By using Microsoft Word or similar programs, you can cut and paste the Time Waveform and/or Spectrum Plots for viewing. You can also place your large video files on a server and insert hyperlinks into your document to keep from having to email large video files.
NEW BEHAVIOR after update to Version 2.1
In this version, there are two new menu items in the Waveform Plots window which easily allow you to save the plot as an image.
- Right-click on the data in the plot to display a pop-up menu. Select "Copy" to copy the waveform data where the cursor was when you clicked. You can then paste this waveform directly into a document.
NOTE - when using this method, the location of the cursor will be the last one shown on-screen when you clicked. This can be useful for adding Time, Frequency, or Amplitude information from the plot.
