Hooking Info constants

Print this Topic

How do you use Info sheet constants that you have saved?

You can use Info sheet constants as constraints in nonlinear regression or as constants when transforming, and even as axis limits or tick locations. You'll know when it’s possible to insert ("hook") an info constant, because you'll see the fishhook icon next to the number entry field.

- When you see this button in a dialog, click on it to bring up a list of all Info constants linked to the data you are analyzing.

Choose a value from this dialog, and Prism will put that value into the analysis, showing the value in parentheses in the dialog. This is a live link, and changing the info constant will cause the analysis to be recalculated with the new constant.

See: Hooking to analysis constants

You can also use Hook to Info sheet constants to create custom ticks, or set axis limits, etc.
