Turning On/Off Traces
From the Front Panel
Press the corresponding Channel button (1–4) to turn on a trace and make
it active. To turn off an active trace, press the button again.
A trace (waveform pattern) appears on the grid with a color-coded Channel
descriptor box below it. This box always displays the current settings for the
trace and is labeled C1–C4.
To open digital traces (-MS models only), press the Dig button. Digital trace
descriptors are labeled Digital1-Digital4.
From the Display
Choose Vertical > Channel<#> Setup to turn on the trace and make it
active. To turn off the trace, touch the descriptor box, then clear the Trace
On checkbox on the Channel dialog.
For digital traces, choose Vertical > Digital<#> Setup. Turn off the trace by
clearing the Group checkbox.
Zoom, Math, and Memory Traces
In addition to the channel and digital traces, you can view a zoom (close-up
portion) of a trace (Z1-Z4), a trace previously stored to the oscilloscope’s
memory (M1-M4), or a trace that displays the result of a math function
applied to one or more source traces (F1-F8). The quickest way to turn
on these traces is to use the front panel Zoom, Math, and Memory
buttons, which open the corresponding trace setup dialogs. Adjust a trace
individually by touching its descriptor box and changing dialog settings.
If multiple channel traces are open and you press Zoom, zoom traces are
created for each channel.
Active vs. Inactive Trace
A highlighted descriptor box indicates the “active” trace, and all display and
front panel actions will apply to that trace until another is selected. This is
true for all traces, regardless of the type. Although several traces may be
open and appear on the grid, only one at a time is active.
Also, the front panel Channel buttons (1-4) and the Dig, Mem, Zoom, and
Math buttons will light up to indicate the active trace.
Viewing Multiple Traces
By default, the oscilloscope has Auto Grid enabled. This divides the grid
each time a new trace is opened, up to 16 grids for simultaneous viewing.
There are Display menu options to show all traces on a Single Grid, or to
manually divide the grid up to eight times. When you manually divide the
grid, zooms and measurement markers appear on the same grid as the
source channel, while math and memory traces appear in new grids until
none are available.
Manually move traces from grid to grid using the Next Grid shortcut
button.
Active. Controls will
work for this trace. Inactive. Controls will not
work for this trace.
