Printing waveforms in ViVa

greatqs

I want to print waveforms in ViVa which contain both digital and analog waveforms for presentation usage. After using "print" -> "print to file (PDF)", the output PDF file contains waveforms on the right side and signal names are crowded together on the left side (no one-on-one relationship as in waveform window before print). 

I found this to be very hard to use on presentation if there is a lot of signals (>10 and cannot easily distinguished by different colors).

I've also tried to take screen snapshot but I found the font of signal names are too small and very hard to tell on a 1024 x 768 projector. I've not found anyways to increase the font neither. 

Anybody knows better solutions? Thanks!

     I'm guessing that you're using IC615, but could you say which subversion you're using (Help->About in the CIW will tell you). There have been some fixes to this recently, so would be good to check (as you may know, the graph is a completely new implementation in IC615).

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Andrew,

    Thanks for the reply. Yes I'm using IC615 and the subversion is 6.1.5.500.6

    First of all, I'd suggest you move to IC615 ISR8; there have been some fixes to the printing in this release.

    If you want to control font sizes, you can go to Graph->Properties, and then on the Graph Options tab, setting the font there will affect all the labels. There's also a new option to put the Legend inside the graph rather on the left side.

    If you do File->Save Image, you have control (on the Image Options page) of the resolution of the image, plus what things get included in the resulting image.

    Hopefully that will give you enough flexibility.

    We have got some issues with font quality at some customers (we're trying to get to the bottom of the root cause, because it doesn't happen everywhere) - so if you still have issues I would suggest logging a service request with customer support.

    Best Regards,

    Andrew
