Explanation
HOLD
The Hold function is used when displaying measured waveforms with the upper and
lower portions of the screen having different wavelength ranges.
For example, after measuring trace A in the upper screen, you can hold the upper screen,
change measurement conditions, then measure trace B in the lower screen.
HOLD has the characteristics below. These are the same for the upper and lower splits.
• The display scale is fixed.
• The trace is fixed.
• When
HOLD
is applied to a screen with the active trace (
WRITE @
), the active
trace automatically changes to the FIX state. (
FIX @
)
• When a screen setting is changed from the HOLD state to
NORMAL DISPLAY
, the
last set display scale is set as the display scale.
• When a trace in the HOLD state (FIX state) is set to a state other than
FIX
,
the
HOLD
is cleared automatically. When this happens, a warning message is
displayed.
