Other Measurement Features There are more measurements available than
will fit on a single toolbar. Click the More (1 of 2) or More (2 of 2) icons to see
other measurements. Clicking Delete All will remove all selected measurements
from the waveform display area.
Tab Display Area
The tab display area is located beneath the waveform viewing area.

Tab Display Area
The display area shows information and statistics for the particular tab that is selected.
The type of markers that are shown in the waveform viewing area depend on the tab
that you have selected. For example, when the Histogram tab is selected, the markers
are histogram markers and are used to define the histogram window.
Waveform Display Area
The waveform display area shows the waveforms, and optionally, the results of your
measurements. Several display options, including a grid, are available and can be
configured using the graphical interface.
Waveform Manipulation When using the graphical interface, two features are
available that can simplify your work with waveforms:
• Direct Manipulation—you can use the mouse to click and drag waveforms to new
vertical positions, which changes the vertical offset, or to new horizontal positions,
which changes the horizontal position or delay value.
• Zoom—you can click and drag a rectangular area on the display, then click the
Waveform Zoom menu item to zoom on that section of displayed waveforms. The
oscilloscope does this in one of two ways. If acquisition is stopped, the
magnification is done by the oscilloscope software. If acquisition is running, the
oscilloscope automatically adjusts the vertical scaling and offset and the horizontal
scale and position to present the zoomed section of the waveforms.
