Zooming Your Channels; Creating Zooms - LeCroy WaveSurfer MXs-B Getting Started Manual

Zooming your Channels

LeCroy offers extremely powerful, yet simple to use, zooming capability in the
WaveSurfer MXs-B oscilloscope. The large, bright 10.4" display with touch screen
lends itself very well to quickly creating zooms, and seeing how they relate to the
original channels.
There are a number of different ways to zoom in a WaveSurfer MXs-B
oscilloscope:

Drawing a box around the zoom area, using either your finger or a
mouse/pointing tool.

Using the front panel QuickZoom button.

Using the software toolbar Zoom button in the Channel dialog.
The operating behavior for all three methods is basically the same, with some
minor differences.
In all cases, the zoomed channels are displayed in a separate half-height grid at
the bottom of the display (separate from the channels). If you also have a Math
trace showing when you zoom, three grids are then shown on the display, each at
one-third height.
Comparison is made easy as the zoomed traces are nearly the same color as the
original channel traces. The zoomed area is shown in white on the original channel
trace. All zooms share a common horizontal zoom scale and position. Each zoom
has an independent vertical zoom capability. All zooms are calculated to 16-bit
vertical resolution. Therefore, you can vertically scale the zoom traces and still
maintain very high resolution when viewing signal detail.

Creating Zooms

There are three ways to create zooms of your channels.

You can draw a box around the area that you wish to
zoom simply by dragging your finger, stylus, or mouse
pointer around the area of the waveform or waveforms
that you want to zoom. Zoom traces are created
instantly in a separate grid.
UNDO your zoom by touching the UNDO button in the
upper-right corner of the display.
