Navigation and search
Finding your event of interest in a long waveform record can be time
consuming without the right search tools. With today's record lengths of
many millions of data points, locating your event can mean scrolling
through literally thousands of screens of signal activity.
The 4 Series MSO offers the industry's most comprehensive search and
waveform navigation with its innovative Wave Inspector
®
controls. 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. Or, use intuitive drag and pinch/expand gestures on
the display itself to investigate areas of interest in a long record.
The Search feature 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
Previous ( ← ) and Next ( → ) buttons found on the front panel or on the
Search badge on the display. Search types include edge, pulse width,
timeout, runt, window, logic, setup and hold, rise/fall time and parallel/serial
bus packet content. You can define as many unique searches as you like.
You can also quickly jump to the minimum and maximum value of search
results by using the Min and Max buttons on the Search badge.
Earlier, FastAcq revealed the presence of a runt pulse in a digital data stream prompting further investigation. In this acquisition, Search 1 reveals that there are six runt pulses in the
acquisition.
