Displaying 1D Data

The Simplest Plot

  1. Load “MAR11060”.
  2. Right click the workspace in the workspace list.
  3. Select “Plot Spectrum ...”.
  4. In the dialog that appears enter “1-3” in the spectra number box.

You should get a plot like this with three spectra corresponding to spectra 1-3 (which in this case these are the monitors on MARI):

Another way to plot

  1. Load MAR11060.raw, but this time set SpectrumMin to be “100” and SpectrumMax to be “200”. Because the values are inclusive, we are actually loading 101 spectra, starting at 100.
  2. Display the matrix window to view the data:
centre
  1. In the matrix window highlight rows 0-2 and bring up the right-click menu:
centre
  1. Select multiple rows using one of the following methods:
    • Click the first index label, and then hold shift while selecting the last.
    • Click and drag down the index labels to select as many as you want.
    • Click while holding Ctrl to select / deselect individual rows.
  2. You will presented with 3 options for plotting the selected spectra, which are plotting with and without errors or plotting the spectra as a waterfall. The latter option is only available if more than one spectra has been selected. Select “Plot Spectra” (showing the values only):

Notice the legend entries “MAR11060-sp-100”, ..., “MAR11060-sp-102”, where “sp” is shorthand for spectrum.

Adding a curve to an existing plot

There are two ways to add spectra to an already existing graph, either from the same workspace of from another.

Drag and Drop

  1. Drag the Workspace from the Workspace List and drop it onto the graph you want to add the curve to.
  2. If the Workspace contains more than one spectra you will be asked which you wish to add to the plot.

From Another Plot

  1. Create a plot containing the spectra or curve you want to import into your destination plot.
  2. In the destination plot double click the “1” in the top left.
  3. In the “Add/Remove Curves Dialog” that appears, select the data you want from the available data, and click “->” to add it to your plot.
