Hi all,

I was on my scope today and had the Big Screen and 'Get Waveform Parameters" dialog box up and realized how handy it would be to have a basic set of “HOT KEYS” that would allow you to toggle un (stop), et Waveform Params, Ch<1> on/off, Ch<2> on/off, and since there are only a few math functions, an ACTIVE/INACTIVE Hot KEY and then select the function (+ - * / plt Inv2)for those too. This would make looking at your ‘Big Sceen’ not only as “BIG” but also would add functionality. These could also be CTRL+Key or even customizable from a (very) small library or even a drop-down menu selection such as “Big Sceen Hot Keys” that activates or deactivates the Hot Key function.

Maybe you already have that and I haven’t found it or you are already thinking about it.

My two cents. Have a nice weekend,

Greg

This hot key idea is good - there are no such keys – yet.
When doing real measurements with two probes it is indeed difficult to use the mouse at the same time…
Also now with the Big Screen hot keys would be nice to have.

Thank you for this suggestion.

Hi VEL255,

My pleasure. I think it would enhance the interface.

Now there are some shortcut keys added to the Big Screen mode.


Only the shortcut Alt + B is effective in the normal screen mode too.

The Math mode functions are assigned to F1 to F6 keys. The +, -, / keys are not in standard places in the international keyboards.

The shortcuts (except the Alt + B) work only when the Big Screen is in the front
