MyScope ® Custom
Control Windows
MyScope control windows allow you
to build your own control windows with
only the controls, features and capabilities
that you care about and are important
in your job. For the first time you can
create your own personalized “toolbox”
of oscilloscope features. No longer do
you need to search through menus for
features or re-learn how to drive the
oscilloscope after a break from the lab.
MyScope control windows are easily
created in a matter of minutes using a
simple, visual, drag-and-drop process.
Once created, these customized windows
are easily accessed through a dedicated
MyScope button and menu selection
on the oscilloscope button/menu bar, just
like any other control window. You can
make an unlimited number of custom
control windows, enabling each person
who uses the oscilloscope in a shared
environment to have their own unique
control window. Since the control windows
are stored as files on the hard drive,
they can easily be transferred to other
CSA7000B, TDS5000B or TDS6000B/C
Series oscilloscopes, or they can even be
e-mailed to a co-worker around the world
when the need arises. MyScope control
windows will benefit all oscilloscope
users, from eliminating the ramp-up time
that many face when returning to the lab
after not using an oscilloscope for a while,
to the power user who can now operate
far more efficiently. Everything you need is
found in one control window rather than
having to constantly navigate through
menu after menu to repeat similar tasks.
Right Clicks
Right mouse click menus make simple
things as they should be – simple.
Right click menus are context sensitive,
meaning the choices presented in the
menu depend on where you right clicked
the mouse. This makes right click menus
extremely intuitive. Want to change the
cursor type? Right click on a cursor or
the cursor readouts. Want to change the
reference levels of an automatic measure-
ment? Right click on the measurement.
Want to change trigger parameters?
Right click on the trigger readouts. Want
to change a waveform’s color? Right click
on the waveform handle. Virtually all
objects on the oscilloscope display have
right click menus associated with them
that include all the appropriate actions or
features relative to those objects. There
are also right click menus for regions of
the display in addition to just objects.
For example, right clicking in the main
graticule brings up a menu with choices
such as Clear Data, Default Setup,
Autoset, Screen Captures, Save All
Waveforms and Add Screen Text, providing
single-click access to many of your most
commonly performed tasks.
