---|
[78f02c3] | 14 | *Data Explorer* is a panel that allows the user more interactions with data. |
---|
[c147870] | 15 | Some functionalities provided by the *Data Explorer* are also available through |
---|
| 16 | the context menu of plot panels or other menus within the application. |

---|
| 53 | --------------- |
---|
[78f02c3] | 54 | |
---|
[c147870] | 55 | To interact with data it must be activated. This is accomplished by checking |

[d1fa2b8] | 56 | the box next to the file name in the *Data Explorer*. A tick will appear. |
---|
[c147870] | 57 | |
---|
[aa352c8] | 58 | Unchecking/unticking a box deactivates that data set. |
---|
[78f02c3] | 59 | |
---|
[c147870] | 60 | There is also a combo box labeled *Selection Options* from which you can |
---|
[aa352c8] | 61 | activate or deactivate multiple data sets in one go. |

---|
| 93 | to the button is a combo box containing the names of available plot panels. |
---|
[c147870] | 94 | Selecting a name from this combo box will move that plot into focus. |
---|
| 95 | |
---|
| 96 | If a plot panel is not available, the combo box and button will be |

---|
[c147870] | 118 | |
---|
[d1fa2b8] | 119 | The *Single*/*Batch* mode radio buttons only apply to *Fitting* and *P(r) Inversion*. |
---|
[c147870] | 120 | |
---|
| 121 | *Batch mode* provides serial (batch) fitting with one model function, that is, |
---|
| 122 | fitting one data set followed by another. If several data sets need to be |
---|
| 123 | fitted at the same time, use *Simultaneous* fitting under the *Fitting* |
---|
| 124 | option on the menu bar. |
