TDS 684A, TDS 744A, & TDS 784A User Manual
The channel reference indicator shows the vertical position of channel 1
with no input signal. This indicator points to the ground level for the channel
when its vertical offset is set to 0 V in the vertical menu; when vertical offset
is not set to 0 V, it points to the vertical offset level.
The trigger readout shows that the oscilloscope is triggering on channel 1
(Ch1) on a rising edge, and that the trigger level is about 200–300 mV.
The time base readout shows that the main time base is set to a horizontal
scale of 500 s/div.
The channel readout indicates that channel 1 (Ch1) is displayed with DC
coupling. (In AC coupling, ~ appears after the volts/div readout.) The
oscilloscope always displays channel 1 at reset.

Right now, the channel, time base, and trigger readouts appear in the graticule
area because a menu is displayed. You can press the CLEAR MENU button at
any time to remove any menus and to move the readouts below the graticule.
