Expanding the Waveform

  In the Scaling menu click on Grow. This expands the specified waveform two times its original size in the amplitude direction.

 

OR

  Point to the right or left annotation margin and click the left mouse button. This also expands the specified waveform two times its original size in the amplitude direction.

 

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 Grow (ALT, C, G). This expands the specified waveform two times its original size in the amplitude direction.
