User guide

Rules to remember........
a. Channels are selected by clicking with the left mouse button.
b. If you left-click ON a channel, that ONE channel will be selected. If you click any
where BUT on a channel, ALL of the channels on the OffLine Window will be se-
lected.
c. Channels are modified by using the right mouse button.
d. Only the selected channels will be affected by any editing command. Channels that
are not being displayed on the OffLine Screen, or channels that are not selected, will
never be affected by anything that you do on the OffLine screen.
Selecting one or more channels for modification........
You can select a single channel for a stretch of time by left-clicking on that channel
and sliding the mouse to the left or right before releasing the mouse button. You can se-
lect all the channels that are being displayed by left-clicking anywhere on the screen but
on a channel and sliding left or right before releasing the mouse button. You can see
what channel(s) are selected by the width of the lines they are drawn with. When a
channel is selected, the lines get fatter.
Changing the channels you selected........
Individual channels can be selected or deselected by <shift>+left clicking anywhere
ON the channel you want to select or deselect. The channel will fatten or thin up to
show that it has been selected or deselected.
Another way to change the channels you selected........
You can double check which channels are selected by clicking on the ʻSelected
Channels' button at the bottom middle of the OffLine screen. This will bring up the ʻMove
to OffLine...' dialog again. Any channels that are selected will be highlighted in the right
column. You can change which channels are selected by highlighting and unhighlighting
channels in the right column of this dialog before you close it and go back to the OffLine
Window.
You can also use this dialog to move channels on or off the OffLine Editing window.
In general, you want to keep the OffLine Editing window as clear as possible. Display
only the channels you are going to be modifying.
Changing the amount of time selected........
Once you have one or more channels selected, you can change the amount of time
selected by modifying the times displayed at the bottom of the window. The entries that
are used for ʻfromʼ and ʻtoʼ times, and the ʻamount of time selectedʼ are the main ones
you might want to try changing. You can type in numbers, right-click or left-click, or click
and slide up and down or use the up down buttons on the keyboard to modify these
times. These numbers can be copied to other locations in the program, or copied from
other locations using the little ʻclock faceʼ popups next to each entry.
A second way to change the amount of time selected is to <shift>+left click any-
where in the white background area of the window (anywhere but on a channel). The
selected area will extend to the new click point.
Modifying digitals with a right mouse click........
You can draw or undraw any digital function by right-clicking on it and sliding the
mouse left or right. If you start on a point where the digital function is 'Off' (only a thin
line is showing), it will be drawn in. If you click on a spot where the digital is 'On' (where
the line is already fat), it will be turned 'Off' as you drag the mouse.
