the menu:
• Only Mariner-related commands are displayed on
menus when you open a Mariner .DAT file.
• Only Voyager-related commands are displayed on
menus when you open a Voyager .DAT file.
• Only spectrum-related commands are displayed if you
select menus when the Spectrum window is active.
• Only chromatogram-related commands are displayed if
you select menus when the Chromatogram window is
active. For Voyager multiple spectra .DAT files, UV
functions are disabled.
Tabs for data files Chromatogram and Spectrum windows display a tab at the
bottom (see Figure 1-3 on page 1-11) that allow you to switch
between data files, or between Chromatogram and Spectrum
windows for a Mariner data file. See “Moving Between Open
Files” on page 2-8.
Data file names Data file names are displayed in the:
• Title bar of each window
• Tab for each window
NOTE: If the full name of the data file does not fit in the tab,
part of the name is displayed followed by “...”. To display
the full name of the data file, place the cursor on the tab.
