NOTE. These settings are the same in all display formats (graphic, timing and table).

In the following section, each of these items will be discussed in detail.

Selecting the Waveform Data Display Format. The View type... item allows you to set the display format for the waveform data. There are three choices: graphic, timing and table. The following diagram shows the menu configuration.

When you open the waveform editor, Graphic display is selected as the default option. If you want to change the display format, select Setting from the bottom menu and then View type from the side menu, then select the desired format (Timing or Table) from the sub-menu. Pressing the Go Back button cancels the operation and causes the side menu to reappear. See page 3 -96 for a discussion of timing display and page 3 -129 for a discussion of table display.

Setting Waveform Point Count. Waveform Points sets the number of points for waveform data. The following diagram shows the menu configuration.

The following formula is used to derive the number of points per period for the waveform to be created:

For example, for output of a 20 kHz sine wave, setting the clock frequency to 20 MHz will result in a waveform point value of 20 MHz / 20 kHz = 1000 points.
