modifyDisplayChannel

Modify properties of Logic Analyzer display channel

Syntax

modifyDisplayChannel(scope,tag,Name,Value)

Description

modifyDisplayChannel(scope,tag,Name,Value) modifies the properties of tag using properties specified by one or more name-value pairs. Enclose each property name in single quotes.

Examples

Display Fixed-Point Signals

Create a dsp.LogicAnalyzer object with four channels. Call modifyDisplayChannel to set the radix of each of the channels. Run the scope in a loop to display the waves.

scope = dsp.LogicAnalyzer('NumInputPorts',4,'DisplayChannelFormat','Digital');
scope.TimeSpan = 12;

modifyDisplayChannel(scope,1,'Name','Index','Radix','Unsigned decimal'); 
modifyDisplayChannel(scope,2,'Name','Fi_hex','Radix','Hexadecimal'); 
modifyDisplayChannel(scope,3,'Name','Fi_bin','Radix','Binary'); 
modifyDisplayChannel(scope,4,'Name','Fi_actual','Radix','Signed decimal'); 

for ii = 1:20 
    fival = fi((ii-1)/16,0,4,4); 
    scope(ii,fival,fival,fival); 
end

Manipulate Logic Analyzer Programatically

Use functions to construct and manipulate a dsp.LogicAnalyzer System object.

Display Waves on Logic Analyzer scope.

scope = dsp.LogicAnalyzer('NumInputPorts',2);

stop = 30;
for count = 1:stop
    sinValVec = sin(count/stop*2*pi);
    cosValVec = cos(count/stop*2*pi);
    cosValVecOffset = cos((count+10)/stop*2*pi);
    
    scope([count (count-(stop/2))],[sinValVec cosValVec cosValVecOffset]) 
end

Reorganize Display

hide(scope)
digitalDividerTag = addDivider(scope,'Name','Digital','Height',20);
analogDividerTag = addDivider(scope,'Name','Analog','Height',40);

tags = getDisplayChannelTags(scope);

modifyDisplayChannel(scope,tags{1},'InputChannel',1,...
    'Name','Ramp Digital','Height',40);
modifyDisplayChannel(scope,tags{2},'InputChannel',2,...
    'Name','Waves Analog','Format','Analog','Height',80);

moveDisplayChannel(scope,digitalDividerTag,'DisplayChannel',1)
moveDisplayChannel(scope,tags{2},'DisplayChannel',length(tags))

show(scope)

Duplicate Wave and Check Information

hide(scope)
addWave(scope,'InputChannel',2,'Name','Waves Digital','Format','Digital',...
    'Height',30,'DisplayChannel',3);
show(scope)

Remove Dividers

hide(scope)
deleteDisplayChannel(scope,digitalDividerTag)
deleteDisplayChannel(scope,analogDividerTag)
show(scope)

Clear variables

Input Arguments

scope — Logic Analyzer object for which you want to modify a display channel

dsp.LogicAnalyzer object

The Logic Analyzer object for which you want to modify a display channel, specified as a handle to the dsp.LogicAnalyzer object.

tag — which display channel to modify

character vector | string scalar

The tag identifying which display channel to modify.

Example: modifyDisplayChannel(scope,tag)

Example: modifyDisplayChannel(scope,'W4')

Data Types: char | string

The first section on Name-Value Pair Arguments shows the properties you can set if the display channel contains a wave. The second section on Name-Value Pair Arguments shows the properties you can set if the display channel contains a divider.

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

Example: 'InputChannel',2,'Color','Blue' specifies that a wave should be added to input channel 1 and colored blue.

Color — Color of the wave

'Default' (default) | character vector | three element numeric vector | string scalar

Color of the wave, specified as an [R G B] value or one of the following:

• 'Black'

• 'Blue'

• 'Cyan'

• 'Default'

• 'Green'

• 'Magenta'

• 'Red'

• 'White'

• 'Yellow'

When you choose 'Default', the value of the DisplayChannelColor property in the Logic Analyzer is used.

Example: 'Color','Blue'

Example: 'Color',[0,0,1]

Data Types: char | string | double | single | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64

DisplayChannel — Channel on the display that shows this wave

NumInputPorts (default) | scalar numeric value in the range (1,NumInputPorts)

Specify as a scalar numeric value the display channel that shows this wave. By default, the wave is added to the end of the display.

Example: 'DisplayChannel',2

Data Types: double | single | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64

FontSize — Font size for values in the wave

0 (default) | scalar nonnegative integer

Specify as a scalar nonnegative integer the font size in points. When you choose 0, the value of the DisplayChannelFontSize property in the Logic Analyzer is used.

Example: 'FontSize',8

Data Types: double

Format — Display format for the wave

'Default' (default) | 'Analog' | 'Digital'

When you choose 'Default', the value of the DisplayChannelFormat property in the Logic Analyzer is used.

Example: 'Format','Digital'

Data Types: char | string

Height — Height of the wave

0 (default) | scalar integer

Specify as a scalar integer the height of the wave in the display in units of 16 pixels. When you choose 0, the value of the DisplayChannelHeight property in the Logic Analyzer is used.

Example: 'Height',2

Data Types: double

InputChannel — Input channel that corresponds to this wave

1 (default) | scalar integer in the range (1,NumInputPorts)

This property specifies the input channel whose data is used for this wave. By default, it will connect the first input to this wave.

Example: 'InputChannel',2

Data Types: double | single | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64

Name — Name or label for the wave

'' (default) | character vector | string scalar

Specify the name that you would like to set for the new wave.

Example: 'Name','MyWave'

Data Types: char | string

Radix — Radix for the wave

'Default' (default) | 'Binary' | 'Hexadecimal' | 'Octal' | 'Signed decimal' | 'Unsigned decimal'

When the input signals are of class double, single, or logical, you should not set this property. When you choose 'Default', the value of the DisplayChannelRadix property in the Logic Analyzer is used.

Data Types: char | string

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

Example: 'DisplayChannel',2,'Name','MyDivider' specifies that a divider should be added to display channel 2 and named “MyDivider”.

DisplayChannel — Channel on the display that shows this divider

NumInputPorts (default) | scalar numeric value in the range (1,NumInputPorts)

Specify as a scalar numeric value the display channel that shows this divider. By default, the divider is added to the end of the display.

Height — Height of the divider

0 (default) | scalar integer

Specify, in pixels, the height of the divider as a scalar integer in the range 8-200. If you choose 0, the value of the DisplayChannelHeight property in the Logic Analyzer is used.

Example: 'Height',2

Data Types: double

Name — The name or label for the divider

'' (default) | character vector | string scalar

Specify the name that you would like to set for the new divider.
