by “marquee selection”, dragging a box over a group of items. If an item has been
overlaid by another item and cannot be selected, use the tab key to step through all
the items one-by-one until it appears.
Changing an item’s properties
Set the properties of any added element by selecting it and double-clicking to open
the Properties dialogue(s). The online help in the dialogues details how to use
each one.
Graphs and reports
The font type and size of text within a report can be altered using the Properties
Box for the selected item.
Graphs
Multiple data graphs can be added to a report. The following graph types can be
added:
Data graph – shows the data produced by the measurement. The data can be
displayed in a number of ways which can be altered using the properties box.
Result Difference graph – shows the difference in result between two or
more measurement records. A reference record must first be selected.
Result graph – shows the particle size result of the measurement. It can be
displayed in different ways using its properties box.
Statistics graph – shows statistics of the result. The parameters available are
mean, standard deviation, maximum and minimum.
Trend graph – allow the measurement data from multiple records to be com-
pared to investigate any trends in the information.
Grade efficiency graph – grade efficiency curves created from particle sizing
results are used to establish the efficiency of separators such as hydrocyclones,
sedimenting centrifuges or gravitational clarifiers.
The properties of a graph can be altered using its Properties Box. The properties
are:
Colour – the colour of the background and/or grid can be modified using the
colour sets available. A custom colour can also be created.
Axes – the axes of the graph can be modified. The X and Y axes have optional
grid lines. The Y axis can be set to autoscale.
Display – the display can be set to show combinations of data, background and
fit. The display can be shown as a histogram or curve.
