Examine Traces

Click View on the main menu and then click Examine Traces to open this display. The Examine display allows you to easily compare the data from all three traces. Each category of data is selected by clicking on its corresponding tab at the bottom of the display. The increment between ranges is controlled by clicking on the Range Increments combo box and then selecting the increment.

When either the Path, CDFC, or Zero Adj. tab is selected the + and - Zero buttons become active. These buttons allows you to increase or decrease the zeroed range one range increment at a time. The values for the bullet's Path, CDFC, and Zero Adj. are instantly updated to reflect the new zeroed range. This unique feature allows rapid experimentation with different zeroed ranges. As with many of the program's features, this one is a tool for exploring the possibilities and gaining insights into the subject of exterior ballistics.

Once you have selected the data and range increment you want, you can get a printed copy by clicking on the Print button (left of Range Increments box). If you have the Print preview option selected, the Examine data is displayed in the Print Preview window and you can either print it or cancel.

You can click on the File button (left of Range Increments box) to save the selected data to a standard ASCII file. Most word processing packages can work with ASCII files; thus, you can use your word processor to put trace data into any format you want. A standard file dialog boxDialog_Box allows you to specify the name and directory for this file.
