Display Formatting
By default, the sent/received trace strings are shown in ASCII format. They can,
however, be modified to display in hexadecimal and to include a prefixed time stamp, as
shown in the following screen.
Two soft keys at the bottom of the trace screen operate in a toggle mode to control the
display format, that is, Show As ASCII/Hexadecimal and Show/Hide Time Stamp.
Clearing a Trace
There are two ways to clear the trace buffer (and screen):
1. Power the Instrument off and then on.
2. Press the Clear Trace soft key (present while the GPIB Trace screen is active).
