 The pattern generator instrument can be used to generate output from the M2K with user configurable parameters.  It consists of 3 parts:
-  *Channel manager
+  *Channel handles
   *Signals Plot
   *Control Panel

 The buttons on top of the pattern generator are:
   * The Run button starts the pattern generation.

 The plot shows a preview of the generated signals by the pattern generator. For the enabled channels, the generated waveform is shown. For channel groups (groups of one or more channels) a “decoder” is displayed and has the purpose to graphically represent the binary value of the channel group.
-{{ :university:tools:m2k:scopy:pg_4.png |}}
+The channel enumerator panel lists all available channels on the device, and allows the user to enable them.
-The channel manager panel lists all available channels on the device, and allows the user to create custom channel configurations.
+{{ :university:tools:m2k:scopy:pattern_generator_new_2.png |}}
-The user can enable channels by clicking the {{:university:tools:m2k:scopy:pg_5.png|}}  button, setting the channel as an output.
+The user can enable channels by clicking the blue checkbox  button, setting the channel as an output.
-The channel name is shown in the second column of the channel manager. This name can be changed from the control panel
+By double clicking the channel the channel settings for it will be shown
-The channel number is in the third column. This is the actual DIO number of the device.
+{{ :university:tools:m2k:scopy:pattern_generator_new_3.png |}}
-The select button is used to merge multiple channels together into a channel group.
+In the channel settings the name, trace height are displayed. If the channel is part of a group, then the channels in the group are shown and can be removed by clicking the red X button or changed in order using the drag widget.
-Channel groups are used to generate more complex patterns that span over multiple channels.
+The pattern for this channel/ channel group can be changed and the corresponding pattern settings are displayed.
+To group a set of channel the same mechanism as in the Logic Analyzer is used. Click the group button (it becomes "done") select all the channels you want to have in a group, then click the done button.
-In order to create a channel group, select multiple channels and click the {{:university:tools:m2k:scopy:pg_6.png|}}  button.
-{{:university:tools:m2k:scopy:pg_7.png|}}
-The {{:university:tools:m2k:scopy:pg_8.png|}} buttons can be used to remove a channel from the channel group or to dissolve the channel group (if the button next to the channel group is clicked). The channel group can also be dissolved if the user selects the channel group and clicks the {{:university:tools:m2k:scopy:pg_9.png|}} button. Channel groups can be merged with other channels or channel groups by applying the same procedure as before, select channels and channel groups and group them.
-An alternative to the select/group mechanism is to drag and drop elements in the channel manager like this:
- {{ :university:tools:m2k:scopy:pg_10.png |}}
-An advantage dragging and dropping elements over using select/group mechanism is that it allows the user to reorder the elements in an intuitive way.
-The {{:university:tools:m2k:scopy:pg_11.png|}}  button hides elements that are not enabled, showing only the enabled elements in the channel manager and plot.
- {{ :university:tools:m2k:scopy:pg_12.png |}}
-Whenever an element in the channel manager is clicked, it becomes highlighted. The highlighted element has a darker tint in the channel manager and the associated waveform in the plot is enclosed within two vertical white lines. The highlighted element indicates that settings in the control panel apply to this element.
-{{ :university:tools:m2k:scopy:scopy_2018-05-10_17-33-20.png?200|}}
-The control panel allows the user to set the parameters of the waveform to be generated.
-The {{:university:tools:m2k:scopy:pg_13.png|}} buttons allow navigation through the channel manager.
-The Pattern combobox allows the user to select one of the currently implemented patterns.\\
 The currently implemented patterns are:
   *Clock – generates a clock signal having user selectable frequency, phase and duty cycle.
