Become a Technician master by learning all of its time-saving touch screen gestures. Unless otherwise indicated, these gestures will work on both tablets and phones. If you’re using Technician on your desktop or laptop, check out our keyboard shortcuts.
Using Crosshairs
Placing one finger on the screen and sliding it around will cause the crosshairs to appear.
Scrolling through Time
Scroll through the chart in a given direction by dragging two fingers on the screen.
- Reposition the chart vertically by double tapping the chart.
- Reposition the chart horizontally by double tapping again.
[Note: If crosshairs are disabled, you only need to swipe with one finger to scroll.]
Zooming In and Out
- Zoom in or out by using the standard pinch and expand gesture (placing two fingers on the screen and pinch or expand your fingers).
- Alter an axis by pinching and expanding on the axis.
- Reposition the chart vertically by double tapping the chart.
- Reposition the chart horizontally by double tapping again.
Removing Saved Views
Tap and hold the saved view and swipe upwards to delete a saved view and remove it from the lower toolbar.
Changing Periodicity
Place three fingers on the screen and drag them left or right. Dragging left will increase periodicity and dragging right will decrease it.
