Abstract
A signal waveform is displayed on a display. In response to a user using a pointing device to select a location on the display, values for a selected parameter of the displayed signal waveform are adjusted based on locations on the display selected by the user using the pointing device.
Claims17
An electronic instrument comprising:
- a display that displays a signal waveform, the signal waveform being from a signal detected by the electronic instrument and that displays a menu that shows a plurality of parameters for the displayed signal waveform;
- a pointing device that allows a user to select locations on the display;
- and,
- logic within the electronic instrument that allows selection of a parameter from the plurality of parameters and that adjusts values for the parameter selected from the plurality of parameters, adjustment being made based on locations on the display selected after selection of the parameter, wherein the locations are selected by the user using the pointing device.
