WaveView Scope Window
Scope mode is a WaveView utility that can display data acquisition waveforms in real-time. Before this
mode can be enabled, at least one channel must be "ON." Up to eight channels can be displayed at a time.
Note: The following formula determines the maximum number of scans that can be stored for use in the
Scope mode. The formula does not apply to disk storage.
( Total Scans ) * ( # of Channels ) * 4 < Acquisition Buffer Size

WBK17 Note – For Scope applications [pertaining to WBK17], the channels will be identified by the
same names used in the Label column on the WaveView Configuration spreadsheet.
To view additional channels in Scope Display, simply change the entry in the Number of
Charts selection of the Charts pull-down menu. You can simultaneously view up to eight
channels in Scope Display.
A Channel pull-down menu box is located at the right end of each chart and is used to select the desired
channel. Click on the box to display the channel list; then click on the desired channel.
The waveform display is actually a window looking at a section of the acquisition. The window size may be
increased or decreased and moved to any location on the time-line. The waveforms may be examined during
or after the acquisition.
