8.7.5 Using the Zoom Function
The zoom function allows you to change the magnification level of the signal sweep during data
review. Changing magnification levels allows you to compress or expand multiple screens of data
to quickly find glitches, or signal losses.
Example: While monitoring a MAF (Mass Air Flow Sensor) signal, the waveform displays
normally. As the signal is being monitored, an erratic “condition” suddenly develops, then goes
away, but may have not been observed on the screen. Stopping the data capture (when such
an event occurs) allows you to analyze the waveform using a higher zoom level (wider view)
to look for a glitch in the signal.
During data capture, the default magnification level is 1x. The zoom function is not available until
data capture is stopped by pressing the Stop icon (Figure 8-37).
