The Toolbar
The toolbar contains icons for editing the waveform screen, icons
for saving and loading waveforms, fields for selecting an active
channel and for adjusting segment length and more. The Toolbar is
shown in Figure 4-34. For the individual icons, refer to the
descriptions above of the Wave Composer Menus.

The Waveform
Screen
Waveforms are created and edited on the waveform screen. Figure
4-35 shows an example of a waveform created using the equation
editor and the anchors to limit generation of the waveform to
between points 100 and 900. The various elements of the waveform
graph are described below.
The waveform graph has two axes – vertical and horizontal. Both
axes are divided into points.
The vertical axis represents 12-bits (4k levels) of resolution with
3152B legacy mode selected or 16-bits (64k levels) of vertical
resolution when modern mode operation is selected.
The horizontal axis, by default has 1024 points (from point 0 to
1023). This number can be changed using the Wave Length field in
the Toolbar. The maximum length depends on the memory installed
