Data Logger and Scope Display Differences

The Scope View and Data Logger displays are similar in many respects, such as the way traces are
displayed, how traces are selected, and the marker controls - to name a few. This similarity makes it
easier to program each function.
However, there are important differences in the Scope and Data Logger displays that may not be
obvious at first glance. To help eliminate confusion when using both Scope and Data Logger, the
following table lists the major differences in the display functions.
Function Scope View
Graph Waveform capture
Trace selection Voltage, current, and power traces
- for N676xA and N678xA SMU
power modules
Voltage or current trace
- for all other power modules
Trigger level selection Note that current levels cannot be selected as trig-
gers on outputs that have been grouped.
Trigger mode Auto, single, or triggered
Trigger position Turn the horizontal offset knob
Horizontal trigger off- Left, center, or right
set reference
Trace save Press File, select Save.
