Zooming and Panning

Zoom and pan are the fastest way to move between high-level overview and precise event inspection.

NovyWave zooms around the green dashed line, which follows your pointer over the waveform area. Press Z to reset it to time 0.

The footer shows the current time-per-pixel value. Smaller values mean you are zoomed in further.

Panning moves the visible window without moving the cursor’s absolute time.

Use R when you lose context. It resets the viewport to the full waveform range.

  1. press R for a known starting point,
  2. hover near the event of interest,
  3. zoom with W,
  4. pan with A / D,
  5. use the cursor for precise value inspection.
