Method of grouping waveforms for a single channel on a single display

摘要

A method of grouping multiple waveforms for a single channel of acquired data on a display area uses a graphic icon with the display area. The graphic icon has a first portion with a symbol indicating the single channel and with an indicator defining a baseline for the display area. The graphic icon also has a second portion with symbols indicating which of the multiple waveforms currently are being displayed. The symbol for the single channel and the symbol for a selected one of the multiple waveforms currently being displayed are highlighted. The highlighting may be via color, where the highlight color corresponds to the color of the waveforms currently being displayed.

1. A method of grouping multiple waveforms for a single channel of acquired data on a display area of a display screen comprising the steps of:
displaying a normal waveform for the acquired data on the display area; providing an icon having a first portion with a channel symbol indicative of the single channel and with an indicator situated on the display screen to define a baseline for the display area, and having a second portion with a waveform symbol indicative of the normal waveform; providing a menu on the display screen indicating multiple different waveforms available for the acquired data; and activating from the menu ones of the multiple different waveforms desired for display on the display area, wherein in response to the activation from the menu of one of the multiple different waveforms available for the acquired data, a waveform symbol indicative of the activated waveform is added to the icon in the second portion, and the second portion of the icon has different waveform symbols for each of the different waveforms activated for display.
