The Front Panel houses "hard" controls for basic oscilloscope functions. See the later sections of this
manual for instructions on using the touch screen to make the settings described here.
All the knobs on the front panel function one way if turned and
another if pushed like a button. The top label describes the
knob’s “turn” action, the bottom label its “push” action.
Front panel buttons light up to indicate which traces and
functions are active. Actions performed from the front panel
always apply to the active trace.
