Selection wheel
Circle with different segments, which appears in drag and drop situ-
ations and allows to select one of various options, for example axis
assignments when dropping signals in the oscilloscope.
Signal
Measure variable including the measured data (samples); usually
stored in a measure file.
Signal curve
Line in the oscilloscope displaying the course of sample values.
Signal list
List of signals that are assigned to an oscilloscope (later on maybe
also for other instruments). The signal list is a separate widget show-
ing signal values (e.g. values at the cursors) and some meta inform-
ation. It can also be used for showing/hiding the signal.
Statistical Data
Instrument type displaying the statistical properties of numeric sig-
nals (e.g. average, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation)
String signal
String signal is, for example, a user comment during recording.
Strip
Part within an oscilloscope which its own y axes and signal assign-
ment. All strips of an oscilloscope share the same x axis.
Synchronization cursor
Indicator used for marking the common timestamp when syn-
chronizing different instruments.
T
Table
Instrument type that is used to inspect the precise value of a signal
for a specific time stamp.
Time Axis
Horizontal scale in the coordinate system of an oscilloscope in yt rep-
resentation which is used to determine the value of a point in the
dimension of time.
Time Offset
View used for aligning data from different measure files with regard
to time.
