Measurements

This topic describes the Measurements resource panel.

Add

Opens a Closeddrop-down window where you can select from the following measurement types. Once you select a format, it initializes and appears as an available selection in the resource panel.

The software can also automatically synchronize measurement types with the signal formats you select. From the menu bar, go to Tools > User Preferences > Automatic Measurements.

Delete

Deletes the currently selected measurement type from the resource panel.

Save

Opens a file management window where you can save the selected measurement type, including its unique configuration, to a file (.kso-meas). Use Recall to load your saved measurement configuration.

When you save a signal, you should also save the corresponding measurement to manually recall with the signal since the Automatic Measurements User Preference setting does not apply to saved and recalled signals and measurements.

Recall

Opens a file management window where you can load a previously saved measurement. This adds a fully configured copy of the saved signal to the current set of measurements in the resource panel.

When you add previously saved signals using Recall, you must manually Add or Recall a corresponding measurement. The Automatic Measurements User Preference setting does not apply to saved and recalled signals and measurements.

Advanced

Displays a property grid with a complete set of parameters for the currently selected resource. It differs from the Favorite Settings property grid, which displays a limited set of parameters. The left side of this property grid serves as navigational tree between various groups of parameters while the right side displays the specific settings associated with the selected group. You can also mark the check boxes to determine which settings appear in Favorites. Clicking the Advanced button again hides the property grid.

Signal Coupling

When enabled (default state), this parameter conveniently couples the measurement definition to the Selected Signal. Coupled parameters may update when Download All Signals or Run Acquisition executed. This parameter is available under Advanced for all measurement types. It does not appear under Favorites unless manually added.

Selected Signal

Select the signal definition to be applied when Signal Coupling is enabled. This parameter is available under Advanced for all measurement types. It does not appear under Favorites unless manually added.
