Using Masks, Histograms, and Waveform Databases
3- 162 CSA8000B & TDS8000B User Manual
To assign a waveform to one of the four waveform databases of the instrument,
use the procedure that follows:
Overview To set up a waveform database Related control elements & resources
Prerequisites 1. The instrument must have a waveform displayed to enable
the waveform database controls.
See page 3--62 for information on displaying
waveforms.
Open the Wfm
Database Setup
dialog box
2. Open the Waveform Database dialog box by selecting
Wfm Database in the Setup menu.

3. Use the Source pulldown list to select a waveform source
for the waveform database. By default, the first available
waveform is used as the waveform source unless you
select a different source.
4. Check On to begin accumulating into the waveform
database.
5. Check Display to turn on the display of the waveform
database. Uncheck this box to display the vector waveform
selected as the source for the database.
6. Click the Clear Data button to clear the data accumulated
in the selected database. If the database is turned on, the
data is cleared and data accumulation starts over.
NOTE. An alternative method of turning on a waveform
database for the selected waveform is by clicking the
waveform database button in the toolbar. See right.
See Figures 3--29 and 3--30 on next page to see what
both normal and waveform database waveform data
look like on the graticule.
