32 Infiniium Z-Series Oscilloscopes User’s Guide
2 Using the Oscilloscope
User Interface Overview
With the user interface for the Infiniium oscilloscope, you can access all the
configuration and measurement features of the oscilloscope through an
easy-to-use system of windows, menus, toolbars, dialog boxes, icons, wizards,
and buttons.
The user interface is arranged so the most common functions affecting the
waveform display are located around the edge of the waveform display area.
Context-sensitive menus are available when you right-click something in the
waveform display area, such as the graticule, a signal, a bookmark, or a
measurement. You can mouse over or touch other areas, such as the drag & drop
measurements area and horizontal and acquisition control regions, to find more
information about those areas or to enter data.
The following figures call out the areas and controls of the user interface.
