Pico Macom PSW044-2.0 5.4 Capture window

PicoScope 6 User Guide

5.4 Capture window

A capture window shows a block of data captured from a single scope device .

When you first open a capture window it contains one scope view , but you can add

more views by clicking Add view in the Views menu. The screen shot below shows all

the main features of a capture window. Click on the underlined labels for more

information.

To open a new capture window

Click the capture window button in the capture window toolbar , or select

the Create New Scope Window command in the File menu. PicoScope can

display many capture windows, but only one window can be "in focus " at any time.

Any commands you issue — by clicking on buttons, for example — will affect only this

window. To bring a window into focus, just click on it.

To arrange the scope views within the capture window

If the capture window contains more than one scope view , then PicoScope will

arrange them in a grid. This is laid out automatically, but you can customize it if you

wish. Each location in the grid is called a viewport . You can move a view to a

different viewport by dragging its name tab (show me ), but you cannot move it

outside the capture window that it belongs to. You can also put more than one view in

a viewport, by dragging a view and dropping it on top of another.

For further options, right-click on a view to obtain the View menu, or select View from

the Menu bar , then select one of the menu options to arrange the views.
