Descriptor labels are also displayed for the math trace, zoom traces, and memory
(reference waveform) traces. These descriptor labels are only displayed when
their traces are turned ON.
Message Bar
At the bottom of the oscilloscope display is a narrow message bar. The current
date and time are displayed at the far right. Status, error, or other messages are
also shown in this area.
Alternative Access Methods
The front panel and display controls provide the most common ways to access
your oscilloscope's capability. However, the instrument often gives you more than
one way to access dialogs and to make changes.
Top Menu Bar
If you prefer to drive the oscilloscope with the familiarity of Windows, you might
prefer to access dialogs from the menu bar at the top of the display. This opens
dialog boxes at the bottom of the screen, where adjustments can be made.
The dialog area occupies the bottom one-third of the display. Expand the signal
display area by minimizing each dialog by touching the Close tab at the right of the
dialog box.
In some limited cases, the menu bar is the only way to access certain functionality,
but generally speaking, the most common oscilloscope functionality can be
controlled from the front panel.

are indicated below the title bar.
Touch the trigger descriptor label once to open the software
