HDO6000 High Definition Oscilloscope

Annotate Traces

The Label function gives you the ability to add custom annotations to traces that are
shown on the display. Labels are numbered sequentially in the order they were
created. Once placed, labels can be moved to new positions and turned on/off.

Create Label

1. Touch the trace, then choose

Set label...

from the pop-up menu.

OR

Touch the trace descriptor box twice, then touch the

Label shortcut button

on the setup dialog.

2. On the Trace Annotation pop-up, touch

Add Label

.

3. Enter the

Label Text

.

4. Optionally, enter the

Horizontal Pos.

and

Vertical Pos.

at which to place the label. The default position

is 0 ns horizontal. You can optionally check

Use Trace Vertical Position

instead of entering a Vertical

Pos.

5.

Close

the dialog.

Edit/Remove Label

1. Touch the label and choose

Set Label

from the pop-up menu.

2. Select the

Label number

. You can use the

Up/Down arrow

keys to scroll the list.

3. Change the

Label Text

and/or

Horizontal Pos.

, or touch

Remove Label

to delete it.

4. Close the dialog.

Turn On/Off Labels

After labels have been placed on a grid, you can turn on/off all labels at once by opening the Trace
Annotation dialog and selecting/deselecting the

View labels

checkbox.
