2.Now hold down the left mouse button and drag the point under the cursor to the desired Y position.

To change the Y values of all data between the cursors:

1.Set both cursors on the left and right edge of the area whose Y values you want to change.

2.Click Cursor Tools/Cursors[Edit] > Edit Range.

3.In the dialog box that appears, enter a new Y value in the physical unit of the data upon which the curve is based.

To move the Y or X values of all data between the cursors:

4.Set both cursors on the left and right edge of the area whose Y values you want to move.

5.Click Cursor Tools/Cursors[Edit] > Move Range In Y Direction or Cursor Tools/Cursors[Edit] > Move Range In X Direction.

6.In the dialog box that appears, enter a Y or X offset in the physical unit of the data upon which the curve is based.

Note:   You can only manipulate data directly if the curve is based on a data set and not on a formula. If the curve is based on a formula, you first have to convert it into a data set.

The manipulation takes place directly in the data set and cannot be undone.
