Using Pro-Motion
3.4 Scope Window
The Pro-Motion oscilloscope window displays trace data from the motion processor’s hardware trace buffer in a
flexible graphical format. The scope window’s features include:
„ Virtual buffering of trace data, allowing for display of traces many times longer than the
hardware trace buffer.
„ Interactive zooming and scrolling of the trace data display.
„ Interactive probing of individual data samples.
„ Separated and overlaid trace display modes.
„ Save/restore of scope window data.
„ Printing and exporting of scope window data.
3.4.1 Scope Control Bar
On the scope control bar (just below the scope display window) are the following controls.

Description
Activates oscilloscope trace. When trace is active, this button changes to read stop
trace and clicking it deactivates the running trace.
Displays the scope settings window. When the settings window is showing, this button
changes to read hide settings and clicking it hides the settings window.
Selecting this checkbox changes the graph display to overlay the individual scope traces.
This can be useful for closely comparing related variables. In overlay mode, it is often
helpful to use the checkboxes in the legend box at the top of the scope display to disable
unneeded traces.
These buttons control the zoom level of the trace display. Clicking + displays more
samples in the trace window; clicking – shows fewer samples. The current zoom level is
displayed on the zoom level indicator in terms of the selected time units. Clicking the
zoom level indicator resets the zoom level to the scope default.
Activates the data sample highlighting feature or the scope. This feature is most useful at
high zoom levels, allowing the motion engineer to differentiate between trace data points
and interpolated display values.
This dropdown list controls the units displayed along the time (bottom) axis of the scope
display. Note that changes to this setting only take effect upon the next trace start.
