Working With Traces
Traces are the visible representations of waveforms that appear on the display grid. They may show live
inputs (Cn, Digitaln), a math function applied to a waveform (Fn), a stored memory of a waveform (Mn), a
zoom of a waveform (Zn), or the processing results of special analysis software.
Traces are a touch screen object like any other and can be manipulated. They can be panned, moved,
labeled, zoomed, and captured in different visual formats for printing/reporting.
Each visible trace will have a descriptor box summarizing its principal configuration settings.
Although several traces may be open, only one trace is active and can be adjusted using front panel
controls and touch screen gestures. A highlighted descriptor box indicates which trace is active. All
actions apply to that trace until you activate another. Touch a trace descriptor box to make it the active
trace (and the foreground trace in that grid).
Active trace descriptor (left), inactive trace descriptor (right).
Whenever you activate a trace, the dialog at the bottom of the screen automatically switches to the
appropriate setup dialog.
Active descriptor box matches active dialog tab.
