Edit g Copy data set

g To clipboard (ctrl-shift-C)
Copies a tab-separated table of all selected data sets into the clipboard.

The clipboard can be pasted into table-oriented programs like Excel

The available formats are XYXY, XYYY and YYYY (see for a graphic image the table command).

• YYYY: Discards all X data. Puts the Y array of the first selected set in the first column, and all the Y arrays of the following selected data sets in the following columns.

• XYYY: Puts the X array of only the first selected set in the first column, the Y array of the first selected set in the 2^nd column, and all the Y arrays of the following selected data sets in the following columns. You could use this when all your data sets have the same X values. This option will only work when all selected data sets are equal in length.

• XYXY: Puts The X and Y array of the first selected set in the first two columns, the X and Y of the 2^nd selected set in column 3 and 4, and so on.

The ctrl-shift-C shortcut will be attached to the last option you have chosen.

g To another data set (ctrl-C)

Creates a fresh copy of the selected data set in Spectrum Viewer itself. The copy is placed in the first empty data set. Use this when you want to do calculations on a data set but want to keep the original data set intact for comparison.

When you draw a rectangle before pressing ctrl-C, only the part of the data set within the X-values of the rectangle will be copied.
