Snapshot
The snapshot function keeps the current displayed waveform on the screen. You can

situations such as when you wish to compare waveforms.
• You cannot perform the following operations on snapshot waveforms.
Cursor measurements, automated measurement of waveform parameters, zoom, and
computation
• Snapshot waveforms can be saved and loaded in bitmap format. (See section 14.9.)
Clearing Snapshots
Clears all the snapshot waveforms that are currently displayed on the screen.
Conditions That Disable the SNAP and SNAP CLEAR Keys
• When printing, during auto setup, and while the storage medium is being accessed.
• When GO/NO-GO determination, action-on-trigger, or search is in progress.
