Setting up Analysis

  1. In the Edit menu of the oscilloscope window, select Analysis setup.

    The Measure analysis setup window opens.

  2. In the measure cursor jump mode area, select the jump mode that is appropriate for you.

    • Jump to next time means that the cursor moves continuously from one value to the next.
    • Jump for a constant time distance of … means that the cursor moves stepwise. You can specify the step size.

      If, for instance, you set the value to 0.1, each move of the cursor will result in a jump by 0.1 seconds on the x-axis.

  3. In the time steps field below Jump distance of jumps by multiple time steps, enter a multiplier for the value in the s field.

    If, for instance, the step value is set to 0.1, and the multiplier is set to 3, the actual jump distance on the x-axis for each cursor movement will be 0.3 seconds.

  4. In the Time field below Number of Decimals, enter the number of decimals for the time values.
  5. In the Values field, enter the number of decimals for the measurement values.
  6. Click OK.

    The new settings are accepted. They will become active only when you move a measurement cursor.

If a trigger condition is active, the oscilloscope will not display any data until the trigger condition is met. Once the condition has been met, the oscilloscope will display the values as normal. Triggering only relates to the display of values in the oscilloscope, it does not influence the calculations in the experiment in any way.

You can only define a trigger if the experiment is stopped or paused.
