8.64.4 Channel Icon
The Channel icons (variable) identify the channel numbers (1 to 4).
Selecting an icon opens the trace setup menu. See
on page 101.

8.64.5 Probe Icon
The Probe icons (variable) allows you to change the type of probe for the
test you are performing. Selecting an icon opens the probe setup menu.
Changing the probe, also changes the vertical scale to the applicable type
of measurement.

8.64.6 Peak Detect Icon
Peak Detect allows you to maximize the signal sampling rate in order to
capture fast events, such as spikes, glitches and other anomalies, that
may normally be undetected.
Peak Detect Icons (Typical)
On (Sampling maximized)
Peak Detect Off
When peak detect is off, the scope samples at a high rate but saves just enough
sample points to the data buffer memory to plot a waveform across the screen. No
preference is given to any point during the selection process.
