Oscilloscope Display Options

Display Options

  • Autoscale
    Autoscale enables the vertical scale to be set automatically, which can make it easier to keep the live signal(s) visible in the plot. Sometimes, when a measurement doesn't appear as expected, setting Autoscale to Auto can solve the problem. When autoscale is off, the vertical scale of the plot can be manually adjusted by a two-finger pinch gesture within the axis label region of the plot.
  • Time Scale
    Here, the horizontal time scale of the oscilloscope plot can be manually adjusted by selecting the desired value. The horiztonal scale can also be manually adjusted by a two-finger pinch gesture within the horizontal axis label region of the plot.

Cursor Options

  • Horizontal Bar
    When working with multiple channels in the oscilloscope tool, this option lets you choose which channel the horizontal cursor bar will be associated with.
  • Peak Track
    The cursor may be configured to automatically move to the frequency of the peak value within the current waveform plot. This option allows the peak track function to be disabled, or to track the maximum or minimum peak within the waveform.
  • Peak Track Channel
    When working with multiple channels in the FFT analyzer, this option lets you choose which channel the peak track function will apply to (the channel whose spectral peak will be tracked by the cursor).
