I have loaded a manual file for observations of Tres-5b..

Light curve displays ...but cannot get software to plot residuals?  Figured out how to label light curve, right clicked title at top and typed in Tres5-b

Label at bottom reads filtered...can I manually change ? to appropriate filter?

 

Can anyone help

 

Thanks

Model

Hi Mike,

Did you create a model for the data? I believe you need to do this first before you can plot the residuals.  There are some nice examples to follow in the VStar manual:

Thanks,

Residuals

Hi Mike and thanks Blake.

Other than what Blake suggested, if you have already created a model, perhaps you just need to make it visible via the Plot control dialog. See page 73 of the manual for an example.
