Optical Segment options Description

Split Segment

Split Segment cuts the current segment in two.

Use Split Segment to remove part of a data segment that contains a spike, noise, or other results of partial occlusion.

Remove Segment

Remove Segment removes the current segment from its marker.

Use Remove Segment to label a segment to another marker.

Reset Segment

Reset Segment resets the data segment to its original state.

Use Reset Segment to set a segment to its original state after you have modified the segment using a Control Curve or performed other operations.

If the original segment was split, it resets the modifications made to the current segment but it does not reassemble the segments.

Swap with Marker

Swap with Marker swaps data from the currently selected marker to another marker.

The swapping method is determined by the settings in the Insert menu in the Optical Options Label pane.

See Eliminating Swapping.

The Optical Segment options are also accessible when right-clicking a segment.
