Zoom fullZooms to full range.
Zoom inIncreases the zoom level by one step.
Zoom outDescreases the zoom level by one step.
Zoom lastRecalls the last zoom level.
Add cursorAdds a vertical cursor to the waveform window.
Remove cursorRemoves the selected vertical cursor from the waveform window.
Lock cursorLocks the selected vertical cursor to its current position.
Snap to transitionAutomatically snaps the cursor to the closest transition of the selected signal when it is located in its immediate surroundings.
Search signalSearches a signal in the displayed signals.
Search valueSearchs for a specific value of the selected signal.
Go to sample nrAllows going to a specific sample number.
Search forwardSearches for the next event occurring on the highlighted / selected signal. Uses the Selection choice drop down to define the event.
Search backwardSearches for the previous event occurring on the highlighted / selected signal. Uses the Selection choice drop down to define the event.
Selection choice for forward and backward searchesDefines the type of event to search with the forward and backward event search controls.
