5.5 Using the Point Tool The Point tool lets you measure any point along your graph trace. The graph trace for a Run is comprised of points based on the Sampling Rate you have specified for your test setup. The Point tool is used in Load-Distance modes. And the Point tool may be scoped along either the y-axis (Load) or on the x-axis (Distance, Time). All Point measurements have a specified Scope. The scope allows you to further define where a point is measured. Using the Scope units, you may define the scope for your point based on load, distance or time. For example, if you want to measure a point that is 100mS after the maximum load on your graph, you can set the maximum load coef- ficient ( L max) as an anchor for your point, and then set the scope at 0.1 seconds after the anchor. This will give you a result for load that is 100mS after your maximum load result.
