Time and Event List Editor

Contents


Overview

The QSAS Time Editor is designed to allow the use to specify time intervals or event tables (lists of time intervals) for data selection, analysis, and plotting. Time intervals and event tables are held in a separate segment of the QSAS Working List on the Main Window. Additionally, all drop sites expecting a time interval will accept a time series object.

The Time Editor allows the user to manipulate time, including easily setting individual time fields, durations, advancing time in steps, adding events to a table. Mastery of the Time Editor, and of the use of Time Intervals on the Working List leads to efficient control over plugin fields, plot ranges, and the like.


User Interface

Time interval editors can be found in multiple places in QSAS: when adding or editing a time interval (or an event table), but also to specify an axis range in a plot or a selection range in the Data selector for example. The time editor can appear either collapsed or expanded, as shown in the following pictures:


Time Fields

If the fields are collapsed, only the "From" and "To" fields are displayed. Else you will also see the "Centre" and "Duration" fields.
