Page 20: Touch Screen Display
USER INTERFACE Touch Screen Display The entire display is a touch screen. Use your finger or the stylus to touch, drag-and-drop, swipe, pinch, and flick. Many controls that display information also work as “buttons” to access other functions. If you have a mouse installed, you can click anywhere you can touch to activate a control; in fact, you can alternate between clicking and touching, whichever is convenient for you. - Page 21 A toolbar along the bottom of the main Channel, Math, Memory and A drop-down menu bar lets you access set up dialogs and other Digital dialogs applies common actions so that you don’t have to leave functions.

There are five preset cursor From the Display types, each with a unique appearance on the display: Horizontal (Time), Horizontal + Vertical, Vertical (Amplitude), Horizontal (Frequency), and Horizontal (Event). These are described in more detail in the WaveSurfer 510 Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual. -
Page 37: Measurements & Statistics
Measurements & Statistics Measurements are waveform parameters that can be expressed as numerical values, such as amplitude or frequency. You can set up to six simultaneous measurements on one or more traces and view the active readout in a table. Statistical measurements can be added to the readout, along with histicons, a miniature histogram of the statistical distribution. -
Page 38: Math
BASICS Math Math traces display the result of applying a mathematical function (e.g., Average, FFT, Histogram) to one or more traces. One important distinction between math functions and measurement parameters is that the result of math is always another waveform trace, whereas the result of measurement is a number. -
Page 39: Memories (Reference Waveforms)
Memories (Reference Waveforms) To store a new memory, either: Memories are waveform traces stored for reference. They can be recalled to the display for comparison with other traces, or they can be zoomed and measured for better analysis of historical data. You can store up to Touch the Add New box and four internal memories (M1-M4). -
Page 40: Decode
BASICS Decode The Decode front panel button is activated when serial trigger and decode software options are installed. Press it to open the serial decode dialogs. Decoders apply software algorithms to extract encoded serial data information from physical layer waveforms measured on your oscilloscope. The extracted information is displayed over the waveforms, color-coded to provide fast, intuitive understanding of the relationship between protocol and signal. -
Page 41: Wavescan
WaveScan Press the WaveScan front panel button to open the WaveScan dialogs. WaveScan Search and Find enables you to search for unusual events in a single capture, or to scan for a particular event in many acquisitions over a long period of time. A predefined set of scan modes (similar to trigger setups) enable a quick search for events of interest. -
Page 42: History Mode
BASICS History Mode The History front panel button puts the instrument into History Mode. History Mode allows you to review any acquisition saved in the oscilloscope’s history buffer, which automatically stores all acquisition records until full. Not only can individual acquisitions be restored to the grid, you can “scroll” backward and forward through the history at varying speeds to capture details and changes in the waveforms over time. -
Page 43: Saving And Sharing Data
Setup, Waveform and Table Data Use the oscilloscope File menu options to save and recall data. See the WaveSurfer 510 Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual for more information on The current oscilloscope configuration can be saved to internal setup using these features. -
Page 44: Software Options
BASICS Software Options These are just some of the options available to enhance the performance of a WaveSurfer 510. Spectrum Analyzer Software (WS510-SPECTRUM) simplifies setup and use of the oscilloscope for analyzing frequency-dependent effects. It allows users who are familiar with RF spectrum analyzers to start using the FFT with little or no concern about the details of setting up an FFT. - Page 45 BASICS REFERENCE WaveSurfer 510 Oscilloscopes...
