To Select the Display Type
Press Display  Type to set the waveform display mode to “Vectors” or “Dots”.
 Vectors: the sample points are connected by lines and displayed, as shown in
the figure below. Normally, this mode can provide the most vivid waveform to
view the steep edge of the waveform (such as square waveform).
 Dots: display the sample points directly as shown in the figure below. You can
directly view each sample point and use the cursor to measure the X and Y
values of the sample point.

To Set the Persistence Time
Press Display  Persis.Time to set the persistence time of the oscilloscope to Min,
specific values (100 ms, 200 ms, 500 ms, 1 s, 5 s and 10 s) or Infinite.
In the following part, the frequency sweep signal of a sine waveform is used to
demonstrate the waveform effects in different persistence times.
1. Min
Enable to view waveform changing in high refresh rate.
2. Specific Values
Enable to observe glitch that changes relatively slowly or glitch with low
occurrence probability. The persistence time can be set to 100 ms, 200 ms, 500
ms, 1 s, 5 s or 10 s.
