In 2D & Image modes, you can also zoom into an area by drawing a Zoom Box. In both instances, hold down
the primary mouse button and pull the cursor in a diagonal across the screen around the area that you are
interested in.
In 2D mode, the top and bottom edges of the zoom box demarcate the range of values that will be
shown over the full height of the data-axis. Having drawn the zoom box, release the mouse button to
perform the zoom operation. The minimum zoom width is 30 pixels.
NOTE: You may wish to perform a Rescale (see page 108) on data you have just zoomed. Rescale will
plot all recorded data values that fall within the new, zoomed range of the X-Axis against a newly
calibrated Data-Axis. In this way you will be able to see peaks and troughs that may have been clipped
off by your zoom box.
In Image mode, release the mouse button to perform the zoom operation. The image will zoom to
show the selected area in greater detail. The minimum zoom area is 30 x 30 pixels.
If you have selected Always Maintain Aspect Ratio you may find that an area slightly larger than the zoom
box has been expanded. The system adds extra area as necessary so that the zoomed image accurately
represents the height to width ratio of the individual pixels on your CCD-chip.
NOTE: To help the system zoom the area you require, draw the zoom box in similar proportions to the
height and width of the image display.
