File from the resulting side menu.
To simplify the setup of the test source, save the oscilloscope setup so that later you can quickly reload the s ettings to
correctly display the test source for limit tes ting.
Have the mask automatically re-scale with the s ource channel setting changes by selecting Set Up Mask on the lower
