Signal Display Grid
The grid area displays the waveform traces. It is sectioned into 10 Horizontal (Time) divisions and 8 Vertical
(Voltage) divisions.
By default, the oscilloscope divides the screen into a maximum of three grids, one each for
channels/memories, math functions, and zooms. All traces of the same type appear on the same grid.
Three other grid layouts are available: Single Grid, which displays all traces on the same grid, XY Grid, which
puts the oscilloscope in XY mode, and XY Single Grid, which creates one XY grid and one single grid for the
rest of your traces.
Different types of traces opening in separate grids.
Adjusting Grid Brightness
You can adjust the brightness of the grid lines to make either the grid or traces more visible. Go to Display >
Display Setup and enter a new Grid Intensity percentage. The higher the number, the brighter and bolder the
grid lines.
Grid Indicators
These indicators appear outside the grid to mark important points on the display. They are matched to the
color of the trace to which they apply.
Trigger Position - A small triangle along the bottom (horizontal) edge of the grid shows the time the
oscilloscope is set to trigger an acquisition. Unless Delay is set, this indicator is at the zero (center)
point of the grid. Trigger Delay is shown at the top right of the Timebase descriptor box.
