●
Waveforms can be minimized to signal icons showing a small real-time signal view.
Thus, more space in the diagram area is available without switching off waveforms.
●
Diagrams are displayed on tabs
–
you can arrange them side by side or one above
the other. To change the diagram name, double-tap the tab name.
●
The Rohde & Schwarz SmartGrid function helps to arrange the diagrams.
Waveform states
Depending on its place on the screen and the effect of settings, a waveform has one of
the following states:
●
Off
●
Active:
The waveform is shown in a diagram
●
Selected:
One of the active waveforms that has the focus. In each diagram, one of the
assigned waveforms is selected
–
it appears "on top" in the diagram, and the grid
labels have the color of the selected waveform. Some of the toolbar functions, like
cursor and histogram measurements are performed on the selected waveform. All
waveform-specific settings are applied to the selected waveform of the selected
diagram. The vertical [Position] and [Scale] knobs, and the [Signal Off] key are illu-
minated with the color of the selected waveform.
In
Figure 5-1 , "Ch1Wfm1" is the selected waveform: The frame of the diagram and
the signal icon are highlighted.
●
Minimized:
The waveform is shown as real-time signal view in its signal icon.
To switch a waveform on
A channel waveform is activated as soon as you connect the probe. You can switch it
on and off according to your needs.
► Choose one of the following ways:
● Press the channel key.
● In the "Vertical" dialog box, select the channel and tap the "Show channel" but-
ton.
The waveform is now active, selected, and is shown in the diagram.
To select a waveform
► Choose one of the following ways:
● Tap the waveform in the waveform diagram.
● To select a channel, reference, or math waveform, press the corresponding
key.
● Tap the signal icon.
Note: Zoom waveforms in zoom diagrams cannot be selected.
