Datasheet
Wave Inspector controls provide unprecedented efficiency in viewing, navigating, and
analyzing waveform data. Zip through your 1 Mpoint record by turning the outer pan
control (1). Get from the beginning to end in seconds. See something of interest and want
to see more details? Just turn the inner zoom control (2).

®
Navigation and Search
A 1 Mpoint record length represents thousands of screens of information.
The MSO/DPO2000B Series enables you to find your event in seconds with
Wave Inspe
ctor, the industry’s best tool for navigation and search.
Wave Inspector offers the following innovative con trols:
Zoom/Pan
A de dicated, two-tier front-panel control provides intuitive control of both
zooming and panning. The inner con trol adjusts the zoom factor (or zoom
scale); t
urning it clockwise activates zoom and goes to p rogressively higher
zoom factors, while turn ing it counterclockwise results in lower z oom factors
and eventually turning zoom off. No longer do you need to navigate through
multiple menus to adjust your zoom view. The outer control pans the zoom
box across the waveform to quickly get to the portion of waveform you are
interested in. The oute r control also utilizes force-feedback to determine
how fast t
o pan on the waveform. The farther you turn the outer control, the
faster the zoom box moves. Pan direction is changed by s im ply turning the
control the other way.
Play/Pause
A dedicated Play/Pause front-panel button scrolls the waveform across the
display autom atically while you look for anomalies or an event of interest.
Playback speed and direction are controlled using the intuitive pan control.
Once again, turning the co ntrol further makes the waveform scroll faster and
changing direction is as simple as turning the control the other way.
Search step 1: You define what you would like to find.
Search step 2: Wave Inspector automatically searches through the record and m arks each
event with a hollow white triangle. You can then use the Previous and Next buttons to
jump from one event to the next.
User Marks
Press the Set Mark front-panel button to place one or more marks on
the waveform. Navigating between marks is as simple as pressing the
Previous ( ←)andNext (→) buttons on the front panel.
Search Marks
The Searc
h button allows you to automatically search through your long
acquisition looking for user-defined events. All occurrences of the event
are highlighted with search marks and are easily navigated to, using the
front-panel Previous (←) and Next (→) b uttons. Search types include
edge, pulse width/glitch, runt, logic, setup and hold, rise/fall time parallel
bus, and I
