Display elements

The waveform shown below is displayed as part of the user interface (UI) application. Some terms that are useful in discussing
the UI follow.

1. Menu Bar. Access the controls for data I/O, printing, online help, and instrument functions here.

2. Buttons/Menu. Click to toggle between the toolbar and menu bar modes.

3. Multipurpose Knob Readout. Adjust and display the parameters controlled by the multipurpose knobs.

4. Display. Live, reference, and math waveforms are displayed here, along with cursors.

5. Waveform Handle. Click and drag to change the vertical position of a waveform.

6. Controls Status. Obtain a quick reference to the vertical selections, scale, and parameters. Probe status is provided for

some probe tips.

7. Readouts. The cursor and measurement readouts are displayed in this area. Measurements are selectable form the menu

bar or toolbar. If a control window is displayed, some combinations of readouts move to the graticule area.
