Press the channel buttons on the front of your Acquisition Modules
to turn channels on/off.

From menu bar, choose Vertical > Channel <#>.

A trace descriptor box appears on the display for each open channel trace.
When you touch this descriptor box, the trace is activated and the Channel
(C#) dialog opens.

A highlighted descriptor box indicates the active trace to which all actions
apply. Touch this box at any time to open its setup dialog.

: The default is to display each trace on its own grid automatically (Auto Grid).

memory traces without leaving the Channel dialog by touching the Measure
