The “Track curve” dialog is used to display spatial offsets of the source frames as a function of time. This curve is used to check the precision of a telescope mount. The offsets are relative to the reference frame, they are computed separately in X and Y direction.
Making a track-list
(1) The list of available data sets is displayed here.
The actual data set is shown here.
Click the “Save” button (3) to save the light curve to the file.
The Statistics is a tool that computes and shows the minimum, maximum, sample mean and standard deviation.
To activate the tool:
If no points are selected, all points in the data set are included in the computation. To restrict the data for the statistics, press and hold the Shift key and draw a rectangle in a graph while you keep the left mouse button pressed down.
The Measurement tool displays two cursors in the graph. The cursors can be adjusted by dragging them using the left mouse button. The position of each cursor, their distance and statistics for the data between cursors is presented.
To activate the tool:
From the local menu, select Tools ‣ Measurement. A new panel on the right side of the preview window appears.
Measurement tool
(1) Choose the axis you want to measure.
(2) Positions of the cursor 1 and 2 are displayed here.
(3) Distance between cursor 1 and 2.
(4) When cursors are defined on the independent (X) axis, number of points (frames) between cursor 1 and 2 are displayed and also minimum, maximum, mean value and sample deviation are presented.
