Grid Mode
The grid is 8 Vertical divisions representing 4096 Vertical levels and 10
Horizontal time divisions. The value represented by each division depends
on the scale settings of the traces that appear on it.

The grid area can contain multiple grids, each representing the full
number of Vertical levels, so vertical precision is always maintained.

By default, the oscilloscope has the
Auto
grid mode enabled. Auto adds a
grid for each new trace, up to 20 grids, until no more grids are available. Other
grid modes create a fixed number and orientation of grids; the icon shows
the result.
To modify the touch screen display, choose
Display > Display Setup
from the
menu bar and make your selections from the Display dialog.
Extended Display
If you have a second monitor connected, select
Extend Grids on 2nd
Monitor
from the Display dialog, then choose a grid style from the Extended
Display pop-up menu. Both displays will share this grid style. Drag-and-drop
descriptor boxes to move traces between the displays.
