Shortcuts

Shortcuts

Shortcuts are allocated keys or key combinations, which directly trigger commands and thus speed up and simplify the handling of WinMF. There are shortcuts invoked by single keys as well as combinations involving the Shift-, Ctrl- or Alt-keys.

All shortcut operations can also be selected conventionally by mouse in the corresponding menus.

ShortcutDescription
Shift-0Pulls the cursors to the position of the active cursor. (on German keyboards: =)
1, 29The number keys activate the corresponding channel, presuming it is present.
+Zooms into the region around the active cursor.
-Zooms out of the region around the active cursor.
*Activates the channel with the subsequent number (cyclic).
/Activates the channel with the subjacent number (cyclic).
Shift-1Shifts the magnitudes of all channels in the frequency domain in such a way, that they have the same value at the active cursor position as the active channel. The phases are not modified. (On German keyboards: !)
DeleteDelete (on German keyboards: Entf) deletes the active channel without further confirmation.
Shift-Delete(on German keyboards: Umschalt-Entf) invokes the operation Delete region in the time domain, that zeroes parts of the active channel.
InsertInsert (on German keyboards: Einf) invokes the operation Edit-Read file, which loads additional channels from existing files.
EscapeTerminates the current measurement or the execution of a macro.
SpaceActivates the inactive cursor.
TabThe active cursor is shifted in such a way, that the distance between the cursors (Index values) reaches the next power of 2. The field Cursor 1-2 / Index now shows the value 2^n-1. (Exp. to 2^n)
Shift-TabThe active cursor is shifted in such a way, that the distance between the cursors (Index values) is reduced to the next power of 2. The field Cursor 1-2 / Index now shows the value 2^n-1. (Red. to 2^n)
Arrow up / Arrow downModifies the display range in the active window. In amplitude diagrams the display range is expanded / compressed around the 0-line; in logarithmic diagrams the entire displayed range is shifted up or down respectively.
Shift-Arrow up / Shift-Arrow downModifies the display range in the active window. In amplitude diagrams the displayed range including the 0-line is shifted up or down respectively; in logarithmic diagrams the range is expanded / compressed.
Arrow right / Arrow leftMoves the active cursor in the corresponding direction. Combined with Ctrl- the operation is sped up.
aSwitches between the display modes showing either the active channel only or all channels at once.
Alt-aOpens the AD/DA menu.
cToggles visbility of the extended comment.
Shift-cMoves the active cursor to the center of the displayed area.
dCalls the menu Display range.
Ctrl-dSets the readfilepath to the actual filepath.
eExpands the display of the active window to the entire time resp. frequency range. The cursors keep their positions.
Shift-eExpands the display of the active window to the entire time resp. frequency range. The cursors are shifted to edges of the diagram.
Alt-eOpens the Edit menu.
fIn the time domain f invokes the operation Transform-FFT.
Alt-fOpens the File menu.
iIn the frequency domain i invokes the operation Transform-IFFT.
Ctrl-iIn the frequency domain Ctrl-i switches the display to the imaginary part with linear scaling.
Alt-iOpens the Info menu.
jSets the active cursor to the minimum of all channels.
Shift-jSets the active cursor to the minimum of the active channel.
kEditing of the comment.
lActivates the left cursor.
Ctrl-lIn the frequency domain Ctrl-l switches the display to Group delay.
mSets the active cursor to the maximum of all channels.
Shift-mSets the active cursor to the maximum of the active channel.
Ctrl-mIn the frequency domain Ctrl-m switches the display to Level (magnitude).
nOpens the channel visibility menu and sets the focus to the input of the active channel number.
oSwitches the function cursor lock on and off. When activated, the function keeps a constant distance between the two cursors; they can then only be shifted in parallel.
Alt-oOpens the Domain menu.
pOpens the menu Plot/Plotting.
Ctrl-pIn the frequency domain Ctrl-p switches the display to Phase.
qInvokes the function save and plot.
rActivates the right cursor.
Ctrl-rIn the frequency domain Ctrl-r switches the display to the real part with linear scaling.
Alt-rOpens the Macro menu.
sOpens the filebrowser for saving a file
Ctrl-sInvokes the function save.
tShifts the display of the active window in such a way, that the maximum of the visible channels is located at the upper edge of the diagram.
Shift-tSwitches the display between Amplitude and Level in the time domain, and between Level and RMS in the frequency domain.
Ctrl-tActivates the time domain window.
Alt-tOpens the Transform menu.
wOpens the filebrowser to load a file
xZooms the display to the range between the cursors.
yModifies the range of the display in such a way, that all channels are just about entirely visible.
Shift-ySwitches the display between Amplitude and Level in the time domain, and between Level and RMS in the frequency domain.
Alt-yOpens the Display menu.
