More Information

When a trace becomes inactive, the following things happen:
• Any update from the SENSe system (detectors) immediately stops (does not wait for end of sweep)
• the trace is displayed at half intensity (as long as it stays inactive)
Inactive traces display across the entire X Axis of the instrument. Their horizontal placement does not
change even if X Axis settings subsequently are changed, although Y-axis settings will affect the vertical
placement of data.
In most cases, inactive traces are static and unchanging; however, there are cases when an inactive trace
will update, specifically:
• if trace data is loaded from mass storage
• if the trace is the target of a Copy
When a trace becomes active (Update=On), the trace is cleared, the average count is reset, and a new
sweep is initiated.
Traces which are blanked (Display=off) do not display nor appear on printouts but are otherwise
unaffected. They may be queried and markers may be placed on them.
Note that the action of putting a trace in Display=Off and/or Update=Off does not restart the sweep and
does not restart Averaging or Hold functions for any traces.
Note also that whenever you set Update to On for any trace, Display is set to On for that trace.
Copy Trace 1 To Trace 2
This function copies the trace data from Trace 1 to Trace 2 and puts trace 2 into View (Update=Off,
Display=On).
