Setup for ARINC 429 Signals

Setup consists of first connecting the oscilloscope to a ARINC 429 signal
using a differential active probe (the Agilent N2791A is recommended),
then using the Signals Menu to specify the signal source, the high and low
trigger threshold voltage levels, the signal speed, and the signal type.
To set up the oscilloscope to capture ARINC 429 signals:
