Using the Zoom Feature

There are a number of ways to zoom to the data you would like to see on the screen. To activate the graphic zoom,
click the button on the toolbar. The graphics window has to be selected for this button to be active.
•
Graphic Zoom: You can graphically zoom on the portion of the data that is displayed on the screen by pressing
the left mouse button and dragging the box around the part of the graph you would like to zoom to. You can repeat
this until the graph is zoomed to just a few points. Pressing the right mouse button reverses the graphic zoom
(causes unzoom).
•
Unzoom: Pressing the left mouse button, then releasing it without dragging the mouse causes the graph to unzoom
(zoom out). Pressing the right mouse button reverses this zoom.
•
The button on the toolbar causes the graph to unzoom to the full scale of the data. This means that the
minimum and maximum scale will be about equivalent to the minimum and the maximum of the data.
•
Autoscaling a specific axis: You can also autoscale the time or one of the data axes only, without affecting the
other axes. To autoscale the time axis only, choose Time -> Auto Scale from the Zoom menu. To autoscale one
of the data axis only, choose Auto Scale for the appropriate channel from the Zoom menu.
•
Numerical Zoom: Another way to specify the zoom is to enter the minimum and maximum limits of the graph
numerically. You can do this individually for the time axis and for each of the data axis. To do this, select Custom
for the appropriate axis from the Zoom menu, and enter the minimum and maximum limits for the axis.
