Grid Mode
The grid is 8 Vertical divisions representing 256 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.

Levels
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 new grid for each new type of trace—(analog) channel, zoom, or math function—and
closes the grid when no longer needed. All traces of the same type appear on the same grid.
You can also choose to display all traces on a
Single
grid, or one of the
XY
grid modes that combine a frequency-time trace with the level-time traces.
To modify the touch screen display, choose
Display > Display Setup
from the menu bar and make your selections from the Display dialog.
