Auto Plot

ON — Automatically plots acquisitions. The graticule and readouts are

plotted on the first acquisition only. The oscilloscope will wait for each plot to

finish before beginning another acquisition.

OFF — Disables Auto Plot.

XY Setup

XY Setup generates a pattern for calibrating analog X-Y plotter gain and

offset.

Start

The Start menu button initiates transmission of the waveform display over

the X-Y plotter or communications option.
