3.2.10 Operations on the channels
This paragraph describes the functions available in the channels window.
3.2.10.1 Lock and Autoscale functions
By selecting the Autoscale check box, the software automatically regulates the vertical dimension of the
channel graph. As the default option, the autoscale is activated automatically when the channel is set to
visible.
The Lock function, on the other hand, is used to lock the dimensions and position of the graph (Y axis) on
the values set in the Down% and Up% columns. These values can only be set when the channel lock has
been performed and specify the vertical limits (as a percentage) of the positions which the graph assumes
inside the analysis window. For example, with a lower limit equal to 0% (Down%) and an upper limit equal
to 50% (Up%), the graph will be displayed in the bottom half of the analysis window, whereas with a lower
limit equal to 50% and an upper limit equal to 100%, the graph will be displayed in the top half of the window.
It is also possible to display the graphs in the same area of the analysis window, by giving common values to
the Down% and Up% columns. By setting, for example, 0% for all Down% columns and 100% for all Up%
columns of the channels, the graphs will take up all the vertical space of the analysis window. Once the
display limits have been set, it is important to lock the channel so that its position and dimensions are not
reset to the default program values.
