Display

Display settings affect the number and style of grids that appear on screen and some of the visual

characteristics of traces, such as persistence.

See Utilities for settings related to screen resolution, color, and screen savers.

Display Setup

Follow this procedure to adjust how traces appear on the touch screen display.

1. From the menu bar, choose Display → Display Setup...

2. Touch the Grid button, then select one of the grid types (the image on the icon shows the resulting

grid arrangement).

Auto, the default, automatically adds or deletes grids as you open or close traces, up to the maximum

number supported.

3. To dim or brighten the background grid lines, touch Grid Intensity and provide a value from 0 to 100.

4. Optionally, check Grid on top to superimpose the grid over the waveform.

NOTE: Depending on the grid intensity, some of your waveforms may be hidden from view when the

grid is placed on top. To view them, simply uncheck Grid on top.

5. Optionally, check Axis labels to display the values of the top and bottom grid lines (calculated from

volts/div) and the extreme left and right grid lines (calculated from the timebase).

6. Choose a line style for your traces: solid Line or a disconnected series of sample Points.

7. To highlight more frequent samples, touch Intensity and enter a value from 0 to 100. For more infor-

mation, see Adjust and Intensity.

8. If you selected to display an XY grid, select the source channels to Input X and Input Y.

9. If you have an external monitor installed, touch Open Monitor Control Panel and set up the external dis-

play.

Moving Traces from Grid to Grid

You can move traces from grid to grid in several ways.

Next Grid Shortcut Button

Open the Channel setup dialog for the trace you want to move, then touch the Next Grid shortcut button at

the bottom of the dialog.

NOTE: If you have only one grid open, a second grid opens automatically when you select Next Grid.
