To do the Zoom/Pan, do the following steps:

1. If more than one window is open, select the source waveform as follows:

Push Window (bottom)!Window1, Window2, or Window3 (side).

2. Push the Zoom/Pan bottom button to display the side menu.

3. Use the Direction side button to set the direction of zoom/pan.

4. Move the cursor to the center of zoom to perform horizontal zoom. When the 

Pan button is held down, the general purpose knob is already assigned to the 
pan function. To move the cursor using the general purpose knob, push the 
TOGGLE button to assign the cursor movement to the knob.

5. Push the Zoom In or Zoom Out side button to cause the waveform to expand 

or shrink.

If the desired portion of the waveform went outside the window as a result of zoom, 
move the waveform by using the Direction side button and the general purpose 
knob. For waveforms with extremely large amplitude or a large offset value, use 
the Pan function to bring it in the window.

6. Push the Zoom Fit side button to reset the expansion/shrinkage that is in the 

direction specified with Direction.

7. Push the CLEAR MENU or any other bottom button to terminate zoom/pan.

The Window menu displays a side menu that lets you select which edit window is 
active. Simply push the side button of the window you want to make active.

There are a number of waveform parameters, including the number of data points 
in the waveform (data record length), the clock frequency, display mode, and 
horizontal units, that you can define. Although the instrument had default values 
for these parameters, you should set these to your own waveform requirements. 
You can use the Settings dialog box to set these parameters. To display the Settings 
dialog box, push the Settings bottom button. Figure 3-16 shows the Settings dialog 
box.

Push File (bottom)!Open (pop–up) to load a file into a second or third edit
