How to Use the Touch Interface
Background
Unlike other oscilloscopes or digital
multimeters, the GDS-200 and GDS-300 Series
have no physical hardware keys, therefore
operation is completely controlled using the
capacitive touch screen. Using a capacitive
touch screen is a new interface paradigm for
DSOs; the gestures and general user interface is
easier to use and more intuitive than
traditional DSO interfaces. Before you begin to
use these instruments, we highly recommend
you take a few moments to get to know the
basic gestures and interface conventions.
Basic Gestures
There are a few basic gestures that can be used
to operate the GDS-200/GDS-300. When asked
to perform a gesture throughout the user
manual, you can refer to the gestures below.
