Add cursor in 2d table report

[KaBooOoom]

Hi all

The question is in the title i.e. is it possible to add cursor in the 2d table report ? A customer asked me this question, and till now i wasn't able to find a good answer. I didn't find any property to do this, and i think this could be a great funtion.

Thanks for your future answer !

Hi KaBooOoom,

What do you mean by a cursor in a DIAdem REPORT table?  Do you want to enable the user to directly edit the value in the table or copy the values in the table?  Or are you looking for some sort of visual highlighting of a particular row or cell?

There are decorations you can use to highlight specific locations on a REPORT layout, but the values displayed in a REPORT table are not stored in the table, they are stored in the corresponding data channels the table links to.  If you really want to edit them, the designed place to do that would be in a VIEW table.

Please describe your use case in more detail,

Hi Brad, thanks for your quick answer.

Well, I will try to be a little bit more explicit.

I want to do the same thing in the report and in the view . In the report view, i add a 2d table, i drag and drop a signal in the table, and then i want to add one or several cursors in this 2d table in order ro measure an interval or a value, and then print the report (like a scope). I think this coulb be useful.

I hope this message help you....

Hi KaBooOoom,

Well, we're getting closer, but I'm still not convinced I really know what you want.  If you want to display in a REPORT table a certain row range from the data channel values, that is NOT starting at the first value and NOT ending at the last value, then you can already accomplish this by setting the start and end row to display in the table configuration dialog under the "Scaling" tab.

If you want t do this based on vertical cursors you drag around in a VIEW graph, then this can be accomplished by copying the flagged region betwee the cursors into new data channels and linking to these new data channels in your REPORT table.

Finally, if you see what you want already in VIEW, you can transfer the VIEW layout into a new REPORT layout with the "Transfer to REPORT" icon at the top of the VIEW panel.
