Key Points
Waveform Dots and Vectors. With Dots Only set to off, the vectors
between samples can be filled; increase the Waveform Intensity control
to increase the am ount of vector fill between samples. The vector fill
is most visible on fast signal edg es or w hen th e h orizontal zoom
is turned on.
Turn Dots Only on if you want to see j ust the actual samples.
Waveform Persistence. Turn on waveform persistence to slow the decay
of wav efor m points. You can set the per sistence to a specifictimeorto
infinite. Infinite persistence keeps all waveform points in the display
until you change a control setting t hat erases the display.
