<b>Pause and play</b>
|
||||
|
||||
Pause freezes the <i>display</i>, not the acquisition. The producer keeps filling the ring at
|
||||
full rate; the view binds an immutable snapshot of the window that was on screen, and the axis
|
||||
is pinned to it.
|
||||
|
||||
<b>How to reach it</b>
|
||||
|
||||
The pause button in the toolbar, or <tt>Space</tt>. Press it again to resume, which rebinds the
|
||||
live ring and puts the window back on the newest data.
|
||||
|
||||
<b>Worth knowing</b>
|
||||
|
||||
• Nothing is lost while paused. Because the producer never stops, resuming shows current data
|
||||
with no hole in the history behind it.
|
||||
• The axis is pinned to the <i>snapshot's own stamps</i>, not to the window that was requested.
|
||||
A window reaching back past the oldest retained sample yields a shorter snapshot, and the
|
||||
pinned axis is that shorter span — so you see a narrower view rather than an empty margin.
|
||||
• A paused view is pinned exactly as a held trigger event is: zoom in freely, but a pan or a
|
||||
zoom out is clamped to the snapshot's data.
|
||||
• Pausing is the easiest way to measure a layout or read a cursor precisely, because nothing
|
||||
under the pointer moves between frames.
|
||||
|
||||
<b>Example</b>
|
||||
|
||||
Pause with a 2 s window over a ring holding 1.4 s: the frozen axis reads
|
||||
<tt>[-1.40 .. 0.00]</tt> rather than <tt>[-2.00 .. 0.00]</tt> with 0.6 s of blank. The pause
|
||||
probe reports <tt>ring_produced</tt> still growing across the pause and
|
||||
<tt>event_size</tt> non-zero exactly while paused.
