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

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.
