The Mixed Display Menu (1660A Through
1663A Only)

The Mixed Display menu is a multidisplay menu which consists of a
state listing display located at the top of the menu and a waveform
display located at the bottom of the menu.  The Mixed Display menu
is used to view both state and timing data in the same display.

The Mixed Display menu only becomes available when at least one
analyzer is configured as a state analyzer, with its Count field in the
Trigger menu set to Time.  If two state analyzers are configured, both
state listing displays can be interleaved as well as shown separately,
however, the listing menus are the best display menus for a two-state
analyzer configuration.

The waveform display area shows timing analyzer waveforms from the
configured timing analyzer.

For the most part, the operation of the menu fields in the listing and
waveform portions of the Mixed Display menu are identical to their
operation in their respective menus.

Only the unique functions and features of the Mixed Display menu are
described in this chapter.  For complete information about the menu
fields refer to the Listing menu and Waveform menu chapters found
earlier in this manual.
