Strip Chart

A strip chart file plots a channel versus time.

Strip Chart Procedure

  1. To open a Strip chart file, double click on the file in the Browse Files view or navigate to the preferred file from the Open File icon. If the file is indeed a Strip chart file, it will be opened in the Strip chart window automatically. When the image is opened it should look similar to the image shown in Figure 1.

  1. To add markers to the image, position the mouse in the graph area to the left of the Y axis. The standard cursor will change to a double-headed arrow cursor. When the double-headed cursor appears, left-click the mouse, and drag the cursor to the desired position on the graph. The data for the position is automatically updated in the Marker Pair Results area.
