Status Bar

The status bar is displayed at the bottom line in WinMLS. The left part is used to display the help text when the mouse cursor is placed at a control. For example, if the mouse cursor is placed at the  button, the text  will be displayed.

 

 

To the right of the help text, the cursor values (x,y) in the plot is displayed, as shown above. This is the position of the mouse pointer relative to the curve of the active measurement. Using this you can read out the values of the active measurement curve. Note that if you have plotted several measurements, only the cursor values for the active measurement will be displayed.

 

If a frequency domain plot type is displayed, the wavelength, half- and quarter-wavelength values (in meters) will be displayed to the right of the cursor values as shown in the figure below.

 

 

To compute the distance in meters, the speed of sound is used. The speed of sound is set in Plot->Plot Type Settings->Time Data....
