WaveForm Options: Display
 
 
Limit zoom level to avoid CPU overload.
 
Hundreds of millions of samples can be captured and displayed on screen.
 
With such extremely large trace captures, it is possible to zoom out so far that the software appears to be frozen.
 
To avoid this situation, the GoLogic7 software tracks how much time is required to update the WaveForm view while scrolling and zooming.
 
* At about 200 ms per screen update, a "Wait Pacifier" animation is displayed.
 
* At about 500 ms per screen update, the "Inertia Scroll" feature is disabled to avoid sluggish behavior.
 
* At about 1 second per screen update, the "Limit Zoom Level" prevents further zooming when checked.
 
* When unchecked, no zoom-limit exists and extremely large zoom levels are possible.
 
The computer's CPU clock frequency and the total threads available defines how quickly the trace data can be processed and displayed.
 
Faster CPU clock frequencies combined with more CPU threads can display the largest zoom levels.
