Zoom mode and Searches
Use Zoom and Searches to find events of interest on a waveform.
Searches provide a way to mark a waveform event or events for reference. You can set marks automatically with search criteria such as
particular edges, pulse widths, runts, logic states, rise/fall times, setup and hold, and bus data types.
You can also tap a Search badge and use its navigation buttons to position the waveform to previous or next search marks.
Search tables and Zoom mode
• When you select a row in the Search Results Table, Zoom mode adjusts the position of the zoom window to place the selected search
event in the middle of the zoom window.
• If zoom was not already on, it is turned on with its previous zoom factor and the zoom window position adjusted to show the selected
search event.
For information on creating a Search, see Add a Search on page 72.
