Viewing Thumbnail Histograms
Histicons are miniature histograms of parameter
measurements that appear below the grid. These
thumbnail histograms let you see at a glance the
statistical distribution of each parameter.
Turning Off Parameters
You can turn all parameters OFF by touching the Turn All Off button in the
Measure dialog. This also redefines all the parameter definitions to NONE.
WaveScan™ Advanced Search and
Analysis
Introduction to WaveScan
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.
For instance, there is no “frequency” trigger in any oscilloscope, yet
WaveScan allows frequency to be quickly scanned for. You can accumulate
a data set of unusual events that are separated by hours or days, enabling
faster debugging. The events are time stamped and indexed in a table from
which you can select them for viewing individually.
You can also set actions to occur automatically when unusual events are
found: stop the acquisition, emit an audible beep,
output a pulse , print the
screen , or save the waveform .
