manipulated before being displayed. The analyser updates each trace
according to the type of trace used.

Hold Max / Hold Min: The maximum or minimum points are maintained
for the selected trace. The trace points are updated each sweep if new

threshold are kept.

for the selected trace. Pressing View[F5] will display the trace data that
was cleared using the Blank[F6] key.
