Using Persistence - Tektronix TDS1000B Series Operator's Manual

Using Persistence

You use the Persist mode to allow old waveform data to
remain visible with the current waveform data on the
oscilloscope display. You can use persistence to track
infrequent signal anomalies that accumulate in the
oscilloscope display.
You can set persistence for 1, 2, and 5 seconds, or for an
infinite period.
The following procedure enables you to simultaneously view
both old and new waveforms by using the Persist Infinite
mode.
To select a persistence period for a displayed
waveform, follow these steps:
1. Push the appropriate side-screen menu button until you
select Persist Infinite.

This procedure assumes that the oscilloscope
retains the settings from the previous procedure.
