Other Traces

You can quickly create zoom or math traces without leaving the setup dialogs by touching the Zoom or

Math shortcut button at the bottom of the dialog.

You can also use the Front Panel Zoom, Math, or Mem(ory) buttons to quickly create traces. The Zoom

control automatically creates zoom trace(s) that are 1/10 of the original waveform(s). The middle of the

grid is used as the center of the zoom trace.

Activate Trace

A trace descriptor box appears on the display for each enabled channel, digital, zoom, math, or memory

trace. Touch this box at any time to activate the trace and open its setup dialog. A highlighted descriptor

box indicates the active trace to which all actions apply.

Active trace descriptor (left), inactive trace descriptor (right).

Although several traces may be open and appear on the grid, only one at a time is active. Whenever you

activate a trace , the dialog at the bottom of the screen automatically switches to the appropriate setup

dialog for that trace. The tab at the top of the dialog shows to which trace it applies.

Channel descriptor label matches Channel setup dialog tab.
