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.
