Configuring Measurement Properties

There are two sets of properties associated with measurements:

• Measurement panel properties -- Properties associated with the panel label
• Measurement properties -- Properties associated with the measurements that are listed in the panel

For descriptions of all measurement properties, click the Help button of the Scope Properties pane or the Measurement Properties pane.

Measurement Panel Properties

You can change the characteristics of the panel label with the Scope Editor GUI. To open this GUI, select Scope from the Edit menu, choose the Scope Properties pane, and select Measurements from the Select the scope components list box. The Scope Properties pane is shown below.

Measurement Properties

You can configure measurement properties with the Measurement Properties editor. You can open this editor two ways:

• Right-click menu -- Place the mouse cursor in the Measurements pane of interest, right-click, and select Edit Properties from the menu.
• Measurement Editor GUI -- Select Measurement from the Edit menu, and then choose the Measurement Properties pane.

For this example, use the Measurement Editor GUI to change the number of measurements stored for CH1 to be identical to the number of samples acquired for each trigger. The steps are

1. Select CH0 - Pk2Pk in the Select the measurements list box.
2. Edit the BufferSize property to be 1000.

The Measurement Properties pane is shown below.
