Contracting the Waveform

 Click the Shrink Waveform button in the Toolbox.

 In the Scaling menu click on Shrink. This contracts the specified waveform one-half its original size in the amplitude direction.

                                               OR

           Point to the right or left annotation margin and click the right mouse button. This also contracts the specified waveform one-half its original size.

                                               OR

           Drag in the waveform strip area to draw a selection rectangle. The selection rectangle is used to contract the waveform to a specific size in the amplitude direction (within the limits defined by the A/D converter). The top and bottom edges (or the “vertical limits”) of the selection rectangle will dictate the amount of waveform contraction. Then click the right mouse button in the right or left annotation margin. The waveform in the strip will be shrunk to fit within the “vertical limits” of the selection rectangle.

  Choose Scaling Shrink (ALT, C, S). This contracts the specified waveform one-half its original size in the amplitude direction.

 +  Select the waveform using the left or right annotation margin. Hold the CTRL key down and use the mouse wheel to expand/contract the waveform.
