The appearance of the scope view is configured in the Properties dialog.

Buffering

The scope view offers a user-defined memory size which is indicated in the field “Memory length” in milliseconds. This determines how many samples are buffered for all of the signals in the view. The length is limited, depending on the time bases of the signals currently used in the view. So, by adding a new signal, the memory length might change.

Miscellaneous

By setting check marks, the listed objects (toolbars, grid lines, overview, base and value markers) will be displayed or hidden in the scope view.

Markers can be switched on/off in the toolbar as well.

Appearance

Here, the colors of the display and font style is defined.

In the X-Y display mode, the scope view allows to use a graphic file as background image. In order to enable/disable the image display, check/uncheck the "X-Y chart image" checkbox.

Enter the path and file name of the graphic file in the corresponding field or use the browser button to select the file.

The "Map to range" option permits to define size and position of the image in the background. By specifying the coordinates x1/y1 and x2/y2, you can map the 4 corners of the image with regard to the X/Y scales in the view.

If the "Map to range" option is disabled, the background image will always be scaled to the size of the scope view.

Example:

A field of characteristic curves (image) as a background for the measured data.
