Using the Oscilloscope
Graphical User Interface
Other Measurement Features There are more measurements available
than will fit on a single toolbar. Click the More (1 of 2) or More (2 of 2)
icons to see other measurements. Clicking Clear All will remove all selected
measurements from the waveform display area.
Tab Display Area
The tab display area is located beneath the waveform viewing area.

Tab Display Area
The display area shows information and statistics for the particular tab that is
selected. The type of markers that are shown in the waveform viewing area
depend on the tab that you have selected. The selected tab has an orange
border to reflect the type of markers being displayed. For example, when the
Histogram tab is selected, the markers are histogram markers and are used to
define the histogram window.
Waveform Display Area
The waveform display area shows the waveforms, and optionally, the results of
your measurements. Several display options, including a grid, are available and
can be configured using the graphical interface.
Waveform Manipulation When using the graphical interface, two
features are available that can simplify your work with waveforms:
• Direct Manipulation—you can use the mouse to click and drag waveforms to
new vertical positions, which changes the vertical offset, or to new horizontal
positions, which changes the horizontal position or delay value.
• Zoom—you can click and drag a rectangular area on the display, then click
the Waveform Zoom menu item to zoom on that section of displayed
waveforms. The oscilloscope does this in one of two ways. If acquisition is
stopped, the magnification is done by the oscilloscope software. If acquisition
is running, the oscilloscope automatically adjusts the vertical scaling and
