Using the OScope 

8-2 

8.1  Introduction to the OScope 

The OScope window is very useful when setting up the APP Recorder for the first time. It allows you to 
view real-time analog signals, analog trigger status, event status, and to perform analog channel calibration. 

8.2  Viewing the OScope (Oscilloscope) Window 

*CAUTION*  

When you open the OScope window, the APP Recorder automatically 
goes offline. Also, remember to exit the OScope function when you 
are finished using it. It will not automatically shut down and the APP 
Recorder will remain offline for as long as the OScope window is 
open. 

 

To View the OScope Window 

1.

 

Do one of the following: 

 

From the 

APP Recorder

 window, from the 

File

 menu, click 

Show OScope

.  

 

From the

 APP Driver

 window, from the menu bar, click 

OScope

The APP OScope window appears. 

Figure 58: OScope Window, Analog Tab 

8.2.1  Analog Tab 

You can view DC or AC analog signals in the 

Analog

 tab (see Figure 58: OScope Window, Analog Tab).  

 

The X-axis is defined by signal frequency and the desired number of cycles to be displayed. Enter 
the number of cycles in the 

Show #Cycles

 feild. 

 

The Y-axis is determined by the 

Channel Full Scale 

setting in the Point Assignment Record, and 

the Y-scale setting in the upper right hand corner of the OScope window. For more information on 
these settings, see 

Yscale Controls
