5.16Windows, views and viewports

PicoScope's display area contains one or more capture windows 9 . Each one corresponds to a block of data captured from a scope device 68. The simplest case is a single scope device that produces a single capture, with the result shown in a single capture window.

A capture window contains one or more views 14. When you first open a capture window, it contains a single view. You can zoom and pan 58 this to show various different waveforms based on the data that the scope device captured. If you wish, you can add more views to a capture window (how?). Each view is a differently zoomed and panned section of the same capture.

Multiple views in a capture window are always arranged in a grid. Each location in the grid is called a viewport, and can be empty or occupied by one or more views.

Upgrading from PicoScope 5

PicoScope 5 allowed you to have multiple scope views. PicoScope 6.0 retains this ability, although it calls them capture windows. 9 The views 14 feature is new to PicoScope 6.0.
