located above the soft keys.
• For a description of the operation using a USB
keyboard or a USB mouse, see section 4.3.
Snapshot
Press
SNAP SHOT
to take a snapshot of the screen.
Clearing Traces
Press
CLEAR TRACE
to clear the waveform.
Note
Pressing the SHIFT key followed by the SNAP SHOT key clears only the snapshot
waveforms.
Explanation
Snapshot
The snapshot function leaves the currently displayed waveform on the screen. You can
update the display without stopping the waveform acquisition. This function is useful in
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
• Computation
• Snapshot waveforms can be saved and loaded. For details, see section 12.7.
Clearing Traces
• You can clear all the waveforms that are currently displayed on the screen.
• If you execute CLEAR TRACE when waveforms are being acquired, waveform
acquisition is restarted (from the first acquisition).
• Loaded waveforms are not cleared. To clear loaded waveforms, perform an unload
operation.
Events That Disable the SNAP SHOT and CLEAR TRACE Keys
• When remote mode is engaged using the communication function.
• When printing, during auto setup, and while the storage medium is being accessed.
• When GO/NO-GO determination, action-on-trigger, or waveform search is in progress.
