2. Reference waveforms and waveforms with persistence applied
appear gray.
3. A broken line appearance indicates the waveform display
accuracy is uncertain. This is the result of stopping the acquisi-
tion and then changing a control setting that the instrument
cannot modify the displayed waveform to match. For example,
changing the trigger controls on a stopped acquisition causes a
broken-line waveform.
