Contracting the Waveform

  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 to one-half of its original size.

 

OR

  Drag in the waveform strip area to draw a selection rectangle. The selection rectangle is used to expand or 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 expansion/contraction. Click the left mouse button in the right or left annotation margin. The waveform will be expanded to full strip size with the “vertical selection rectangle limits” now defining the ±full scale values for the waveform. See also Drawing a Selection Rectangle and the Scaling a Waveform Demo.

 

 

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