compresses when changing horizontal settings.
3. The Trigger Position Indicator shows where the trigger event occurred in the waveform record. The trigger icon is
displayed in the waveform slice that is the trigger source.
4. The Zoom icon (in upper right corner of Waveform and Plot views) toggles zoom on and off. The front panel Zoom button
and knobs also turn on zoom mode and change the position and horizontal size of the Zoom Box.
5. The Trigger Level Indicator icon(s) shows the trigger level on the trigger source waveform. Some trigger types require two

See Badges on page 19.
9. The Inactive Channel buttons add channel waveforms to the Waveform view and add an associated Channel badge to the
Settings bar.
The Add New buttons add Math, Reference, and Bus waveforms to the Waveform view, and add an associated Waveform
badge to the Settings bar. You can add any number of Math, Reference, and Bus waveforms, limited only by system
memory.
The optional AFG button opens the AFG configuration menu to set and enable the AFG output. This button is only present if
the AFG option is installed.
The optional DVM button lets you use an analog probe to take DC, AC RMS, or DC+AC RMS voltage measurements on
your DUT. Tap the button to add a DVM badge to the Results Bar and open a configuration menu. The DVM option also
enables a trigger frequency counter, accessible from the Mode & Holdoff panel in the Trigger badge menu. This button is
only present if the DVM option is installed.
10. Channel and Waveform badges (Math, Reference, Bus) show active channel and waveform settings and their status
(selected, unselected, inactive). Double-tap a badge to open its associated configuration menu. See Badges on page 19.
