Function

Allows the cursor to be released from its default position of screen-center. When released, it may be horizontally positioned anywhere on the screen while the displayed waveforms remain stationary.

Activating Procedure

This function applies mostly to those who are running WinDaq Waveform Browser software without a mouse.

   Pressing the SCROLL LOCK key will free the cursor and allow you to horizontally position it anywhere on the screen using the ← and → cursor control keys. When the cursor is in its free state and if your computer's keyboard provides an indicator light for SCROLL LOCK, the light will be off. The light will be on when the cursor is in its locked state. The cursor state will toggle each time the SCROLL LOCK key is pressed.

Special Considerations

The asterisk key (*) may be used to center the cursor in the waveform display window. If SCROLL LOCK is off when the * key is pressed, the cursor alone moves to screen-center while waveforms remain stationary. If SCROLL LOCK is on when the * key is pressed, cursor and waveforms scroll to screen-center together.

Example

(Assumes the cursor is initially in its default, locked state)
