This documentation was written for releases up to 2018 and is being revised. Some dialogs have changed since. If something does not match what you see, write to mc@mcgrating.com.

In case of a two parameters scan, after clicking the Graph control the 3D Graph window will appear.

In case of a one dimensional scan, after clicking Graph control the Graph Dialog window appears. This window provides possibility to relate columns of result data to the X and the Y axes as well as to choose the curve color and thickness.
This dialog also contains a Smooth Phase check box. This box is enabled for a phase column data, if it is checked all 2π phase jumps will be removed from the graph.
After clicking OK the Graph window will appear. There are several independent Graph windows for different options of Scanning of and Scanning Direction and for the external data. These windows are common for all projects.

The graph window has the Edit menu with submenus:

  • Clear All clears all curves and closes the window.
  • Titles is the option for editing titles of the X and Y axes.
  • Copy copies the Image into Clipboard .
  • Save as saves the graph in Bitmap, JPEG and Windows metafile formats.
  • Print.

The second menu Curves contains the list of curves. By clicking the curve title the user can open dialog window for curve editing (color, thickness and curve title). The selected curve also can be deleted (Delete button) or saved in a data file (mouse click at the button with diskette icon opens the save dialog).
