New Project |
This command closes the current project and creates a new empty project. |
Load Project |
Use this command to open an existing Period04 (or Period98) project le. The le extension of Period04 projects is '.p04'. |
Save Project |
Save the complete project (time string data, frequencies, Fourier spectra,...) into a le. If you save the project for the rst time you will be asked to provide a name and a path for the le. Thereafter, each time you save, the changes will automatically be written to this le. |
Save Project As |
Provides the possibility to save the current project under a different file name. |
Recent project-files |
Gives instant access to up to 10 recently edited projects. The file
paths of projects are saved in a file named ".period04-recentfiles"
which can be found in the user directory. |
Import |
This menu entry contains the following entries:
- Import time string:
Imports a time string from
a file. If the project already contains time string data the user will be
asked whether he wants to erase the old time string. Please see
"Importing time
strings" for further details on this topic.
- Import frequencies:
Import frequencies, amplitudes and phases from a file.
|
Export |
The Export menu entry holds three items:
- Export time string:
Saves selected data columns into a
file. Please see "Exporting
time string data" for further details on this topic.
- Export frequencies:
Saves frequency data into a file.
- Export frequencies (Latex table):
Saves frequency data as a latex table.
- Export logfile:
Saves the protocol into a file.

VO Tools |
This menu provides interoperability tools to exchange data with other applications of the Virtual Observatory. It will be activated as soon as a Plastic Hub is detected. Tutorial 3 explains how to use this feature. |
Manage Data (available in expert mode only) |
This command opens the Data Manager, a
tool to edit project data. |
Expert mode |
If "Expert mode" is selected, you will have access to additional
tools. See "The expert mode" for more information. This option is by default deselected. |
Quit |
Quit the program. If the project has changed since the last backup the user will be reminded to save the project before closing the program. |
Select all frequencies |
Selects all frequencies in the Fit module. |
Deselect all frequencies |
Deselects all frequencies in the Fit module. |
Clean all frequencies |
Cleans the frequency list in the Fit module. |
Use frequency values instead of combination strings (expert mode only) |
If you want to use the frequency value of all combination frequencies in the project instead of the fixed combination string select this option. The program remembers the combination string and will use it again if this option is deselected. |
Calculate epochs |
Calculates the times of epochs for every frequency. |
Recalculate residuals |
Recalculate the residuals using the current selection of time points and a user-defined zero point. |
Predict signal |
Predict the magnitude or intensity at a specific time according to the current fit. |
Create artificial data |
Opens a dialog for creation of artificial data. |
Show analytical
uncertainties |
Opens a window that displays the parameter uncertainties based on the
assumption of an ideal case. |
