To reposition a digital channel

1The Digital Select key is located on the front panel, just to the right of the display. Press either the up symbol or the down symbol on the Digital Select key ( ) to select the channel you want to move. The selected channel is highlighted in red.

The “select” feature can also be used to highlight one of the digital channels for easy viewing.

2Press either the up symbol or the down symbol on the

Digital Position key, which is located below the Digital Select and D15 Thru D0 keys. This moves the displayed channel up or down.

When two or more channels are displayed at the same vertical position, the channel label will be D*. When you select this position, a pop up will appear showing a list of the overlaid channels. Use the Digital Select key to select the desired channel within the pop up. The selected channel will be highlighted in red.

If Labels are turned on, the label of the highlighted signal will appear on top. If none of the signals are highlighted, you will see a bus symbol with a number that indicates how many signals are overlapped.

You can move several channels to a single position to bus several signals together on the display.

Note that the Digital Select key ( )is different from the Entry knob . The Digital Select key is only used to highlight (select) a digital channel for repositioning. The Entry knob’s
