Clicking “Display” brings up an Options dialog box for viewing or changing the display preferences.
This is discussed in the following section.

The Display Scroll Bar

A slide-type scroll bar resides just below the display. Use the slide to move through the data.

Understanding the Status Bar

A status bar at the bottom of the display page shows numerical data for any one selected channel of a
single display. Data such as Time and amplitude Value are in reference to cursor position on the display. If
two cursors are employed, data is in reference to the last cursor moved.

Note: Certain labels applicable to a display’s status bar will not be visible until after the first calculation is

made.
