WaveScan enables you to search for unusual events in a single capture, or
to scan for an event in many acquisitions over a long period of time. You
can select from more than 20 search modes (frequency, rise time, runt,
duty cycle, etc.), apply a search condition (slope, level, threshold,
hysteresis), and begin scanning in a post-acquisition environment. Since
the scanning modes are not simply copies of the hardware triggers, but
software triggers, the capability is much greater.
For instance, there is no frequency trigger in any oscilloscope, yet
WaveScan allows for quick frequency scans. You can accumulate a data set
of unusual events separated by hours or days, enabling faster debugging.
The events are time stamped, table indexed, and event rows can be
selected for individual viewing.
You can also set actions to occur automatically when unusual events are
found: stop the acquisition, emit an audible beep, output a pulse as shown
in
Auxiliary Output Signals
(on page 43), print the screen as shown in
Printing and Hardcopy Functions
(on page 154), save waveforms as shown
in
Saving and Recalling Waveforms
(on page 145), or create a
LabNotebook™ entry as shown in
