Select Channel
•
Opens a box to select an arbitrary trace of the active setup as the active trace. This function is
disabled if the current setup contains only one channel.
If one or several traces are assigned to the selected 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 – 1> precedes Ch<n>. 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.
Add Chan + Trace
Creates a new channel and a new trace, which is displayed in the active diagram area. The new channel
settings (including a possible channel calibration) are identical to the previous channel settings; the trace
is created with the trace settings of the former active trace but displayed with another color. The former
and the new active trace are superimposed but can be easily separated, e.g. by changing the
Reference
Position.
The new channel is named Ch<n>, where <n> is the largest of all existing channel numbers plus one. The
name can be changed in the Channel Manager.
To create a new trace in the active channel, use the
Trace – Traces – Add Trace
function. To create a
new channel and a new trace and display it in a new diagram area, use
Add Chan + Trace + Diag Area
.
