6.1. Copy signals
When several phases are open, it is possible to copy signals simply by moving them to the zone wished. You can :- copy a signal from one zone to another within the same experiment ;
- copy a signal from one independent phase to another independent zone.
Drag-and-drop a signal from a treeview to another zone of the treeview ;- Drag-and-drop a signal from a treeview to the chart of another zone ;
- Drag-and-drop a curve of a chart to another chart ;
- Drag-and-drop a curve of a chart to another phase in the treeview.
6.2. Move axes
When the mouse pointer is on an axis allowing thus a shifting, its shapes changes to :
.To move the axis horizontally, hold down the mouse left button and move the axis
.To move the axis vertically, press +
.
During the vertical shifting, the cursor is shaped as: 
.6.3. Scrolling
The
icon enables to scroll the
chart. When the scroll is running, hold down
the mouse right button 
and move the
mouse on the chart.6.4. Zoom use
The 
icon enables the
zoom. When the zoom is activated, the mouse is shaped as: 
. Use the mouse to draw the
zoom rectangle. As soon as the mouse left button is released, the chart
adapts to the zoom rectangle.
It is possible to zoom several times and navigate between different
zoom levels with the 
and 
buttons.
 |
Tip |
|---|---|
|
You can use the mouse wheel to enlarge or reduce the level of zoom. This feature can be activated or not in the user's properties (see user's properties details). |
6.5. Magnifying glass use
The 
icon enables the magnifying
glass. In contrary to the traditional zoom, the magnifying glass
displays a thumbnail of the precedent zoom level with a rectangle
delineating the limits of the chart.
It is then possible to move the
rectangle on the thumbnail to refresh the chart.
We can easily move on the chart while keeping an overview of it,
thanks to the thumbnail.

6.6. Autoscale
The 
icon resets the axis
scales. In contrary to the classical button "Reset chart view"
,
the use of autoscales resets only the axes with a 
at their top.
To prevent an axis to be reset, click on the symbol
to block the axis; the symbol then changes to an 
. Thus, the axis minimum and
maximum will not change when using autoscales.
Furthermore, when a axis is blocked,
its minimum and maximum are not changed while using the zoom with the
mouse wheel 
.
6.7. Cursor tool
When the cursor tool 
is activated and a curve is
selected, the cursor follows the curve point by point depending on the
position of the mouse. It allows you to :
- Precisely know the coordinates of the point of the curve ;
- Automatically create a note with the coordinates of the point by clicking on the curve .

6.8. Chart size adjustment
The tool "Fit to" 
resizes the chart with a predefined size, in order
to maintain optimum quality when exported to MS Word. Three options
are offered :
Default : chart fills the entire window, its
size is flexible;
Word A4 : chart takes a size suitable to be exported
in an MS Word portrait A4 format;
Word US Letter : chart takes a size suitable to be
exported in an MS Word portait Letter format.
When A4 Word or US Letter format is selected, the background of the window takes a format similar to MS Word to preview the result after export.
|
Tip |
|---|---|
|
To export your chart quickly in MS Word, use "Export to
Word" |
.

activated
6.9. Access the menus
In Calisto Processing, several methods exist to use the features related to the signals. You can either:
- Right-click
on the signal's name in the treeview ;
- Right-click
on the signal's curve on the chart ;
- Select
the signal in the treeview and use menus or icons at the top of the
software window.
These options can save time depending on your work habits and tasks to be done.
6.10. Zone properties
To access the zone properties, right-click on
the zone's
name in the treeview and choose properties.
6.10.1. Independent zone properties
Fig. 4 : Independent zone properties window
In case of an independent zone, the initial mass and the molecular weight are displayed in the window, both values can be modified.
6.10.2. Experiment's zone properties
Fig. 5 : Experiment's zone properties window, coefficients
tab
In case of an experiment's zone, the initial mass and the molecular weight are not shown because they depend on experimentation. To access these values, use the experiment properties.
If the phase has correction coefficients, they are displayed in a second tab. Depending on the circumstances, the following factors can be displayed and modified :
- Temperature correction coefficients ;
- Sensitivity HF1 correction coefficients ;
- Sensitivity HF2 correction coefficients.
 |
Remark |
|---|---|
|
Coefficients depend on apparatus used. |
6.11. Experiment properties
To access the properties of an experiment,
right-click
on the experiment's name in the treeview and choose
