The sweep signal is displayed as a trace on the screen.

This series allows for up to four traces to be displayed at the same time, and each trace has its
own color. All traces can be set freely except Trace 4 (a math operation trace that can only be
obtained using the other three traces). Select Trace 1, Trace 2 or Trace 3 to set the corresponding
parameters. The default trace and type is Trace 1 and Clear Write.
Trace Type
Set the type of the current trace or disable it. The system calculates the sample data using a
specific operation method according to the trace type selected and displays the result. Trace
types contain Clear Write, Max Hold, Min Hold, Video Avg, Power Avg and Freeze. The
corresponding icon of the trace type will be displayed in the status bar at the left of the screen.
Take Trace 1 (Green) as an example and the icons are as shown in the figure below.
