To set or clear persistence

With persistence, the oscilloscope updates the display with new 
acquisitions, but does not immediately erase the results of previous 
acquisitions. All previous acquisitions are displayed with reduced 
intensity. New acquisitions are shown in their normal color with normal 
intensity.

Waveform persistence is kept only for the current display area; you cannot 
pan and zoom the persistence display.

To use persistence:

1

Press the
