Paste
To cut readings displayed in the Editor window, first highlight
the data to remove. Then, do one of the following:
• click the Cut button on the toolbar
• right-click and select Cut from the popup menu
• press Ctrl-X on the keyboard.
When you cut data, the data will be stored on a clipboard so that
you can paste it elsewhere, including another data set (of the
same measurement type) or application.
To insert data readings - perhaps to fill in gaps in data caused by
a power failure, etc. - you will use the Insert Readings function.
This function will also appear if you have previously cut or copied
data and want to insert it into a graph.
1. In the Editor window, copy or cut data to place it in your
computer’s clipboard. This data can be from elsewhere in
the same data set or from a different site, as long as the
data properties match.
2. Go to the Date/time where the readings should be
inserted.
3. Right-click and select the Insert>Before or Insert>After
option.
Flowlink adds data from the clipboard to the displayed
graph and table. If valid data exists in the range,
clipboard data is dropped wherever readings overlap.
This prevents valid data from being overwritten and
Flowlink advises you that only part of the data was
inserted. If you want to overwrite the data, use the Paste
command instead.
Note: Only similar readings can be inserted into a data set. For
example, only level readings can be pasted into a level data set.
Paste places readings stored on the clipboard into the data set.
(Copy or cut the readings to store them on the clipboard.)
To paste readings from the clipboard:
1. Select the reading to be replaced. If more than one
reading is on the clipboard, select the starting point for
the new readings.
2. Click the Paste button from the toolbar or right-click and
select Paste (Ctrl-V). The new reading(s) will appear.
If there are multiple readings on the clipboard, Paste will
transfer all to the selected location. If the block of readings on the
clipboard overlaps existing readings, Paste overwrites the
existing readings. If you are trying to fill in gaps of data while
preserving valid readings, use the Insert command instead.
Note: Only similar readings can be pasted into a data set. For
example, only level readings can be pasted into a level data set.
