7.4.1.6 MS Options — Apply Button

When viewing large MSs the display may be partially or completely grey in areas where the required data is not currently in memory, either because no data has been loaded yet, or because not all the selected data will fit into the allowed memory (see Max. Visibility Memory above). When the cursor is over such an area, the following message shows in the position tracking area:

press ’Apply’ on Adjust panel to load data

Pressing the Apply button (which lies below all the options) will reload the memory buffer so that it includes the slice you are trying to view.

The message No Data has a different meaning; in that case, there simply is no data in the selected MS at the indicated position.

For large measurement sets, loading visibility data into memory is the most time-consuming step. Progress feedback is provided in the console window. Again, careful selection of the data to be viewed can greatly speed up retrieval.
