Bookmarks

You can assign bookmarks to important points in time. To do so, use the Time evaluation > Set/Remove bookmarks command, or open the context menu at the relevant position by clicking the right mouse button.

TNCdiag supports setting and clearing of bookmarks in the Timeline and on the Messages tab.

A bookmark always refers globally to the entire diagnosis, and not just to a specific sub-window. This means that all views are affected if you set or clear a bookmark.

The bookmarks are numbered sequentially, in order to identify any specific bookmark more easily. Each bookmark is shown as a rectangle containing a number, displayed in the time scale of the timeline or in the first column of the messages.

You can change the position of a bookmark by dragging it to its new position (press and hold the left mouse button).

Use the Time evaluation > Next bookmark and Time evaluation > Previous bookmark commands or the previous_bookmark and next_bookmark icons in the evaluation toolbar to jump between bookmarks. The starting point is always the evaluation position.

If you call the Next bookmark or Previous bookmark command from a context menu, TNCdiag will use the current position of the mouse pointer as the starting point.

The Time evaluation > Remove all bookmarks command clears all bookmarks.

Managing bookmarks

You can use the Time evaluation > Bookmarks... command to open the list of bookmarks as a dockable window. The list is a table of all used bookmarks.

The list consists of the following columns:

Column

Meaning

Marker

In the first column, the bookmark symbol is shown.

Index

This column shows the index of the event the bookmark is related to. This column can be empty if no event is assigned to the bookmark.

Time

This column shows the (local) time of the bookmark. A bookmark always has a time associated with it.

Remark

In this column you can assign a remark to the bookmark. Double-click here in order to edit the remark. The remark is shown as a tooltip when the mouse pointer hovers above a bookmark.

Click the various parts of the table header in order to sort the bookmarks as you desire.

The Delete key deletes all selected bookmarks. However, bookmarks can only be added to the timeline or the Messages tab.

 
Tip

If you click a bookmark, TNCdiag will set the evaluation time to this bookmark.
