OVERVIEW
A
menu bar
of drop-down menus lets you access set up dialogs and other
functions. All functionality can be accessed through the menu bar.
The
grid area
displays the waveform traces. You can adjust the
brightness of the grid lines to make other objects more visible.
Trigger level
(vertical axis) and
trigger time
(horizontal axis) 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. Vertical
cursor readout appears on the Channel descriptor box; Horizontal cursor
readout appears below the Timebase and Trigger descriptor boxes.
Channel (C1-C4), Zoom (Z1-Z4), Math (F1-F2), Memory (M1-M2), and
Digital (Digital1-Digital2, with MSO option)
trace descriptor boxes

immediately below the grid and summarize current settings for each open
trace. Touch the descriptor box to open the corresponding set up dialog.
Timebase and Trigger
