bottom line for other operations using selection rectangle.
Click left button outside the selection rectangle to clear it without doing any scaling.
Press right button to start a graphic selection for use by the Edit Copy or File Print commands. A rectangle is drawn in the inverse of the background color instead of the color of a selected waveform. See also Drawing Selection Rectangles.
Strip without Selected Channel
(clear selection rectangle)
Left button clears the selection rectangle.
Press right button to start a graphic selection for use by the Edit Copy or File Print commands. A rectangle is drawn in the inverse of the background color instead of the color of a selected waveform.
