The vertical [Position] and the [Scale] knobs are illuminated in the color of the
selected waveform.
In 

Figure 6-1

, C2 is the selected waveform: The frame of the diagram and the

signal icon are highlighted.

Minimized:
The waveform is shown as real-time signal preview in its signal icon.

To switch a waveform on

A channel waveform is activated as soon as you connect the probe. You can
switch it on and off according to your needs.

► Choose one of the following ways:

● Press the channel key.
● Tap the signal activator on the right side of the signal bar.
● In the "Vertical" dialog box, select the channel and tap "Channel" > "On".
The waveform is now active, selected, and is shown in the diagram.

To select a waveform

► Choose one of the following ways:

● Tap the waveform in the waveform diagram.
● To select a channel, reference, or math waveform, press the correspond-

ing key.

● Tap the signal icon.

Note: 

Zoom waveforms in zoom diagrams cannot be selected.

To minimize a waveform

► Choose on of the following ways:

● Tap the "Minimize" icon in the upper right corner of the waveform's signal

label in the signal bar.

● Drag the waveform from the diagram to the signal bar.
The waveform disappears from the diagram and the signal preview is shown
in the signal icon.

► To set the waveform back to its previous diagram immediately, use "Undo".

To arrange a waveform using the SmartGrid

See
