Channel Settings
The majority of the channel (trace) settings and controls are located in the Control
Panel. Each setting is represented by an icon, or a value. Icons are used to make
adjustments, and the displayed values represent an individual characteristic.
Depending on the test, applicable settings are displayed. The following image
shows different views of the control panels to identify the different controls.
