WaveSurfer 3000/3000z Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual
Preferences Dialogs
Preference settings have mostly to do with the appearance and performance of the instrument itself,
rather than its interaction with other devices/systems. These settings are also called "non-volatile,"
because they are not lost and do not change when the oscilloscope is restarted or a setup panel is
recalled.
Access the Preferences dialogs by choosing Utilities > Preference Setup... from the menu bar.
Power on AC will turn on the oscilloscope and launch the software as soon as you connect to AC power,
without having to first press the Power button.
Audible Feedback controls the instrument's audio output. Select this box to hear a beep each time you
touch a screen or front panel control.
Language sets the language used on the touch screen display.
Font Size changes the size of the text that appears on the touch screen display.
Performance settings let you optimize performance for either Analysis (speed of acquisition and
calculation) or Display (speed of update/refresh). For example, if you are concerned with persistence or
averaging, you might optimize for Analysis, giving higher priority to waveform acquisition at the expense of
display update rate. Choices are presented as a spectrum.
