Selecting Digital Meters from WaveView’s View pull-down menu brings up the Digital Meters window to

Digital Meters, Shown with 6 Meters Selected for Viewing
Note: Although the Digital Meters instrument is capable of displaying 6 decimal places, there is not
6-place accuracy in the readings. Due to transducer and transient noises, the accuracy of voltage
readings is ± 0.02%.
Double-clicking the left mouse button in a meters scale area brings up a channel selection pop-up menu.
A single-click with the right mouse button in this same area brings up a configuration pop-up menu
(see Bar Graph Meters figure, item H). Both of these pop-up menus are discussed in the upcoming section,
Meters Configuration Menu.
The items in this window are as follows:
A - Start C - N/A E - Print G - Number of Meters
B - Stop D - Stay On Top F - Rows x Columns
Toolbar items A through G are discussed in more detail in the following section, Meter Toolbars.
Configuration Note: …. For Digital Meters
Configure the Digital Meters settings by first clicking the right mouse button anywhere within the
digital meter display area. A pop-up menu will appear allowing you to reconfigure the meter in
regard to scale, limits, channel selection, etc. Refer to the section entitled,
