2.5.1 Main Panel
The main menu bar of the WaveVision 5 software has several control buttons as shown in Figures 4 and 5, which
may be used to perform most tasks with a button click.
1 - Load Plot
A new plot window is created and the Plot Load dialog is displayed. The selected plot file is loaded into the new
window.
2 - Import Data
Clicking this button creates a new time-domain plot and opens the Import Data dialog. Data may be imported from
WaveVision 4 data files as well as from ASCII data files created by other programs.
3 - Create a New Time Domain Plot
Clicking this button creates a new time-domain plot. The plot will contain no data, but is available as a data
destination.
4 - Create a New Hardware Histogram Plot
Clicking this button creates a new hardware histogram plot. Hardware histograms are available only in conjunction
with evaluation boards which can gather histogram data internally. This button is enabled only when an evaluation
board which supports hardware histograms is attached.
5 - Acquire Data
Click this button to acquire data to the active plot. If you have created more than one plot, the Active plot has a
highlighted title bar.
6 - Continuous Acquisition
This button is a toggle - when it is pressed, data is acquired continuously, one buffer after another as fast as the
hardware can go; when pressed again data acquisition stops. When in continuous acquisition mode, acquisition may
be started and stopped using the Acquire button without leaving the continuous acquisition mode.
7 - FFT Averaging
This button is also a toggle - when it is pressed, FFT's are averaged. The number of buffers to be averaged is
specified in the hardware section of the Signal Sources tab.
