This document contains a summary of the user interface for filtering rows in binary tables. Table filtering allows a program to select rows from an table (e.g., X-ray event list) by checking each row against one or more expressions involving the columns in the table. When a table is filtered, only valid rows satisfying these expressions are passed through for processing. ... select rows whose pha value is exactly 10 . ... 10 pha select rows whose pha value is in the range of 10 to 50 . ...
