5.11Scope view

A scope view is one view of the data belonging to a capture window 9 . Each capture window opens with a single view, but you can add more views by using the views menu. Similar to the screen of a conventional oscilloscope, a scope view shows you one or more waveforms with a common time axis. A waveform is a diagram of signal level on a vertical axis plotted against time on the horizontal axis. Each view can have as many waveforms as the scope device has channels.
