Viewing Options
If you modify the overlay or settings, click Start Analysis to refresh the data if auto-analysis is not enabled. There are a number of options for viewing the image data. You can change how the data is displayed in the following ways:
| Display using Logarithmic scale | View the graph using a log scale. |
| Show a graph per channel | This shows a separate graph for each channel used in the image. |
| Show legend | This shows a legend beside the graph(s) for each channel. |
| Always Auto Range | Automatically scales the graph based on the data. When this is disabled you can use the mouse buttons to pan and zoom the scale and the graph plot. Auto Range can also be used in manual display mode to do a single-shot scale to fit data. |
| Max and Min | Use the Min and Max option buttons to plot the through-series for the max or min values of the series. |
| Background | Change the background colour for the graph from the palette and advanced colour options. |
| Filter Outlier Pixels | Use this option to filter pixels within the top and bottom 1% ranges. |
| Adjust Graph Axes | This button enables min and max values for the X and Y axes to be entered. |
Exporting the Graph and Data
There are two options for exporting the graph from the Through-series Analysis graph. With the graph displayed the export buttons are located to the top right:
| Export graph view to clipboard | Useful for pasting the graph into another document. |
| Export graph view to an image file | For saving the graph as an image file (jpg, png or bmp formats). |
To export the data, click the more button to view the data as a table.
| Copy to clipboard | Useful for pasting the data (and image metadata) into an other document e.g. Excel document |
| Export to file | For saving the data as a .csv file for use in other applications |
