Browse Data Tab:

The browse data tab is designed to allow quick browsing through the scans contained in the current experiment.  To use this feature, simply type the scan number in the Run # box or use the up/down arrows (grey arrows next to the Run # label).  Whenever the number changes, the scan is plotted and the ascii contents of the scan are displayed in the text box below the plot.  If New Plot is selected, each plot will be plotted individually as shown in the image below.

To overplot several plots, select Overplot instead of New Plot and simply type in the scan numbers in the Run # box.  As the number changes, each new scan number will be overplotted together with the pre-existing plots.  An example of several Ni powder scans is shown in the image below.

A hardcopy of the current plot can be obtained by clicking the Hardcopy button.  The destination printer can be changed from the main program by selecting File - Page Setup from the pull-down menus as shown in the left panel image below.  The page setup box will then appear (as shown in the right panel image below) and the printer can be changed by selecting the Printer setup ... button.
