Signal Display Grid
The grid area displays the waveform traces. It is sectioned into 10 Horizontal (Time) divisions and 8 Vertical (Voltage)
divisions.
By default, the oscilloscope divides the screen into a maximum of three grids, one each for channels/memories, math
functions, and zooms. All traces of the same type appear on the same grid.
Three other grid layouts are available: Single Grid, which displays all traces on the same grid, XY Grid, which puts the
oscilloscope in XY mode, and XY Single Grid, which creates one XY grid and one single grid for the rest of your traces.
Different types of traces opening in separate grids.
Adjusting Grid Brightness
You can adjust the brightness of the grid lines to make either the grid or traces more visible. Go to
Display > Display
Setup
and enter a new
Grid Intensity
percentage. The higher the number, the brighter and bolder the grid lines.
Grid Indicators
These indicators appear outside the grid to mark important points on the display. They are matched to the color of the
trace to which they apply.
Trigger Position
- A small triangle along the bottom (horizontal) edge of the grid shows the time the
oscilloscope is set to trigger an acquisition. Unless Delay is set, this indicator is at the zero (center) point of the
grid. Trigger Delay is shown at the top right of the Timebase descriptor box.
Pre/Post-trigger Delay
- A small arrow to the bottom left or right of the grid indicates that a pre- or post-trigger
Delay has shifted the Trigger Position indicator to a point in time not displayed on the grid. All trigger Delay
values are shown on the Timebase Descriptor Box.
