The

 

display

 

automatically

 

updates

 

to

 

reflect

 

the

 

current

 

conditions

 

whenever

 

display

 

adjustments

 

or

 

a

 

new

 

acquisition

 

is

 

obtained.

 

 

The

 

blue

 

horizontal

 

bar

 

represents

 

the

 

digital

 

samples

 

acquired.

 

The

 

labels

 

on

 

each

 

end

 

of

 

the

 

bar

 

show

 

the

 

time

 

extent

 

of

 

that

 

data

 

relative

 

to

 

the

 

trigger

 

point.

 

 

The

 

red

 

horizontal

 

bar

 

represents

 

analog

 

samples

 

(if

 

present)

 

acquired

 

from

 

an

 

attached

 

oscilloscope

 

and

 

the

 

labels

 

on

 

each

 

end

 

of

 

the

 

bar

 

show

 

the

 

time

 

extent

 

of

 

that

 

data

 

relative

 

to

 

the

 

trigger

 

point.

 

The

 

trigger

 

point

 

itself

 

is

 

denoted

 

by

 

the

 

solid

 

vertical

 

green

 

bar

 

(

A

).

  

The

 

current

 

pre/post

store

 

setting

 

for

 

the

 

digital

 

device

 

is

 

denoted

 

by

 

the

 

dashed

 

green

 

rectangle

 

(

B

).

 

These

 

two

 

indicators

 

align

 

when

 

a

 

new

 

acquisition

 

is

 

obtained;

 

however,

 

the

 

pre/post

store

 

control

 

can

 

be

 

adjusted

 

by

 

the

 

user

 

to

 

change

 

the

 

setting

 

for

 

subsequent

 

acquisitions.

 

The

 

pre

store

 

amount

 

(as

 

a

 

percentage

 

of

 

the

 

total

 

digital

 

acquisition)

 

is

 

always

 

displayed

 

next

 

to

 

this

 

rectangle.

 

The

 

yellow

 

translucent

 

viewbox

 

represents

 

your

 

current

 

view

 

in

 

the

 

waveforms

 

display.

 

This

 

shaded

 

region

 

also

 

provides

 

information

 

for

 

relative

 

zoom

 

level

 

and

 

position

 

within

 

the

Single

 

mode

 

attempts

 

to

exactly

 

one

 

new

while

 

Normal

repeated

Auto

is

 

similar

except

 

it

The

of

 

the

also

 

contains

 

two

 

green
