How to Print, Copy or Save Protocol Events

The Event Editor allows the creation of files in two different formats:-
  • ASCII format: The Copy ASCII function can be used to transform a binary event file, or part of one, into a printable file.
  • Clarinet binary event format: The Copy Binary function can be used to export or backup part of an event file in a form that can be viewed using the Event Editor.

Copy ASCII Clipboard

A file containing an ASCII copy of part of an event file can be created using the Event Editor. After selecting the part of the event file you wish to copy, the file is created by saving the events that are within that selection.

The Edit=>Copy ASCII function on the main menu or F6 allows you to define the part of the event file you wish to copy:-

  • To define the start of the selection you wish to copy, move the cursor to the start of the events you wish to copy and select Edit=>Copy ASCII or press F6.
  • To define the end of the selection you wish to copy, move the cursor to the end of the events you wish to copy and select Edit=>Copy ASCII or press F6 again. The save dialogue will automatically be displayed for you to specify a file name. Note: By default, no file extension will be appended to the file name.

The Append option enables multiple event file extracts to be combined into a single ASCII file.

Copy Binary Clipboard

A file containing part of an event file in its native binary format can be created using the Event Editor. After selecting the part of the event file you wish to copy, the file is created by saving the events that are within that selection.

The Edit=>Copy Binary function on the main menu or Shift+F6 allows you to define the part of the event file you wish to copy:-

  • To define the start of the selection you wish to copy, move the cursor to the start of the events you wish to copy and select Edit=>Copy Binary or press Shift+F6 .
  • To define the end of the selection you wish to copy, move the cursor to the end of the events you wish to copy and select Edit=>Copy Binary or press Shift+F6 again. The save dialogue will automatically be launched for you to specify a file name. By default, an extension of .ace will automatically be appended to the file name.

The Append option enables multiple event file extracts to be combined into a single binary .ace file.

The Only displayed events option allows you to limit extraction to the events currently displayed by the event editor. By default, all events, including those not displayed because they have been filtered out, are copied.

The following text delimiting the beginning and end events are added to the binary file. 

***** ClipBoard: Beginning of Selection
***** ClipBoard: End of Selection
