Selecting and Saving a Range of Data

You can select, name, describe and save one or more ranges of data for each of your flights. Creating these ranges will allow you to easily and quickly select only a portion of your flight. That selection can then be used by one of the many analysis tools or to restrict the portion of the flight to view in Google Earth or to be exported to an external file.

Selecting a Range Using a Graph

1. This procedure works on any of the graphs (RPM, CHT, Altitude, etc) except for the 'Flight Path' graphic. That graphic uses a slightly different method.
2. Click anywhere on the graph to set the beginning of the range. See Figure A.
3. Hold down the < Shift > key and click anywhere on the graph to set the end of the range. See Figure B.
4. The range of data has been selected and you can now invoke one of the analysis tools. However, in most cases you will want to name and save this range first.

Selecting a Range Using the Flight Path Graphic

1. This procedure works only when the 'Flight Path' graphic is displayed.
2. Click anywhere on the flight path to set the beginning of the range. A small blue airplane graphic will appear. See Figure C. In this example we are selecting the triangle flown to calibrate the indicated airspeed.
3. Hold down the < Shift > key and click a point which occurs later on the flight path to set the end of the range. The selected data will be shown in red. See Figure D.
4. The range of data has been selected and you can now invoke one of the analysis tools. However, in most cases you will want to name and save this range first.

Selecting a Range Using the Data Grid

1. Click on any row in the data grid to set the beginning of the range. See Figure E.
2. Scroll down in the data grid (using the scroll bar to the right) so that the last row to be included in the selection is displayed.
3. Hold down the < Shift > key and click a row to set the end of the range. See Figure F. The selected rows will be displayed in blue. See Figure F.
4. The range of data has been selected and you can now invoke one of the analysis tools. However, in most cases you will want to name and save this range first.

Naming and Saving a Selected Range

After you have selected a range using one of the methods described above you can optionally name and save this range so that it can be recalled later.

1. Press the < F2 > key. A dialog box will appear. See Figure G.  ( You can also use the menu:  'Ranges' --> 'Create New Range' )
2. Fill in the range's name. Optionally select one or more of the range types. Once a name has been entered you will be able to click < OK >, which creates the range and saves it in the flight's data file.

Recalling a Previously Named and Saved Range

1. Hold down the < Shift > key and then press the < F2 > key. A list of previously saved ranges will appear. See Figure H.  ( You can also use the menu:  'Ranges' --> 'Select Range' )
2. Double click a row to select it's data.

Editing or Deleting Previously Named and Saved Ranges

1. Hold down the < Alt > key and then press the < F2 > key. A list of previously saved ranges will appear. See Figure I.  ( You can also use the menu:  'Ranges' --> 'Edit Ranges' )
2. Click a row to select it.
3. To edit the range click the < Edit > button.
4. To delete the range click the < Delete > button.
