Tektronix has extended its MyScope control windows, the first fully-customisable user interface, to the entire portfolio of current Tektronix mid-range and high performance oscilloscopes. The intuitive capabilities of the MyScope control windows and 'right-clicks' first introduced with the TDS5000B Series simplify and make more efficient, design validation measurements and tests so that engineers can get their work done quickly and easily.
These capabilities are now extended to the TDS7154B, TDS7254B, TDS7404B, TDS7704B, CSA7404B, TDS6000B and TDS6000C models; a complementary upgrade is available at www.tektronix.com.
"The MyScope and right-clicks interface has raised the standard for oscilloscope usability," said Colin Shepard, vice president, Performance Oscilloscope Products, Tektronix. "Feedback from customers after introduction of the TDS5000B Series with MyScope, and the subsequent DesignVision Award given by the IEC and EDN Innovation Award reinforced our decision to extend the offering across a broader portfolio. With the MyScope interface, Tektronix' mid-range and high-performance models are the only oscilloscopes on the market that allow a user to create customised control windows, resulting in shorter learning curves, easy repeatability of operations, and personalisation for multiple users."
MyScope functionality enables users to quickly and easily customise the oscilloscope to meet their unique requirements. Using a simple drag-and-drop procedure, users are able to pull all the oscilloscope features they use into a single half screen control window; allowing them to tailor the oscilloscope to their particular style or measurement task. Engineers can create a virtually unlimited number of custom MyScope control windows, allowing multiple users of a shared oscilloscope to each have their own custom interface.
In addition to MyScope, users can navigate through context-sensitive menus using the Windows mouse right-click and scroll wheel features. When pointing the cursor at an area of interest on the display - eg, a waveform displayed on Channel 1 - users can right-click to bring up a menu of possible controls. The menu then displayed on the screen is for Ch 1 related adjustments and measurements. Controls selected via a right mouse click automatically assign any associated parameters to the mouse scroll wheel for quick and easy adjustment. Right-click menus keep simple things simple by providing shortcut alternatives to the menu structure users normally would navigate.
