M1 Oscilloscope Tools™: Scope Animation
Our animation feature
makes post-analysis feel like live-analysis. What we've done is
recreated the 'dancing' signals you see from a live scope. It cycles
back through the previous acquisitions and recreates the actual
movement that you saw while taking the acquisitions. Now there is a
visual aid to help you see what has happened prior to the current
acquisition you are looking at.
"One
of the problems that post processing software has always had is that it
looks at each acquisition as a whole. This, of course, has a lot of
utility for various kinds of analysis, especially if you have a good
set of exploratory tools that allow you to easily navigate over the
surface of the analysis. In my own debug work I have always used this
post processing in conjunction with an active scope display because
sometimes the dynamics of the way the voltage versus time display
presents provides additional insight into things I am trying to
understand in a versus time display. So while scope animation is
redundant if you're using M1 at the oscilloscope, one of the greatest
features of the M1 portfolio is that it allows you to see what happened
at the oscilloscope when you and your collaborators are away from the
oscilloscope."
