menu bar

 of drop-down menus lets you access set up dialogs and 

other functions. All functionality can be accessed through either the menu 

bar or other shortcuts. 
If an action can be “undone” (such as recalling a setup), a small 

Undo 

button

 appears at the far right of the menu bar. Click this to return to the 

previous oscilloscope display. 
The 

grid area

 displays the waveform traces. You can adjust many grid 

settings on the Display Setup dialog. 

Trigger level

 and 

trigger position 

indicators appear on the grid when a 

trigger is set, color-coded to match the source.

Cursors

 show where measurement points have been set. Touch-and-

drag cursor indicators to quickly reposition the measurement point. 
Channel (C1-C4), Zoom (Z1-Z4), Math, Memory (M1-M4), and Digital 

(Digital1-Digital2, with mixed signal options) 

descriptor boxes

 appear 

along the bottom of the grid area and summarize current settings for 

each open trace. Touch the descriptor box to open the set up dialog.

Timebase and Trigger

 descriptor boxes appear at the right of the display. 

Timebase and Trigger settings only apply to channel traces. Touch the 

descriptor box to open the corresponding set up dialog.

Dialogs

 appear at the bottom of the display for entering set up data. The 

top dialog will be the main entry point for the selected function.  
For convenience, related dialogs appear as a series of tabs behind the 

main dialog. Touch the tab to open the dialog.

toolbar

 on the Channel, Math, and Memory dialogs offers shortcuts to 

common actions so you don’t have to leave the underlying dialog. Actions 

always apply to the active (highlighted) trace.

Apply measurement parameters.

Display a zoom of the trace.

Apply a math function to the trace.

Open the Serial Decode dialog (when serial decoders 

are installed).

Copy the active trace to the corresponding internal 

memory (e.g., C2 to M2).

Scale the waveform to fit the grid.

Apply a custom label to the trace.
