Configuring Channel Properties

There are two sets of properties associated with the Channel Scaling panel:

• Channel panel properties -- Properties associated with the controls and labels that make up the panel
• Channel properties -- Properties associated with the hardware, math, and reference channels that are listed in the panel

For descriptions of all channel properties, click the Help button of the appropriate GUI editor.

Channel Panel Properties

You can change the characteristics of the controls and labels that make up the panel with the Scope Editor GUI. To open this GUI, select Scope from the Edit menu, choose the Scope Properties pane, and select Channel Scaling from the Select scope components list box. The Scope Properties pane is shown below.

Channel Properties

You can change the characteristics of the hardware, math, and reference channels that are listed in the panel by configuring their channel properties. You can access the channel properties these two ways:

• Property Inspector -- Place the mouse cursor in the Channel Scaling panel, right-click, and select Edit Properties from the menu.
• Channel Editor GUI -- Select Channel from the Edit menu, and then choose the Channel Properties pane.

For this example, use the Channel Editor GUI to modify the marker characteristics for both CH0 and CH1. The steps are

1. Select both hardware channels from the Select the channels list box.
2. Specify a circular symbol for the Marker property, and specify an interval of 4 for the MarkerInterval property.

The Channel Properties pane is shown below.
