Effective Array Center
The effective array center is determined according to the selected traces for dispersion analysis.
To deselect a trace, click the left mouse button on the top x-axis. Re-clicking the left mouse button at the same location will cancel the deselection of a trace.
To quickly deselect multiple traces, hold the Ctrl key and drag the left mouse button along thetop x-axis. Holding the Shift key and dragging the left mouse button along the same locationswill cancel the deselection of multiple traces.
