Adjusting Traces
To adjust Vertical Scale (gain or sensitivity) and Vertical Offset, just activate the trace and use the
front panel Vertical knobs. To make other adjustments—such as pre-processing on channel traces or
the function definition of math traces—touch the trace descriptor box twice to open the appropriate
setup dialog.
Many entries can be made by selecting from the pop-up menu that appears when you touch a control.
But when an entry field appears highlighted after touching, it is
active
and the value can be modified
by turning the front panel knobs. Fields that don't have a dedicated knob (as do Vertical Level and
Horizontal Delay) can be modified using the Adjust knob.
If you have a keyboard installed, you can type entries in an active (highlighted) data entry field. Or, you
can touch again, then "type" the entry by touching keys on the virtual keypad or keyboard.
