Bus Pattern Mode
Bus Pattern Mode (only on Mixed Signal models) is used for finding 2- to 16-bit patterns across the digital
lines. Bus Pattern Mode settings are:
l Viewing. Choose to enter the pattern as Binary or Hex(adecimal).
l Binary/Hex. Enter the pattern.
l Num. Patterns to detect. Enter a whole number.
Scan Views
Scan Views are different ways to view your WaveScan results. Just check the boxes at the bottom of the
WaveScan dialog for those views you wish to display simultaneously.
Additional controls for Zoom view are on the Zn dialog. If you turn on a zoom from that dialog, you must
turn it off from there, too.
Source Trace
By default, the source trace is displayed in the top grid, with markers indicating points that meet the
search criteria.
Table
Table view displays a table of measurements relevant to your chosen Search Mode next to the source
trace. Times view adds columns to the table showing Start and Stop Times for each event.
Zoom
Zoom view works exactly as it does elsewhere in the X-Stream software, creating a new trace that is a
magnified section of the source trace. A Zn tab appears by default when you launch WaveScan; see zoom
factor controls for an explanation of the remainder of the controls found on this dialog.
WaveScan Search
Search is used to find events in traces—usually zoom (Zn) traces—that match user-defined criteria. To
search within WaveScan:
1. Select the Zoom view.
2. After stopping the acquisition, open the WScanZ1 dialog that appears behind the WaveScan dialog.
3. Use the Prev and Next buttons to move back or forward within the trace to the events that
matched your Scan Modes criteria.
Or
If you know the WaveScan table index (row) number of the event you wish to find, enter it in Idx.
