The zapping function allows the
user to identify a region of data points in a 2D
data object or 3D data object
and replace them with a straight line connecting the starting data point
with the ending data point at the extremes. In case of 3D data, the specified
region is replaced by a plain surface.
While it can be used for many things, this data editing tool is especially
useful for wiping out interferences and spikes, before e.g. searching
data on a library.
The following parameters can be adjusted for zapping:
Applied Axis
This parameter is only available with 3D data objects. It denotes the
zapping axis. Either the x-axis or y-axis can be selected for zapping.
What is the maximum zapping region?
The zapping region must not exceed the borders of the current active
spectrum. It is not possible to enlarge the zapping region beyond the
range of the x-axis of the current active 2D data object.
Minimum
Holds the starting value of the region in the dimension to be zapped.
Maximum
Holds the ending value of the region in the dimension to be zapped.
