From the dialog box you can change the colors of channel traces, grid lines, and the display background
color. You can also:
o Change line styles:
Solid, Dots, Dashes, Dash Dot, Dash Dot Dot
o Display or discard partial acquisition data upon the acquisition’s stop
o Change the cursor color
o Select to automatically match the cursor color to the trace color
Remember that the changes made from the Display Preferences tab are global changes, i.e., they will be
applied to every display on every display page.
To change the parameters for a specific display, and leave the other displays as currently configured, simply
click on the tab associated with the display for which you want to change parameters.
You can change the parameters of an individual display in regard to:
o Graph Title
You can enter (or edit) a title for the display and select to show the title on the display via a
checkbox. The title color can be changed.
o Scale factor (Auto-scale or Manual Scale)
When Manual Scale is used the values entered for minimum and maximum apply. These are the
minimum and maximum Y-axis values. The units are the displayed channels’ engineering units.
o Limits
These limits are for display purpose only. They have no relation to acquisition
limits which are used as triggers.
You can set an upper and/or lower limit for display and change the color of these display limits. If
you select to use a limit [by checking the associated box] then traces that exceed the limit value
will become noticeably thicker.
You can display the upper and lower limit lines, regardless of whether or not you decide to use the
trace-thickening feature, and visa versa.
