shows a pattern of short groups of clicks
- too short to be classified as trains

14. Click trains
F4 toggles filters on and off. Here apparently missing trains reappear. Their species was 'unclassed' by the KERNO classifier but was classed as 'other cet' by GENENC.

15. Skips
In high resolution displays blank screens ( no clicks) are skipped when you click ‘show next screen’ (F1).
By default this is applied to a CP3 file.
You can change which file is the ‘skip file’ and how many clicks must be on the screen to stop it skipping on further.

16. Graphs Show only the data that is on display.
Default is the frequency distribution of all the clicks on show.
On the view + page of the menu other parameters can be selected:
If ‘show mean values for hour of day’ is checked then ‘N of clicks’ can be shown in a 24 hour graph.
