9.7.2 Main Body of the Screen
The main body of the screen varies depending on what display options have been
selected. Up to four traces, along with digital readouts of current signal values,
signal status and triggering conditions, can be displayed simultaneously on the
main body of the screen. Adjustments to the display are made through the scope
toolbar as explained above.
Each trace is displayed as voltage over time on a standard oscilloscope screen.
Voltage level is recorded on the vertical, or “y-axis” and time is presented on the
horizontal, or “x-axis” of the screen. Values are shown for each graduation on the
scales.
When using transducers, the pressure being sensed by the transducer is converted
into a voltage signal. However, the values are shown as pressure on the display
screen rather than voltage.
9.8 Setup Menu (Preferences)
Selecting Setup (upper toolbar) opens a menu including the
following options:

9.8.1 Trace Controls Menu
Trace controls are used to adjust individual characteristics of how the signal is
sampled and displayed for each of the four traces.

To adjust trace controls using the menu:
1.
Select

(upper toolbar).
The Scope Multimeter Preferences dialog box opens.
2.

5— Auto Find -
Sets the scope to sample the signal and internally calculate the
best way to display it.
- A scale and the vertical position for the zero line of the trace that allows
the whole waveform to fit on the screen is established when Auto Find is
selected.
- If Auto Find is selected on an armed trigger, it also sets the trigger level
halfway between the minimum and maximum value of the signal to
provide a stable waveform.
6— Zero Baseline Adjustment -
use the slider and arrows to precisely adjust
the zero baseline
7— Back -
closes the dialog box to return to the Preferences dialog box
8— Exit -
closes the dialog box and returns to the scope
