Toggle the Status Bar display on and off by clicking the [View]-[Status Bar] 
menu.


8. Waveform display
To display a waveform, it is first necessary to select the file to be displayed.
Please click [File], then click [Open] to display the dialog box. Then, 
select the desired waveform file, and click [Open] to load.  The waveform is 
then displayed.

To display a real-time waveform file recorded using Models 8841 and 8826, 
select the index (.r_m) file.


9. Conversion to CSV Format
You can convert displayed waveform data into a CSV format file. The file can be
loaded onto spreadsheet or other application for further processing if converted.
You can either convert the entire data file or a section between A-B cursors. 

If using the A-B cursors, please set the cursors first to specify the section.
They are indicated at the top of the waveform screen as blue and red triangles.
Please drag these triangles using the mouse to set the section, or press 
Shift/Ctrl and click the left mouse button. Then, click [File], 
then [Save Between Cursors]. To save the entire data, click [File], then [Save All]. 

Then, a dialog box for selecting the file to be saved and for thinning out is 
displayed.

converted value.
In the setting section for thinning out, please input the specified number of
samples to thin out.
Please use this setting when interval data of a long duration is required, but
all the sampled data is not required.

Lastly, please input the name of the file, then click the [Save] button to
convert the data to CSV format.  The file is then saved.

In addition, if you need to convert the data into a non-CSV format Text file
(such as Space Delimiter or Tab Delimiter), please select the appropriate format
from the list [Save Format].
And, please select the appropriate time notation from [Sec], [Date], [Trig], 
[Point] on [Time Notation].

Then, select the desired waveform files from the file list. 
To select multiple files, click the left mouse button while pressing the
Shift/Ctrl keys.

In the Thinning box, enter the specified number of samples to thin out.
Use this setting when data over a large range (long time interval) is 
required, but the whole set of sampled data is not required.

In the Output Folder box, enter the folder in which the converted CSV files
is saved.
The [Ref>>] button makes it easier to select the output folder.

Lastly, press the [Convert] button to convert the selected waveform file 
to CSV format and save the file to the above-mentioned output folder.

In addition, if you need to convert the data into a non-CSV format Text file
(such as Space Delimiter or Tab Delimiter), please select the appropriate
format from the list [Save Format].
And, please select the appropriate time notation from [Sec], [Date], [Trig], 
[Point] on [Time Notation].


11. Changing the time axis scale (zoom function)
You can change the time axis scale in the display using the menus or toolbar.
In the toolbar, click the Magnification box to display the possible zoom
factors, then select the desired zoom value.


12. Changing waveform scale and position (Waveform Control Panel)
You can adjust the display for each channel separately. In the [View] menu, 
select [Waveform Control Panel] to display a dialog box.
	CH		Indicates the list of channels.
			When a check mark is present the corresponding channel is
	                displayed.
	Zoom		Set the magnification on the voltage axis for the specified
                	channel.
	Posn		Set the position of the specified channel.
	Show		Display the specified channel(s).
	Hide		Do not display the specified channel(s).
	Show All	Display all channels.
	Hide All	Do not display any channels.
	Color >>	Change the color of the specified channel(s).


13. Checking the waveform measurement conditions (Properties)
Click [View], then click [Properties] to display the measurement 
settings on the MEMORY HiCORDER.


14. Checking voltage parameter (Trace)
Click [View ], then click [Trace] to display the voltage parameter and the 
difference between A-B cursors of all channels.

Right click the trace dialog, then click [Numeric Format] and please select
appropriate format from [Decimal], [Exponential] and [Auxiliary Unit].

Click [View], then click [Remarks] to check the waveform display 
condition and measurement condition, such as the type of input units, 
measurement mode, measuring range, filter used, comment, 
scaling, zoom ratio and zero position.

Click [View], then click [Block List] to check the block list of the
Index file.
In the block list, double click the block to display. The waveform can then be
shown in a new window.
(This menu is effective when you load one of the following Index files:

17. Jump to cursor position (Jump - A Cursor, B Cursor, Trig)
Click [View], then click [Jump] to jump to A or B cursor position and
trigger position.


18. Fixed waveform display condition (Fixed)
Click [View], then click [Fixed] to fix desired waveform display 
conditions such as color, zoom ratio and zero position.
If this function is executed, some display conditions in the waveform file will
be ignored.
This fixed condition is saved automatically when the application is terminated 
or when [Fixed] is unclicked.


19. Translucent dialogs
Ctrl + right click the waveform display, then click [Translucent dialogs] to
show Wave Control Panel, Property, Trace and Block List dialog in
translucently. [Change Dialogs Density] to change the density of dialogs
between 10% to 100%.
