DAQ Progress Bar/Context Menu

DAQ Progress Bar

A DAQ progress bar will be displayed on the lower left corner of the Oscilloscope view under either of the following conditions:

• The Oscilloscope is started in none Record mode and the specified trigger condition has not been met for 5 seconds.
• The Oscilloscope is started in Record mode.

Black color is used to fill up the progress bar when no trigger event has been found, the time elapsed since the start of the Oscilloscope will be displayed. The progress bar will resets and changes to green color after a trigger event is found in the returned DAQ buffer, the time elapsed since then will be displayed. The DAQ progress bar will be hidden again after a frame of data is collected, analyzed and displayed.

Context Menu

The above context menu will be shown when right clicking anywhere within the oscilloscope view. It provides additional convenience to you. All menu items in the context menu can also be found in the main menu of the Oscilloscope, except the following two items:

• Copy As Bitmap: It is similar to the Oscilloscope Export (as Bitmap) function. Instead of saving the bitmap image of the oscilloscope view to the hard disk, it copies the image to the clipboard which can be subsequently pasted out into other programs such as Microsoft Word.
• Copy As Text: It is similar to the Oscilloscope Export (as Text) function. Instead of saving the texts of the oscilloscope data to the hard disk, it copies the data to the clipboard which can be subsequently pasted out into other programs such as Microsoft Excel. Note the data in the clipboard is Tab separated instead of comma separated.
