DI-770 and WINDAQ/Scope Manual
Arrow point shape
The arrow point can have different shapes: no point at all, a square, a circle, a triangle and an arrow. When no point is
selected, only a line from the comment label to the end point of the arrow is drawn. When the arrow point is selected,
a triangle is drawn that is always pointing away from the comment label. When Draw arrow is switched off, this item
is not available.
Comment colors
With this choice the foreground color and the background color of the comment label and the arrow can be selected.
The foreground color is used for the line around the comment label, for the text, for the arrow and for the line around
the arrow point. The background color is used to fill the comment label and the arrow point.
Deleting a comment label
To delete a comment label, place the mouse cursor on the comment label to delete and press the right mouse button. A
menu will pop up. Select the Delete comment item to delete the comment label.
Make a hard copy print out
To save a measurement on paper, a WYSIWYG hardcopy utility is added.
The printout contains all active signals with the settings at the moment of activating the hardcopy function. All relevant
information about the signals (sensitivity, offsets, gains, sampling frequency, record length etc.) are placed
around the signal display.
A record view indicator is placed in the upper right corner of the printout, indicating which part of the measured
record is displayed, where the trigger point is located and where the cursors are located in the record (if switched on).
If cursors are switched on, the cursors are drawn (when in the display) and a table with the cursor readout is drawn.
If comment labels are placed, they are printed in the same way as they appear on the screen.
The hardcopy can be activated in three ways: using the key combination , using the print button (
by entering the File menu and selecting the Print... item.
) or
A print dialog appears in which the current selected printer is indicated. To change the selected printer or the settings
of the selected printer, press the Setup button. A new dialog appears in which another printer can be selected or the
settings of the current printer can be changed.
Note: In theory all paper sizes are supported, but envelope paper sizes will give unusable results. Selecting landscape
or portrait has no use, since the hardcopy function forces landscape.
When the correct printer is selected and all settings are made, press the OK button to leave the dialog. Press the Cancel
button to leave the dialog without changes.
The check box Color print out determines whether a color printout is made or a black and white printout is made.
When this box is checked and the printer supports colors, a color printout is made. If the printer does not support colors,
different shades of gray are created (by the windows printer driver). If the box is not checked, only black is used.
To start printing now, press the Print button. A dialog appears, indicating that the hardcopy is generated and sent to
the printer.
Ending the program
With the right most button in the instrument taskbar the application can be terminated. The application settings and
instrument window positions are saved on disk.
