Display
The
Display
softkey turns the channel display off and on. When the channel dis-
play is on, a waveform is displayed for that channel, unless the offset is
adjusted so the waveform is clipped off the display.
The channel number, vertical scaling, and offset are displayed at the bottom
left of the waveform area. They remain on the display until the channel is
turned off, or an automatic measurement is performed. The automatic mea-
surement results share the same area of the display as the channel setups.
When the channel display is off, the waveform display for that channel is
turned off, pulse parameter measurements are stopped and acquisition on
that channel is stopped, unless it is needed as an operand for waveform math
functions.
Even though the channel display is off, you can still use the plug-in as a trigger
source or as a function source in the Math menu. However, the analyzer will
not trigger unless one or more of the other channel displays are turned on, or
unless a math function is using one of the channels.

Scale
The
Scale
softkey controls the vertical scaling of the waveform. If the fine
mode is off, then the knob and arrow keys change the vertical scaling in a
1-2-5 sequence. When fine mode is on, the knob and arrow keys change the
vertical scaling in 1 mV increments. You can also use the keypad to enter val-
ues in 1 mV increments, independent of the fine mode selection.
The scale will be displayed in volts or watts, as selected by the
Units
softkey.
(Amperes, or unknown are available on electrical channels only.)
