WaveScan Overview
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 169), print the screen as
shown in
Printing and Hardcopy Functions
(on page 161), save
waveforms as shown in
