Logger Pro Screen

The Logger Pro screen is divided into several parts, each of which contains different tools and information.

You can get help on any object in the screen by double-clicking the object and selecting Help.

The Menu Bar

Like most applications, Logger Pro has a menu bar across the top of the main window. Use the menu bar to access all of the software's features.

The Toolbar

The toolbar appears directly below the menu bar. It contains buttons for the most commonly used features of Logger Pro. All of the features available from the toolbar are also available by using the menus. As you move the pointer across a button, you are given a short description of each button.

Object

An Object is a graph, table, etc. which exists on the page and which you can create, modify, and delete. You can create new objects using the items in the Insert menu and modify them using the items in the Options menu.

The Status Bar

A status bar appears along the bottom of the graph object. When the mouse cursor is moved across the graph, the current coordinates are shown; if the mouse is dragged across the graph, the interval in each direction is shown.

The Cursors

This symbol appears when the cursor is over a cell in the Data Table.
The cursor takes on this appearance when it is hovering over the left and right limits on the x-axis or the top and bottom limits of the y-axis. Once clicked, a box will appear allowing you to change the value.
When the cursor hovers over the ends of the x- or y-axis, it changes its appearance. You can rescale or "stretch" the axis by clicking and dragging. The opposite end of the axis will remain static.
The cursor takes on this appearance when it is positioned at the center of the x or y-axis. Click and drag to translate the graph.
When the cursor is over the graph, you can hold down the mouse button and select a region. This is particularly useful for analyzing regions of a graph.
When an object is selected, its border becomes visible along with eight resizing handles (small black squares). Clicking and dragging a resize handle will resize the object in the appropriate direction.

Move the cursor over the edge of the selected object until the cursor turns into a hand, and hold down the mouse button while grabbing and moving the object.
