Abstract: A digital oscilloscope comprises a sampling unit configured to sample an input signal received from an oscilloscope probe to produce a first stream of digital samples, a first acquisition system configured to store and process the stream of digital samples to produce a first data set, a second acquisition system configured to store and process the first stream of digital samples independent of the first acquisition system to produce a second data set, and a display system configured to concurrently display the first data set in a first format and the second data set in a second format different from the first format.

Abstract: A waveform display method is disclosed. The method includes determining the narrowest pulse in a waveform for display and determining an available pixel width for displaying the narrowest pulse in a first display portion if the entire waveform is to be displayed in the first display portion. The pixel width is measure in terms of a number of pixels. The method further includes displaying the entire waveform or a portion thereof in the first display portion depending on the available pixel width. A signal measurement system that implements the method is also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing multi-measurements are provided. One such method includes: displaying a first icon corresponding to a multi-source measurement, displaying waveforms, visually associating the first icon with at least one of the waveforms responsive to user input, and performing a multi-source measurement related to the waveforms.

Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing user input are provided. One such method includes: receiving a first user input provided via a first component of a pointing device, moving a cursor displayed on a display device responsive to the first user input, receiving a second user input provided by rotating a second component of the pointing device, and modifying an item corresponding to a current location of the cursor.

Abstract: A system and method for application control in measurement devices is disclosed. The method includes installing a new application using the device's graphical user interface, extending the device's menu system for the new application, launching the new application using the device's extended menu system, and controlling the device using the new application through a remote control mechanism of the device. A system of application control in a measurement device is also disclosed.
