2.5.1 Main Panel

The main menu bar of the WaveVision 5 software has several control buttons as shown in

Figures 5 and 6, which may be used to perform most tasks with a button click.

1 - Load Plot

A new plot window is created and the Plot Load dialog is displayed. The selected plot file is

loaded into the new window.

2 - Import Data

Clicking this button creates a new time-domain plot and opens the Import Data dialog. Data may

be imported from WaveVision 4 data files as well as from ASCII data files created by other

programs.

3 - Create a New Time Domain Plot

Clicking this button creates a new time-domain plot. The plot will contain no data, but is

available as a data destination.

4 - Create a New Hardware Histogram Plot

Clicking this button creates a new hardware histogram plot. Hardware histograms are available

only in conjunction with evaluation boards which can gather histogram data internally. This

button is enabled only when an evaluation board which supports hardware histograms is

attached.

5 - Acquire Data

Click this button to acquire data to the active plot. If you have created more than one plot, the

Active plot has a highlighted title bar.

6 - Continuous Acquisition

This button is a toggle - when it is pressed, data is acquired continuously, one buffer after

another as fast as the hardware can go; when pressed again data acquisition stops. When in

continuous acquisition mode, acquisition may be started and stopped using the Acquire button

without leaving the continuous acquisition mode.

7 - FFT Averaging

This button is also a toggle - when it is pressed, FFT's are averaged. The number of buffers to

be averaged is specified in the hardware section of the Signal Sources tab.
