View Data

The View Data option in the Data menu or the main toolbar offers a TableCurve 2D graph of the data as well as a very fast numeric list facility. This option is used only for graphically inspecting the data. In order to toggle individual points on and off, or to activate or deactivate bands of data, you must use the Section Data option.

Format settings for this graph will also be used for the graph of the data that is automatically displayed in the status window.

This option may be of interest for data inspection while Background Thread Fitting is underway.

Error Bars

Error bars will be available if replicates were averaged. If all of the replicates for a given X-value are identical, an SD of 0 is used for the error bar. If only a single value is available, TableCurve 2D uses the conservative approach of setting the SD for that point to range of the Y-variable.

List

The List Data option lists the index, x, y values in a three column table. The listing uses the TableCurve 2D text viewer facility.

Copy

The Copy Data to Clipboard option copies the x and y values to the clipboard. Formats include full precision binary (for spreadsheets such as Excel) and ASCII (for pasting into text editors). Note that the current data table can also be copied to the clipboard using the Copy option in the main Edit menu.

Save

The Save Data to Disk option writes the x and y values to a supported file format. These formats include ASCII, Excel 97, Excel 95, Lotus WK3, Lotus WK1, SPSS, or Systat. Note that the current data table can also be saved to disk using the Save As option in the main File menu.

MS Word/RTF Export

The MS Word/RTF File Export option is used to save the current graph to either a MS Word file or a portable RTF (Rich Text Format) file. The graph is inserted into the file as a Windows metafile.
