Zoom function
The Zoom function is used to analyze part of the trace in greater detail. In association
with Channel (WDM/OSA) it enables rapid checking of a succession of events or chan-
nels.
The zoom is centered on the cursor selected. If the two cursors A and B are selected,
the zoom is centered midway between the two cursors.
The position of the section of trace displayed with respect to the complete trace is repre-
sented by a red rectangle on the mini-trace at the top left-hand corner of the screen.
