Setting waveform display parameters

Use waveform display controls to set the display mode, persistence, style, and intensity display parameters, and graticule style

and intensity.

Use the following topics for more information on setting display parameters.

■

Set waveform display mode (Stacked or Overlay) on page 129

■

Set the Waveform Interpolation mode on page 129

Set waveform display mode (Stacked or Overlay)

Use this procedure to change the waveform display mode (Stacked or Overlay).

1. Double-tap on an open graticule area to open the Waveform View configuration menu.

2. Tap the Display Mode buttons to toggle between Overlay and Stacked modes.

In stacked display mode, each waveform is stacked vertically in separate graticule slices. This is the default display mode.

In overlay display mode, all waveforms are displayed in a single graticule (traditional waveform view).

Set the Waveform Interpolation mode

Use this procedure to set the waveform interpolation mode, which sets how waveform data points are calculated between record

data points.

1. Double-tap on an open graticule area to open the Waveform View configuration menu.

2. Tap the buttons under Interpolation to select either Sin(x)/x or Linear.

Sin(x)/x calculates record points along a curve between the actual acquired samples. This form of interpolation is useful

when acquiring rounded waveforms such as sine waves. It is good for general-purpose uses but may introduce overshoot or

undershoot in signals with fast rise times. This interpolation is also useful for looking at high-frequency signals, especially

where the frequency components are just below the Nyquist frequency.

Linear calculates record points between actual acquired samples using a straight-line fit. This interpolation is useful for

measuring waveforms with fast rise times, such as pulse trains.
