Setup calculation



This dialog allows to set up a new simple calculation job. It is automatically invoked when starting a new calculation either from the channel dialog or from the menu. You may see more details on calculations and a detailed explanation of all supported calculation jobs here

Selected Channels This list shows all channels that are selected to be used with this calculation. This list is automatically filled when starting the calculation directly from the channel dialog window. The selected figure is calculated for each channel in this list and shown separately in the info window.
Select Channels This button switches the list of source channels to a list of all channels that are valid as input for this calculation. Use this list to add/remove channels from the list of source channels.
Cross level This setting is only available for cycle based calculations. It defines the cross levels that are used to detect zero, high and low levels of the signal. Some calculations also use a hysteresis value which can also be defined here. The cross levels can either be defined relative or absolute using the cross level setup.
Averaging The calculated figure may be averaged to get of rid of spurious components. By selecting an averaging factor higher than one the selected number of calculated results is averaged.
Calculation Area Select the part of the signal that should be used for calculation of this figure:

Complete takes all samples of the signal from the first to the last acquired sample. The calculation result is updated when doing a new acquisition.

Current view runs the calculation across all samples of the signal that are currently visible in the selected display window. If the signal is moved inside the display or the zoom factor is changed the result will be re-calculated.

Cursor only uses samples that are between cursor B and cursor A in the selected display window. The result is updated as soon as the cursors are moved.

Source Display defines the display whose cursor/visible area will be used. This is only available if Calculation Area is set to either Current View or Cursor.
Keep in loop If this option is checked the calculation is automatically updated if the source signal has changed or the calculation area changes. If it is not checked the result is one time calculated and stays fixed afterwards.
