Time base
: The time base value is the time value of each
horizontal division of the oscilloscope. The time base is selected by
the up/down scale buttons either side of the current time base
value box. If the time base is greater than a pre-defined value, the
data is retrieved from the controller in sections and not as a
continuous trace of data.
The sections of data are plotted on the display as they are
received. The last point is a white spot.
X shift
: When the trace is completed while the time base is
changed to a faster value, only part of the trace is displayed. Use
the X shift scroll bar to view the complete trace.
If the oscilloscope is configured to record both motion parameters
and plot table data, the number of points plotted across the display
can be determined by the motion parameter. Additional table points
that are not visible can be made visible with the scroll bar. The
motion parameter trace cannot be moved.
Single/continuous trigger
: In single mode, the oscilloscope runs
until the oscilloscope is triggered and one set of data recorded by
the controller is retrieved and displayed.
In continuous trigger mode, the oscilloscope continues to run and
retrieve data from the controller each time the oscilloscope is
triggered and new data recorded. The oscilloscope continues to run
until the trigger button is clicked for a second time.
Trigger / halt data capture
: When the trigger button is clicked the
oscilloscope is enabled. If it is in manual mode the controller
immediately commences recording data. If it is in program mode it
waits until it encounters a trigger command in a running program.
After the trigger button has been pressed, the text on the button
changes to ‘Halt’. If the oscilloscope is in the one-shot mode, then
after the data has been recorded and plotted on the display, the
trigger button text returns to ‘Trigger’, indicating that the operation
has been completed.The oscilloscope can be halted at any time
when it is running, and the trigger button is displaying the ‘Halt’ text.
Clear configuration
: The current scope configuration (the state of
all the controls) is saved when the scope window is closed, and
retrieved when the scope window is next opened.
