WaveView, A Detailed Reference
When WaveView starts it interrogates the system hardware to see what options and expansion modules are
actually connected to the WaveBook. Unless you are using WaveView’s simulated mode, the channels
displayed on the WaveView.cfg window correspond to actual connected channels.
WaveView functions are initiated through toolbar buttons and pull-down menu selections. The toolbar
buttons were identified on page 2. An explanation of menu functions, in order of the menu structure, begins
in the "Pull-down Menu Commands" section, below.
Toolbar Buttons
Reference Note:
Toolbar buttons are identified and explained in the figure of the
WaveView
Configuration Main Window , and in the related table. Both can be seen on page 2.
Pull-Down Menu Commands
