Operation and Controls
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.
