TIME INTEGRATION
 7 This operation calculates the cumulative
duration of data in the selected block that satisfy two Boolean criteria:
greater than one user-selected value, and/or less than a second user-selected
value.
 An example time integration window is shown at right. The default
minimum and maximum values are the lower and upper limits (respectively)
of the data range in the block, which includes 100% of the data and results
in a single event in each category. You can set new limits (as shown
here) in three ways:
- When the 'minimum' or 'maximum' buttons are clicked,
the limits are reset to these values
- When the 'greater than' or 'less than' buttons are clicked,
you can use the mouse to move cursor in the block window to graphically
select the upper and lower limits.
- Finally, you can directly type in the limit values in the edit fields
(hitting "return" will force the program to recalculate the results).
Be sure to select the time unit you want. Clicking the 'Switch to Selective integration' button changes to that mode, using the current set points.
- You cannot send results to disk or printer by hitting the 'p' key,
as usual. Instead, use the 'print' button (this button
only appears if output has been selected from the FILE
menu).
- This option DOES NOT print to a tabular file (the output format is
incompatible).
SELECTIVE INTEGRATION
This operation integrates all data in
the selected block that satisfy two Boolean criteria: greater than one user-selected
value, and less than a second user-selected value. The window shows
the integrated value in absolute terms and as the fraction of the total
integrated block.
An example of selective integration is shown at right. The default
minimum and maximum values are the lower and upper limits (respectively)
of the data range in the block, which includes 100% of the data and results
in a single event in each category. You can set new limits (as shown
here) in three ways:
- When the 'minimum' or 'maximum' buttons are clicked,
the limits are reset to these values
- When the 'greater than' or 'less than' buttons are clicked,
you can use the mouse to move cursor in the block window to graphically
select the upper and lower limits.
- Finally, you can directly type in the limit values in the edit fields
(hitting "return" will force the program to recalculate the results).
- Some additional considerations include:
- You cannot send results to disk or printer by hitting the 'p' key,
as usual. Instead, use the 'print' button (this button
only appears if output has been selected from the FILE
menu).
- This option DOES NOT print to a tabular file (the output format is
incompatible).
Additional considerations for TIME and SELECTIVE INTEGRATION:
- The 'distribution' button produces a histogram (bar graph) of frequency distribution in a small moveable window. If the file has more than one channel, you can click on buttons for different channels and get those means (you can also use the keyboard to select channels). With an option in the PREFERENCES menu, you can have different histogram windows for each channel, or use the same small window for all channels.
- You cannot send results to disk or printer by hitting the 'p' key, as usual. Instead, use the 'print' button (this button only appears if output has been selected from the Output Menu).
