Icons in the channel bar
The star icon ( ) on the tab label indicates that the displayed trace no longer
matches the current instrument settings. This can be the case, for example, if a
trace is frozen and the instrument settings are changed. When a new measure-
ment is performed, the icon disappears.
The exclamation mark icon ( ) indicates that an error or warning is available for
that measurement channel. This is particularly useful if the MultiView tab is dis-
played.
The icon indicates the currently active channel during an automatic measure-
ment sequence (
sequencer
functionality).
Beneath the channel name, information about channel-specific settings for the
measurement is displayed in the
channel bar
. Channel information varies
depending on the active application.
The channel bar above the diagram also contains information about instrument
settings.
