Hard Copy - Tektronix TDS3012C User Manual

Reference
Push the Gated By Screen button to Select the Z (gate) Source Channel.
The general purpose knob sets the Z-channel threshold level. Z-channel
signals above the set threshold are true and open the XY signal gate;
Z-channel signals below the set threshold are false and close the XY
signal gate. The gating channel is always a high-true logic; to emulate
a low-true gating logic, use the Vertical menu to invert the Z-channel
signal.
XY and XYZ Cursors.
