Plot Checked Mode

To plot multiple datasets across entries or files, click the "plot checked mode" button in the toolbar. Then check the datasets you want to plot, and click "Refresh Data View." To select data based on attributes, select "Check Multiple" in the Tree toolbar. Later versions will include the capability for more complex queries.

Labeling

To add a label to an existing label dataset, hold down a letter key and click on the plot. A simple label with the name of the key pressed will be added to the plot at the location of the cursor on the time axis. To label an interval, hold down shift and the letter key, click on the plot at the start time of the label, and then click again at the stop time.

To add a label dataset, select the entry where you want the label to be added, and press the "Add Label" button on the main toolbar.
