How to Add a New Result Window

Each type of evaluation is displayed in a separate window. Up to 16 individual
windows can be displayed per channel (i.e. per tab).

1. Activate SmartGrid mode.

All evaluation methods available for the currently selected measurement are
displayed as icons in the evaluation bar.

2. Select the icon for the required evaluation method from the evaluation bar.

3. Drag the required icon from the evaluation bar to the SmartGrid, which is dis-

played in the diagram area, and drop it at the required position. (See 

Chap-

ter 6.5.2.5, "How to Arrange the Result Windows"

, 

on page 81 for more infor-

mation on positioning the window).
