Display
Display turns the channel display off and on. When the channel display is on,
a waveform is displayed for that channel, unless the offset is adjusted so that
the waveform is cMpped off the display. Also, the channel number, vertical
scaling, and offset are displayed at the bottom left of the waveform area.
They stay displayed until the channel is turned off, or until an automatic
measurement is performed. The automatic measurement results share the
same area of the display as the channel setups.
When the channel display is off, the waveform display for that channel is
turned off. Also, acquisition on that channel is stopped, unless it is needed as
an operand for waveform math functions, and any pulse parameter
measurements are stopped.
Even though the channel display is off, you can still use the plug-in as a
trigger source or as a function source in the math menu. However, the
oscilloscope will not trigger unless one or more of the other channel displays
are turned on, or unless a math function is using one of the channels.
Scale
Scale controls the vertical scaling of the signal. If the fine mode is off, then
the knob and arrow keys change the vertical scaling in a 1-2-5 sequence.
When the fine mode is on (shift-down arrow), the knob and arrow keys
change the vertical scaling in 1-mV increments. You can always use the
keypad to enter values in 1-mV increments independent of the fine mode
selection. Software expansion is used to obtain the scale values not in the
1-2-5 sequence, and from 1 mV/div to 10 mV/div.
