It is possible to move the h-bars, which represent measurements on cuts, in three ways:
-
By editing the value in the main grid, or
-
By dragging the h-bars graphically, or
-
By editing the value in the graph information dialog.
After you have moved the h-bars, press F5 to regenerate the assay using the updated measurement values.
To drag the h-bars graphically, you can select editing mode in the graph by either:
-
Pressing the
button on the graph toolbar.
-
Right-clicking the h-bar on the graph and selecting Edit Measurement from the context menu.
After clicking
and entering Editing Mode when you bring the cursor close to an h-bar on the graph the cursor changes to a
double-arrowed cursor,
, which allows you to drag the h-bar to the new desired vertical position in the current
axis range of the graph.
After right-clicking and selecting Edit Measurement the cursor becomes a double-arrowed cursor,
, which also allows you to drag the h-bar to the desired vertical position.
To edit the h-bar values numerically, ensure that the graph information dialog is
present by clicking the
button on the graph toolbar.
You can edit h-bar values by entering new values into the corresponding cells.

The precisions of the measurements represented by h-bars are shown by vertical bars on the h-bars. The precision is determined by the Precision formula entered when configuring the test methods of the corresponding property in the Property Manager See Specify Test Methods in Add a new property.
Note: that if the precision is sufficiently small, the vertical bars will be hidden within the size of the h-bar.
