2. DATA INPUT

2.4. TOOLBAR

Note concerning the X-axis:

Time or temperature scaling can be chosen for displaying the non-isothermal experimental data over the X-axis. For isothermal or stepwise experimental data only the time-scaled display is possible. The X-axis can be adjusted by using the button:

X axis: temperature.

X axis: time.


Other buttons:

Zoom in. To select part of the graphic area for zooming, hold the left mouse button and drag mouse towards DOWN/RIGHT. You will see a rectangle around your selected area. Release the left mouse button to Zoom. This operation can be repeated.

Zoom out.

Changing the colors of the curves.

Cut signals.

Adding/Deleting the grid lines.

Video help.

Shortcut to open new curves.

Shortcut to open a saved project.

Selection of a curve for removing.

Selection of a point for removing.

Undo to original display.


For DSC or DTA measurements exo signals are assumed to point to top. Just check carefully that the signal direction agrees with the exo red arrow on the right of the plot. The signals can be adjusted to the correct direction by using the checkbox ‘Reverse Exo Endo’.


This button can be used to enter any type of kinetic equation for the prediction of the reaction progress under any temperature mode. This option does not require the input of experimental data.
