  • Autoscale
    Autoscale enables the vertical scale of the waveform plot and meter bar to be set automatically, which can make it easier to keep the live signal(s) clearly visible in the plot. Sometimes, when a signal 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 waveform plot (the meter bar will be adjusted to match).
  • Waveform Time Scale
    Here, the horizontal time scale of the waveform 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.
  • Use Channel Units
    When this option is switched off, the waveform and meter plots will display raw signals with amplitude relative to the full-scale input (maximum digital amplitude) of the hardware channels. To monitor signals with the selected input channel units and sensitivity calibration, make sure this option is switched on.
