menus control less frequently changed parameters such as t he waveform display mode (for example, changing the
waveform display mode from RGB to YPbPr). To display a pop-up menu, press and hold the desired Display button
for about a second.
Instrument-wide settings. The parameters in the Con figuration menu are instrument-wide settings. The con figuration
menu controls settings that are changed only occasionally, such as changing waveform color or setting the network
address.
