Foreword
The menus, with exception of the Task Menu and the Edit Menu, are presented in the
order that they appear on eZ-Analyst’s main window. The Task Menu is discussed first
since it is from this menu that the user (1) selects Measurement Mode or Playback
Mode and (2) makes use of the Auto-Ranging feature for input channels.
The Edit Menu is perhaps the most significant of all eZ-Analyst menus and is the most
frequently used. Chapter 4 is dedicated solely to the Edit Menu.

The Measurement Mode is an active data-collecting mode, which, for that reason, requires the
use of data acquisition hardware. The Measurement Mode can only be selected if a 600 Series,
ZonicBook/618E, or WaveBook is available; otherwise, eZ-Analyst will run in the Playback
Mode.
The Measurement Mode acquires data using one of the following three methods:
(1) Scope-Continuous, (2) Scope-Single, and (3) Record.
The Scope-Continuous and Scope-Single methods display data, but do not log data. The scope
methods are useful for signal validation and checkout. The Record method, in addition to
displaying data, logs data-to-disk based on user-defined start and stop criteria.
In addition to being selected from the Task Menu, the Measurement Mode can be selected from
the Task Tool Bar by clicking the <Change Task Mode> button while in the Playback Mode.
Clicking this button from Measurement Mode will change the task mode tool bar to Playback.
