Getting Started Manual
WaveScan Overview
WaveScan enables you to search for unusual events in a single capture, or
to scan for an event in many acquisitions over a long period of time. You can
select from more than 20 search modes (frequency, rise time, runt, duty
cycle, etc.), apply a search condition (slope, level, threshold, hysteresis), and
begin scanning in a post-acquisition environment. Since the scanning modes
are not simply copies of the hardware triggers, but software triggers, the
capability is much greater.
You can accumulate a data set of unusual events separated by hours or
days, enabling faster debugging. The events are time stamped, table
indexed, and event rows can be selected for individual viewing.
You can also set actions to occur automatically when unusual events are
found: stop the acquisition, emit an audible beep, output a pulse as shown
in Auxiliary Output Signals (on page 155), print the screen as shown in
Printing and Hardcopy Functions (on page 150), save waveforms as shown
in Saving and Recalling Waveforms (on page 142), or create a
LabNotebook™ entry as shown in My Lab Notebook Overivew (on page
134).
