4. Double-tap a channel badge to open that channel's configuration menu to check or change settings.

Configure channel or waveform settings

Use the channel and waveform configuration menus to set parameters such as vertical scale and offset, coupling, bandwidth, probe
settings, deskew values, external attenuation values, and other settings.
Before you begin
Prerequisite: There is a channel or waveform badge in the Settings bar.
Procedure
1. Double-tap a Channel or Waveform badge to open a configuration menu for that item.
For example, in a Channel menu, use the Vertical Settings panel to set basic probe parameters such as vertical scale and position,
offset, coupling, termination, and bandwidth limit. Available settings depend on the probe.
