Creating Standard Patterns
The counter dialog box lets you specify the type of pattern and the range (scope)
of data bits to apply to the pattern. See Figure 3–18. The instrument lets you
create one of four standard counter patterns as listed in Table 3–27, and inserts
the pattern in the edit area between the cursors.
