This same process can be used when selecting and removing components. Visually identify the unwanted components such as blinks and heartbeats, mark them, then use this tool to remove them from the component data. You can also type the components directly into the user interface.

# Editing Marks
This section contains some more information on creating, editing and selecting marks in ways that would be frustratingly difficult by hand. The editing marks section allows you to preform things such as automatically searching for event breaks or flag breaks. You can also add/combined and delete your marks using the pop up GUIs.

**Mark Flag Gaps**
# Mark Flag Gaps
This tool can be used to find areas in data where there are no other flags.
* Mark Labels to Consider:
You will have to specify what flags you are looking for the absence of. For example if you wanted to mark all the time containing good data, you would list all of the flags that are in bad data.
* Critical inter-flag gap:
This is the minimum gap needed between marks to be considered. The default is set to 3 seconds so good data in a segment of less that 3 sec in will not be considered. This will ensure you are not looking at tiny slivers of time if they are surrounded by bad data.

* Critical inter-flag gap:
This is the minimum/maximum gap needed between events to be considered. The default is set to 3 seconds so the mark will only highlight when the wait time between the events is longer than 3 seconds for minimum. If you use the maximum option than you could mark the event gaps that are shorter than your time if you wanted.
