Views menu

Location:

Menu bar > Views, or right-click on a

view

Purpose:

controls the layout of the current view,

which is a rectangular area of the

PicoScope window that display scope,

spectrum or other kinds of data

The contents of the Views menu may vary depending

on where you click and how many views are open. If

the current view contains a Measurements table, a

combined Measurements menu and Views menu will

appear.

Add View: Add a view of the selected type

(scope, XY or spectrum). In

automatic grid layout mode (the

default), PicoScope rearranges the

grid to make room for the new

view, up to a limit of four views.

Any further views will be added as

tabs in existing viewports. If you

have selected a fixed grid layout,

PicoScope will not change it.

Sub View: (Mixed signal oscilloscopes only)

Switch the analog view and digital

view on and off independently.

Rename View: Change the standard 'Scope' or 'Spectrum' label to a title of

your choice.

Close View: Remove a view from the PicoScope window. In automatic

grid layout mode (the default), PicoScope rearranges the grid

to make the best use of the remaining space. In fixed grid

layout mode (if you have selected a grid fixed layout),

PicoScope will not change the grid.

Channels: Select which channels are visible in the current view. Each

view, when created, shows all the input channels, but you

can switch them on and off using this command. Only the

input channels that are enabled (not set to "Off" in the

Channel Setup Toolbar) are available for viewing. The

Channels menu also list math channels and reference

waveforms. You can select up to 8 channels in any view.

X-Axis: Select any suitable channel to drive the X axis. By default,

the X axis represents time. If you select an input channel

instead, the scope view will become an XY view that plots

one input against another. A quicker way to create an XY

view is to use the Add View command (see above).
