Activating Procedure

The horizontal scroll bar controls horizontal waveform scrolling. With it, you can move from one part of the waveform file to another.

For optimum scrolling speed, ensure that the window is positioned entirely on the screen. Note that if a portion of the currently active window is hidden off screen, scrolling speed is dramatically reduced. For best scrolling speed results, position (or resize) the active window so it is contained entirely on the screen.

Clicking the left or right scroll arrow scrolls the waveform 16 pixels at a time. Clicking and holding either scroll arrow repeats the scrolling action until the beginning or end of the file is reached.

To scroll by less than 16 pixels, you must use the cursor in conjunction with the mouse. Click in the bottom annotation line and drag the data cursor to the desired point in either direction.

Clicking anywhere in the horizontal scroll bar on either side of the slider box scrolls the waveform one screen width toward the beginning or end of the data file. The left mouse button can be held down to scroll rapidly until the slider box reaches the mouse pointer.

With the data cursor turned off, pressing the ← cursor control key scrolls the waveform 16 pixels at a time in the negative time direction. With the data cursor off, pressing the → cursor control key scrolls the waveform 16 pixels at a time in the positive time direction.

With the data cursor off, pressing CTRL+PAGE UP scrolls the waveform one screen width toward the beginning of the data file. With the data cursor off, pressing CTRL+PAGE DOWN scrolls the waveform one screen width toward the end of the data file.
