A Lower boundary limit is created from the original waveform by applying a: . Rise Right shift over the specified Right-shift value. . Fall Left shift over the specified Left-shift value. . Offset Down shift over the specified Down-shift value. �Y Scale ExplanationnThe Y scale is considered to be the voltage that complies with one division of the full graph's Y scale (not zoomed-in). Since the number of Y divisions is fixed at 10, the specified Y scale determines the voltage span (Vspan) that corresponds to the full (0 to 100%) graph height: Vspan = 10 * Yscale Assigning a scale to a waveform does not change the shape or size of the displayed waveform, but changes the voltage values associated with the Y scale. Note: A magnify factor has the same effect on waveform dimensions as changing the voltage scale. The difference between scaling and magnifying is that when the voltage scale is modified, the shape of the waveform is not altered, but the voltage values associated with the Y axis scale are altered. When magnified, the scale values do not change, but the size of the waveform changes. �Y At 50% ExplanationThe Y At 50% is the voltage level of a point that is positioned at 50% of the Y axis scale of the Graph's full screen (not zoomed-in).  100%Y_At_50%+Vspan/2 50% Vspan=10xYsc Vrange 0%Y_At_50%-Vspan/2 Y_At_50%  | ------------------------------------------0 volt level Note: Up/down shifting of the waveform has the same effect on the waveform dimensions as changing the offset. The difference between offset and shifting is that when offset is modified, the position of the waveform in the graph is not altered, but the voltage values associated with the Y axis scale are altered. When shifted, the voltage scale does not change, but the position of the waveform within the graph changes. �Y Resolution Explanation|�The Y Resolution is expressed in points per division, i.e., the number of different voltage levels within one Y-division. �X Scale Explanation The X scale (Xsc) is the time period that corresponds with one screen division of the X scale of the graph and is expressed in seconds/division. Xsc determines the period Tfs that corresponds to the 0 to 100% screen width of the graph: Tfs = Nr_of_Divisions * Xsc When no X At 0% is specified, a newly created waveform is positioned left until it is at 0% X scale. The waveform size (Xsize = Sn - S1 + 1) is the total number of samples of the complete waveform including the part that is not shown in the graph. Tfs S1 Sn |||| |||| |||| |||| |||| |||| |||| |||| |||| |||| |||| |||| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| |||| 0% | | || 100% | | ---  | | | Xsc Tres | | |------------------------Tepoch-----------------------| The total time (Tepoch) and size (Xsize) of the complete waveform are coupled to the X scale (Xsc) and to the number of samples per division (Xres) using the expression: Tepoch = (Xsize * Xsc) / Xres with: Tepoch = total waveform time ( 10 divisions) Xsize = size of the waveform (total number of samples) Xres = number of samples per division Xsc = time period of 1 division (s/div) Changing Xsc does not change the Xsize, or the number of samples per division Xres, but changes the total time Tepoch. Changing the Xsize does not change the time period Xsc, or the total waveform time Tepoch, but changes the number of samples per division Xres. The sample rate Srate is determined from the number of samples per division Xres using the expression: Srate = Xres / Xsc [samples/second] The sample interval time Tres is the inverse value of the sample rate: Tres = 1/Srate = Xsc / Xres �X At 0% ExplanationxThe X At 0% (delay) is the time duration between a reference time and 0% of the X-axis scale of the Graph's full screen (not zoomed-in). The time duration between the reference time and a waveform point P is determined as follows: Tp = (Xp / 10) * Xsc + X_At_0% with: Xp = position of waveform point P as a percentage of the X-axis (0 through 100%) �X Resolution ExplanationThe X Resolution (Xres) is calculated from the Xsize and the number of divisions as follows: Xres = Xsize / Nr_of_Divisions [samples/division] Xres is coupled to the total time (Tepoch), size (Xsize) of the complete waveform, and to the X Scale (Xsc) using the expression: Xres = (Xsize * Xsc) / Tepoch with: Tepoch = total waveform time (>= 10 divisions)) Xsize = size of the waveform (total number of samples) Xres = number of samples per division Xsc = Time period of 1 division (s/div) The sample rate Srate is determined from the number of samples per division Xres using the expression: Srate = Xres / Xsc [samples/second] �X Size Explanation<The waveform size (Xsize) is the total number of waveform samples (points) of the complete waveform. This includes the part that is not shown in the graph. Xsize = Index(last sample) - Index(first sample) + 1 The X Resolution (Xres) is calculated from Xsize and the number of divisions as follows: Xres = Xsize / Nr_of_Divisions [samples/division] The number of graph divisions (Nr_of_Divisions) in which the waveform is displayed can be 10 or 10.24. For a new waveform the Nr_of_Divisions can be specified in the @820,"Create Waveform" dialog box. �<Options> MenuContains additional options. - @751,"Freehand draw" Selects and activates the Freehand drawing method. - @752,"Line draw" Selects and activates the Line drawing method. - @551,"Units" Changes the units of the X/Y-axis. - @552,"Connected samples" Connects (shows lines) or disconnects (shows dots) sequential waveform samples. - @46:0,"Colors..."
