Waveform/Envelope
This control is used to select what kind of waveform is acquired and displayed. Waveform displays the
actual received signal. Envelope displays the envelope of the received signal as computed by the
flowmeter.
Build History
Normally, an old waveform is erased every time a new waveform is obtained and displayed. Build history
allows the waveforms to display on top of each other. This will show any differences from measurement to
measurement.
Restore Paths
Clicking restore paths will set the path enables and the pipe/open channel mode back to the state they were
in prior to entering scope mode. The analog outputs will also become active.
Open File
A previously saved file can be opened and displayed. The variables are not active.
Save File
The currently displayed waveform is saved as a *.dat file.
Print

If flowmeter reset is selected, the application will attempt to connect to the flowmeter and send its reset
