Varying the intensity to view signal detail
The Intensity knob lets you adjust the plotted waveforms to
account for various signal characteristics, such as fast sweep
speeds and low trigger rates. Increasing the intensity lets you
see the maximum amount of noise and infrequently occurring
events. Reducing the intensity can expose more detail in
complex signals as shown in the following figures.
