The innovative Wave Inspector
®
controls give you the industry’s most
comprehensive search and waveform navigation capability. These controls
speed panning and zooming through your record. With a unique force-
feedback system, you can move from one end of your record to the other in
just seconds. User marks allow you to mark any location that you may want
to reference later for further investigation. Or, automatically search your
record for criteria you define. Wave Inspector will instantly search your
entire record, including analog, digital, and serial bus data. Along the way it
will automatically mark every occurrence of your defined event so you can
quickly move between events.

Analyze
Verifying that your prototype’s performance matches simulations and meets
the project’s design goals requires analyzing its behavior. Tasks can range
from simple checks of rise times and pulse widths to sophisticated power
loss analysis and investigation of noise sources.
The oscilloscope offers a comprehensive set of integrated analysis tools
including waveform- and screen-based cursors, automated measurements,
advanced waveform math including arbitrary equation editing, FFT
analysis, and trend plots for visually determining how a measurement is
changing over time. Specialized application support for serial bus analysis,
power supply design, and video design and development is also available.
For extended analysis, National Instrument’s LabVIEW SignalExpress
®
Tektronix Edition provides over 200 built-in functions including time and
frequency domain analysis, limit testing, data logging, and customizable
reports.

navigation and search
With long record lengths, a single acquisition can include thousands of
screens of waveform data. Wave Inspector
®
, the industry’s best tool for
navigation and search, enables you to find events of interest in seconds.
Wave Inspector controls provide unprecedented efficiency in viewing, navigating, and
analyzing waveform data. Zip through your long record by turning the outer pan control
(1). Get details from the beginning to end in seconds. See something of interest and want
to see more details? Just turn the inner zoom control (2).
Zoom and pan
A dedicated, two-tier front-panel control provides intuitive control of both
zooming and panning. The inner control adjusts the zoom factor (or zoom
scale); turning it clockwise activates zoom and goes to progressively higher
zoom factors, while turning it counterclockwise results in lower zoom
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 outer control also utilizes force-feedback to
determine how fast to pan on the waveform. The farther you turn the outer
control, the faster the zoom box moves. Pan direction is changed by simply
turning the control the other way.
