Adjusting the Signal List

The signal list on the right side of the oscilloscope shows the signal information, e.g. signal names and optionally meta information (i.e. ECU, device, unit, raster) and cursor values.

You can perform the following actions:

• To show or hide the signal list
• To define the appearance of the signal list
• To show or hide columns
• To reorder columns
• To position signals in the signal list
• To change the number of decimals

To show or hide the signal list

To see how you can use strips and define the signals list settings of the oscilloscope, watch our video Oscilloscope - Defining Strips and Signal List.

Use the tab Instrument in the Properties window.

To define the appearance of the signal list

1. Do one of the following:
   • To show all columns of the signal list, you can adjust the width of the signal list by double-clicking on the border between the graph and the signal list.
   • To show the full content of a column in the signal list, you can adjust the width of the column by double-clicking on the splitter between the current column and the next column on the right side.

To show or hide columns

1. Use the tab Instrument in the Properties window.

2. In the Signal List Columns, click .
3. To show or hide a column, select or clear the checkbox of the respective column name in the list.

To reorder columns

1. Move a column by dragging its column header to the new position within the table header.

   A line between the columns appears to indicate the new position.

2. Release the mouse button.

To position signals in the signal list

1. Do one of the following:
   • To sort the signals in ascending order per column, click one of the column headers in the signal list. If you click the same column header again, the signals are sorted in descending order.
   • To move one or more signals to a specific position in the signal list, drag and drop the selected signals to this position. The new position is indicated by a blue line. When ordering the signals manually, the sorting mechanism gets inactive.

To know how you can copy the signal name and other meta information to other applications, see Reusing the Signal Name in Other Applications.

To change the number of decimals

1. In the signal list, select one or more signals (except enumerations or Boolean signals).
2. In the toolbar, click one of the following icons:
   • To show more decimal places, click .
   • To show fewer decimal places, click .

   The number of decimals is adapted accordingly for all cursor values in the signal list. The cursor values are also adapted within the cursor's tooltips.
