Creating Standard Patterns
The counter dialog box lets you specify the type of pattern and the range (scope) of
data bits to apply to the pattern. See Figure 3-22. The instrument lets you create one
of four standard counter patterns as listed in Table 3-27, and inserts the pattern in
the edit area between the cursors.
Figure 3-22: Counter dialog box
Do the following steps to create a counter pattern:
1. Specify the scope and area in which you want to create the pattern.
2. Push Operation (bottom)!Counter... (pop–up). The Counter dialog box as
shown in Figure 3-22 is displayed.
3. Select a type (standard pattern) from the dialog box.
4. Specify the number of points in Points/Step in which you want to represent one
step of the standard pattern.
You may specify a value from 1 to 100 by using the general purpose knob or
numeric buttons.
