Patent ID: 8006195

Claim:
A computationally implemented method comprising: providing a plurality of spectral data display and manipulation options on a display displaying spectral data, the plurality of data display and manipulation options including: providing a region further including a plurality of selectable tabs, including: providing a tab displaying a signal profile database upon selection; providing a tab generating and displaying a window displaying spectral data at a specific time interval upon selection; and providing a tab displaying a window for entering a note upon selection, further including: providing a plurality of enterable fields within the window; displaying a pictorial representation of the spectral data display and manipulation options, further including: displaying the region further including a plurality of selectable tabs including: displaying the signal profile database upon selection of the tab for displaying a signal profile database; displaying the window displaying spectral data at a specific time interval upon selection of the tab for generating and displaying the window displaying spectral data at a specific time interval; and displaying the window for entering a note upon selection of the tab for displaying a window for entering a note, further including: displaying the plurality of enterable fields within the window; providing a partitionable time interval indicator; providing a slidable tab on the partitionable time interval indicator for partitioning a time interval of a spectrograph; and providing an icon for providing a selection as well as a visual indication of whether a partitioned time interval is in an unlocked or a locked mode.
