DaqView’s Scope feature provides a means of setting up several display pages, each with one or more scopes and
single or multiple channels to view as Analog, Counts, or Logic traces in real time [with one type per scope]. You
can activate the Scope Window by clicking the Scope button on DaqView’s Main Window or by selecting Scope
from the Main Window’s Window pull-down menu. To add channels to a scope, simply click on the desired
channel [from the scan list] and drag it into the appropriate scope.
Note that you cannot mix channel types within a scope; attempting to do so will result in a message stating, for
example, Only Analog Channels can be added to an Analog Scope.
Display charts are intended for viewing general data trends and employ a decimation
process to facilitate continuous scrolling. Because of the decimation process it is common for
Charts and Scopes to present a different rendering of the same signal. The Scope display will
always be the more accurate of the two renderings since it represents all data points.
