Note: If you do not see the Spin-Box tool, double-click the Parameter-Value box.

There are four arrows in the Spin-Box tool.

TOP ARROWS: Decrease / Increase the Parameter-Value by the Spin-Increment.

BOTTOM ARROWS: Decrease / Increase the Spin-Increment by factors of 10

Example: the Cycles / Min data-value is 111.3, and the Spin-Increment is 0.1

Increase / decrease Parameter-value

Top Arrowheads

a)Top : Left arrowhead

New Parameter-value = Old Parameter-value – Spin-Increment

Click top left arrowhead: 111.3 – 0.1 = 111.2

b)Top : Right arrowhead

New Parameter-value = Old Parameter-value + Spin-Increment

Click top right arrowhead: 111.2 + 0.1 = 111.3

Increase / decrease the Spin-Increment

Bottom Arrowheads

a)Bottom : Left arrowhead:

New Spin-Increment = Old Spin-Increment ÷ 10

Click bottom left arrowhead : 0.1 ÷ 10 = 0.01

b)Bottom : Right arrowhead:

New Spin-Increment = Old Spin-Increment × 10

Click bottom right arrowhead: 0.01 × 10 = 0.1

Click bottom right arrowhead, again: 0.1 × 10 = 1

Results:

Cycle/ Min = 111.3

Spin-Increment = 1

1.Right-click with your mouse-pointer on the Parameter-value

There is a shortcut-menu:

2.In the shortcut menu, click:

Zero: to change the parameter-value to zero (0), or a minimum value if it cannot be zero (0).

Round: to change the parameter-value to equal the nearest value that is exactly divisible by the Spin-Increment.

Copy: to copy the parameter-value to your clipboard.

Paste: to paste the value from your clipboard to the parameter-value.

Example: the Cycles / Min = 111.3

Spin Increment = 1: if you click Round in the shortcut-menu, Cycles / Min changes from 111.3 to 111.0.

Spin Increment = 10: if you click Round in the shortcut-menu, Cycles / Min changes from 111.3 to 110.

Spin Increment = 100: if you click Round in the shortcut-menu, Cycles / Min changes from 111.3 to 100.

Example: Edit No. of Steps

1.Click in the parameter-box, so that the cursor is immediately after the parameter-value (100)

2.Enter with your keyboard: +20 to 100+20

3.Press the Enter key on your keyboard to update the value to 120
