Zoom
Marker
Threshold
Display mode
Miscellaneous
Refresh
Button | Operation | Description |
---|---|---|
| Reread data and refresh display | Reread data from files and redraw currently displayed waveforms. |
| Refresh display | Redraw currently displayed waveforms. |
Zoom
Button | Operation | Description |
---|---|---|
| Zoom fit | Fit waveforms to display area. |
| Zoom fit vertical | Fit waveforms in the vertical dimension only. |
| Zoom fit horizontal | Fit waveforms in the horizontal dimension only. |
| Zoom points | Click and drag to draw a zoom area. |
| Zoom min/max | Specify the coordinates of the zoom area. The minimum X and minimum Y points specify the lower left of the zoom area. The maximum X and maximum Y points specify the upper right of the zoom area. |
| Zoom in | Increase the magnification of the display area. |
| Zoom out | Decrease the magnification of the display area. |
| Zoom horizontal | Click and drag to draw a horizontal zoom area. |
| Zoom vertical | Click and drag to draw a vertical zoom area. |
| Zoom previous | Set display to previous zoom state. |
Marker
Button | Operation | Description |
---|---|---|
| Measure | Add a marker to the display to perform measurements. Markers can be single-point or two point. The placement of the markers can be constrained to the selected waveform and/or thresholds. |
| Horizontal measure | Add a marker to the display to perform horizontal measurements. |
| Vertical measure | Add a marker to the display to perform vertical measurements. |
| Text box | Add a text box as marker label. |
Threshold
Button | Operation | Description |
---|---|---|
| Horizontal threshold | Add a horizontal threshold to the display. |
| Vertical threshold | Add a vertical threshold to the display. |
| Rotated threshold | Add a rotated threshold to the display. |
Display Mode
Button | Operation | Description |
---|---|---|
| Overlay mode | Overlay waveforms on the same y-axis. This is the default display mode. |
| Eye mode | Display the current waveform as an eye diagram. |
| Fourier transform mode | Display the Fourier transform of the displayed waveforms. |
| Split view mode | Display each waveform on a separate y-axis. |
| Polar view mode | Display compatible nodes on a polar chart. |
Miscellaneous
Button | Operation | Description |
---|---|---|
| Delete | Delete the selected waveform(s). |
| Display preferences | Launch the Display Preferences dialog box. |
