Curve Manager
Curve Manager
In screen menu mode curves are managed using the CURVE MANAGER window, shown in the figure (below).
By default the CURVE MANAGER menu only displays 1000 curves. An unlimited amount of curves can be used and these are displayed in the menu in blocks of 1000. If an attempt is made to use a curve higher than 1000 then the Range options are used to select which group of 1000 curves you wish to display.
Against each curve that currently contains information is a curve number button. The colour of this button indicates the current blanking status of a curve

A range of curves may either be blanked or unblanked by selecting the first button in the range and then holding down the SHIFT key while selecting the last button in the range. All buttons that lie between the first and last buttons selected will have their status changed to match that of the first button that was selected.
The line label for each curve may be changed by over-typing the label currently displayed in the line label box.
The button located between the curve number button and the curve label shows the current colour, line style and symbol that will be used to plot the curve. These properties can be modified by clicking on this button to display the line style menu, see LINE STYLES
The CURVE CONTROL window can also be accessed via the option at the top of the graphics window or from the button in the main menu.
If the curve labels are too long to be seen in the standard Curve Manager menu then the menu can be turned into a floating menu by selecting the option in the menu header. After undocking the menu it can be re-docked by selecting
