To obtain local field data, choose Local Values in View menu or context (right mouse button) menu in field picture window. Otherwise if the calculator window is already open, double-click the Local Values item in the tree. The message appears prompting you to click the point, which physical quantities you wish to calculate.
Then you can click points where you need to know the values of the field quantities.
Local values are shown in a window, which also provides additional functionality:
To enter coordinates of the point of interest from keyboard, select any of coordinates with mouse and then click it again (after a period, to avoid the double-click effect). You can edit either Cartesian or polar coordinates.
Double-clicking the item, you can change the quantity, whose distribution is shown as color map in the field view.
You can select one or more items in the tree and drag it to another application (e.g. word processor or spreadsheet) that supports drag-and-drop.
Values of physical quantities can be copied to clipboard for printing numerical results, or to pass them to other application program, e.g., a spreadsheet program to produce a report. Click Copy to Clipboard in the context (right mouse button) menu. To see or copy exactly those field quantities you need, you can expand or collapse branches in the tree.
Context (right mouse button) menu also allows fast access to several other controls otherwise accessible in the Field Picture dialog.
