The Snapshot and Clear Trace Functions
≡
For a description of this function, refer to page 1-22.

Function
Snapshot
This function retains the waveforms currently displayed on the screen. It also enables update of
the display without stopping acquisition. Hence it is very useful when you want to compare
waveforms.
The following operations are not available for snapshot waveforms.
• Cursor measurements and automatic measurements
• Zoom and math operations
• Output to external plotter or other location
• Move the vertical position of the waveform
• Set the offset voltage
• Save the waveform data
• Display the X-Y waveform
Clear trace
This function clears every waveform currently displayed on the screen.
If the trace is cleared while waveform acquisition is in progress, it is restarted from the first
trace.
The
SNAP SHOT key and CLEAR TRACE key are not operative in the following
cases.
• The instrument is in remote state, controlled via the GP-IB interface.
• The instrument is in operation, for example, it is in the process of printing out or performing
auto set-up.
Operating Procedure
Snapshot
Press the
SNAP SHOT
key. The snap shot process will start.
Clear trace
Press the
CLEAR
key. The clear trace process will start.
Averaging and measurement will also be started from the scratch. (The count is reset
to “0”.)
