The following trace adjustments and settings are available:
•
Profile
—switches the trace for the selected channel on and off.
•
Channel
—opens a dialog box that allows you to configure the trace setup (see
on page 128 for details).
•
Probe
—opens a dialog box that allows you to select the type of test probe being used.
•
Peak Detect
—maximizes the signal sampling rate in order to capture fast events, such as
spikes, glitches and other anomalies, that may normally be undetected.
•
Inverted
—switches the polarity of the displayed signal.
•
Coupling AC
—subtracts the average value of the waveform by blocking the DC portion of an
input signal in order to amplify the AC portion. This makes small variations in the trace visible.
•
Scale
—opens a dialog box that allows you to select the scale, which is the total value
displayed on the vertical axis of the display.
•
Sweep
—the current sweep setting is shown in white at the end of the scale list, selecting
opens a dialog box adjusts the sweep (see
on page 129 for details).
•
Slope
—only active when a trigger is set, indicates whether the trigger is set to activate on the
rising or falling slope of the trace. Selecting the slope icon switches the slope. The white dash
at the bottom of the slope column is used to set the trigger, selecting it opens the trigger setup
dialog box (see
on page 130 for details).
