4.8 Digital Display (for Monitoring TTL Inputs)
4.8.1 Displaying Digital Data
The Digital Display is used to view either the logical state of the 16 digital channels, or to display
the 16-bit encoded decimal number of the binary data (see "Numeric Display"). It is only available
if the data source you are currently using produces a Digital Data stream. The Digital Display has
features similar to the Parameter Display type. For more information on the toolbar, or how to
zoom channels, please refer to the topic "Parameter/Digital Display Tools".
 On the Edit menu, click Add Digital Display OR click the according button
on the toolbar -
OR - press CTRL+G on your keyboard to add a Digital Display to your rack.
Selecting bits
You can choose the bits you like to display.
1. Select the Digital Display in your rack.
2. Click the Settings tab.
3. Select all bits you like to view in the Digital Display.
The display now shows the logical state (0 or 1) of the selected bits.
4.8.2 Numeric Display
Instead of plotting the logical state of the binary data (bits), you can choose to display the
16-bit encoded decimal value. The numeric display is used for special applications, for example,
to display slow digitized data from an analog data source. It is not recommended for pulses that
are faster than the refresh rate of the display. Instead, use the Binary view to see the traces of
fast triggers.
