Buffer Navigation toolbar

The Buffer Navigation toolbar allows you to select a waveform from the waveform

buffer.

What is the waveform buffer?

Depending on the settings you have chosen, PicoScope may store more than one

waveform in its waveform buffer. When you click the Start button or change a

capture setting , PicoScope clears the buffer and then adds a new waveform to it

each time the scope device captures data. This continues until the buffer is full or you

click the Stop button. You can limit the number of waveforms in the buffer to a

number between 1 and 10,000 using the General preferences page.

You can review the waveforms stored in the buffer using these buttons:

First waveform button. Display waveform 1.

Previous waveform button. Display the previous waveform in the

buffer.

Waveform number indicator. Show which waveform is currently

displayed, and how many waveforms the buffer holds. You can edit the

number in the box and press Enter, and PicoScope will jump to the

specified waveform.

Next waveform button. Display the next waveform in the buffer.

Last waveform button. Display the last waveform in the buffer.

Buffer Navigator button. Open the Buffer Navigator window for

quick selection of buffer waveforms.
