To define a new label

1Press the Label key.

2Press the Channel softkey, then turn the Entry knob or successively press the softkey to select a channel for label assignment.

The channel does not have to be turned on to have a label assigned to it. If the channel is turned on, its current label will be highlighted.

3Press the Spell softkey, then turn the Entry knob to select the first character in the new label.

Turning the Entry knob selects a character to enter into the highlighted position shown in the "New label =" line above the softkeys and in the Spell softkey. Labels can be up to six characters in length.

4Press the Enter softkey to enter the selected character and to go to the next character position.

You may position the highlight on any character in the label name by successively pressing the Enter softkey.

5To delete a character from the label, press the Enter softkey until the letter you want to delete is highlighted, then press the Delete Character softkey.

6When you are done entering characters for the label, press the Apply New Label softkey to assign the label to the selected channel.

When you define a new label, it is added to the nonvolatile label list.

Label Assignment Auto-Increment Features

When you assign a label ending in a digit, such as ADDR0 or DATA0, the oscilloscope automatically increments the digit and displays the modified label in the “New label” field after you press the Apply New Label softkey. Therefore, you only need to select a new channel and press the Apply New Label softkey again to assign the label to the channel. Only the original label is saved in the label list. This feature makes it easier to assign successive labels to numbered control lines and data bus lines.
