Active and inactive traces and channels
A window can display several diagram areas simultaneously, each with a variable number of traces. One
of these traces is active at each time. The active trace is highlighted in the trace list on top of the active
diagram area (Trc 4 in the figure below):
A mouse click onto a trace in the list selects the trace as the active trace. Alternatively, use the functions
of the
Trace
–
Traces
menu.
The active channel is the channel belonging to the active trace. The channels of all traces in a diagram
area are listed at the bottom of the diagram, together with the
Stimulus
values and the display colors of all
traces. The active channel is highlighted (Ch1 in the example below, with two associated traces).
A mouse click onto a trace in the trace list selects the channel associated to the trace as the active
channel. Channels with no traces are not indicated in the diagram areas but can be accessed via the
Channel Manager
.
Next Channel
Selects the next channel in a list of defined channels as the active channel. This function is disabled if the
current setup contains only one channel.
If one or several traces are assigned to the next channel, one of these traces becomes the active trace.
The order of all channels belonging to a setup is given by the channels' creation time. By default, the
channels are named Ch1, Ch2, ... so that Ch<n> follows Ch<n – 1>. This order is always maintained,
even if channels are renamed, invisible (because no traces are assigned to them) or distributed over
several diagram areas.
Remote
control:
The numeric suffix
<Ch>
appended to the first-level mnemonic of a command selects a
channel as active channel.
