X-Cursors

The Data Graph has four X-cursors that indicate the temperature values at the intersection of a Data Plot with each X-cursor. When the Value Data Tab is selected, these values are displayed in the Data Table in four data columns labeled C1, C2, C3, and C4, representing X-cursor 1 through X-cursor 4 respectively.

X-Cursors

To move an X-Cursor:

1)	Select the Value Data Tab.

2)	Position the mouse pointer over the X-cursor grip (the small triangle below a X-cursor) then press and hold the left mouse button and drag it left or right releasing the mouse button when the X-cursor is at the desired location.

•

The user can also press the [tab] key to toggle select an X-cursor. When the desired X-cursor is selected, the small triangle will turn red. Then pressing either the left or right arrow keys will step the X-cursors. Each step is one pixel or one degree which ever is larger. This feature achieves cursor positions that are more precise.

Moving the selected cursor can be pushed into other cursors causing them to move them ahead of it.

The position of an X-cursor controls the values displayed in the Data Table. When an X-cursor is moved, values in the Data Table are automatically updated.

The Data Table includes a row for each of the sensors on the M.O.L.E.. The numbers in the four columns indicate the Y-values at the intersection of a Data Plot with an X-cursor. Refer to Value for more information.

When an X-cursor is dragged to a new position, it automatically snaps to the closest real X-value. Notice on highly magnified graphs that the cursor jumps from point to point. In an extreme case, if the graph is so highly magnified that there are no real X-values to move to, the X-cursors cannot be moved at all.

The Process Origin is the initial point from which all X-axis position data is calculated. After releasing the Process Origin at the appropriate point on the graph, X-cursor values are recalculated and displayed.
