A method and apparatus for displaying information on a device acquiring data is provided. The method includes the steps of receiving an input data, generating a version of the received input data to be displayed in accordance with one or more display parameters and displaying the generated version of the received input data. A requested change in one or more display parameters is received and the requested change of the one or more display parameters is implemented on the displayed data. Processing continues on the further received input data in accordance with the requested change in the one or more display parameters and the display is ultimately updated with the processed further received input data.

Method and apparatus for data preview

An oscilloscope apparatus and method of processing waveform data using a streaming architecture. The apparatus has multiple processing objects (processors) that share a common cache memory in which the waveform data is stored during processing. Each processing object performs a sequential processing operation by retrieving a &ldquo;chunk&rdquo; or portion of the waveform from the memory, processes the chunk of data, and re-stores the processed data into the same location in the cache memory. This process is generally repeated until the entire waveform has been sequentially processed. The apparatus operates using a &ldquo;pull&rdquo; design wherein the last processor requests the next chunk to be processed from the preceding processor. In this manner, the waveform data is essentially processed by pulling it through the sequence of processing objects. The multiple processing objects may be implemented as a sequence of software processing objects in a processing thread or as separate hardware processors.
