Part 4: WaveView Measurement Tools and Features The measurement tool in the WaveView window provides many methods for measuring the waveforms. Here is a list of several features and measurements you can do in WaveView: Zooming In and Out: To zoom in on your waveform, click to do a vertical or horizontal zoom by dragging a box over the waveform with the mouse. Click to unzoom. Also you can press X for a full unzoom of the waveform. Grouping and Ungrouping Signals: First off, it is handy to know how to group and ungroup waveforms in WaveView. See figure 30 for ungrouping waveforms and see figure 31 for grouping waveforms. Figure 30: Ungrouping Waveforms San Francisco State University Nano‐electronics and Computing Research Lab 30
Figure 31: Grouping Waveforms Delay Measurements of Vin and Vout at 50% to 50%: To measure delay between the input and output signals of the inverter at 50% select the tran tab in the bottom left hand corner of the WaveView window. Group the Vout and Vin waveforms together so the two waves overlap each other (see figure 31 on how to group signals). Open the measurement tool by going to Tools Measurement… or by clicking in the WaveView window. Click the All tab in the measurement tool window and fill out the options as shown below in figure 32. Click Ok when done. San Francisco State University Nano‐electronics and Computing Research Lab 31
