Enabling or Disabling Coupled Scaling Mode

Enabling or Disabling Coupled Scaling Mode

When both the data and memory traces are displayed, the Agilent 4294A synchronizes the
scale settings between them so that changes made to the scale of either trace are
automatically applied to the other. This feature, which is called "coupled scaling mode," is
enabled by default when the Agilent 4294A is in its preset state. However, there will be
times when you want to apply different scale settings to each of the data and memory
traces. To do so, you need to disable coupled scaling mode. Use the following procedure to
turn on or off this feature.
Step 1. Activate the trace for which you want to turn on or off coupled scaling mode.

Description
Indicates that scaling mode is enabled
(enabling this mode causes the 4294A to
synchronize the scale settings between the data
and memory traces).
Indicates that coupled scaling mode is disabled
(disabling this mode allows you to set different
scale settings for each of the data and memory
traces).
