Using the Oscilloscope
Menu Control and Menus
The display looks like Figure 18 and Figure 19, including a menu bar,
measurement toolbar (if enabled), and graphical controls for vertical,
horizontal, trigger, and acquisition.
You can use the menu bar for most oscilloscope configuration functions.
Context- sensitive menus, which pop up to provide a selection of
commands within particular regions of the user interface, are available in
the following regions:
• Memory bar.
• Waveform display area.
• Measurement toolbar.
• Horizontal and acquisition controls.
You display a context- sensitive menu by clicking the right mouse button
with the pointer in one of these regions. For more information on
context- sensitive menus, see

Vertical Settings and Controls The top of the waveform display area includes
the vertical settings and controls. All channels are shown with the
corresponding vertical scaling settings in volts per division. Each has a
checkbox allowing you to turn that channel on or off, and a set of controls
allowing you to change the vertical scaling. Clicking directly on the vertical
scaling value displays a pop- up numeric keypad allowing you to set a
precise vertical scale.
Horizontal and Trigger Toolbar
At the bottom of the waveform display area is the horizontal and trigger
toolbar. This toolbar includes the run/stop controls, the horizontal
controls, and the trigger controls.
