Oscilloscope Reference Customizable display elements
Gray (Monochrome Gray). Displays waveforms in shades of gray. Areas of the waveform with the
highest sample density appear in lighter gray shades and the a reas of lowest sample density appear
in darker gray
shades.
Green (Monochrome Green). Displays waveforms in shades of green. Areas of the waveform with
the highest s
ample density appear in lighter green shades and the areas of lowest sample density
appear in darker green shades.
Date and Tim
e:
Access these elements through the Display menu Objects command, Display menu Display Date & Time
command, o
r Display Setup control window Objects tab Disp toolbar button):
Toggle. Alternates the display of the date and time on the graticule. To set the time and date, use
the Utili
ties menu Set Time & Date command.
Display Format:
Access these elements through the Display Appearance or Display Format commands, the Display toolbar
button, or the Display Setup Control Window Appearance tab:
XY or YT Formatting. For additional information, see Display Format (see page 170).
Display Pers istence:
Access these elements through the Display menu Display Persistence submenu commands or Display
Setup control window Appearance tab ( Disp toolbar button):
Infinite persistence. Continuously accumulates record points on the waveform until you change
one of the acquisition display settings. Use for displaying points that may occur outside the n ormal
acquisition envelope.
Variable persistence. Accumulates record points on the waveform for a specified time interval. Each
record point decays independently according to the time interval.
Off. Shows waveform record points for the current acquisition only. Each new waveform record
replaces the previously acquired record for a channel.
Display Style:
Access these elements through the Display menu Display Style submenu commands or Display Setup
control window Appearance tab ( Disp toolbar button):
Vectors. Displays waveforms with lines drawn between record points.
Dots. Displays waveform record points as dots on the screen.
IntenSamp(Intensified Samples). Shows the actual samples on interpolated waveforms.
Graticule Style:
Access these elements through the Display menu Graticule Style command or Display Setup control
window Objects tab Disp toolbar button):
Full. Provides a grid, cross hairs, and frame on the instrument display. Use for quick estimates of
waveform parameters.
