3.5MODE SWITCHING BETWEEN ANALOG AND DIGITAL OPERATING MODES

You can use the yellow ANALOG key to switch from the analog mode to the digital mode and back at any time. The signal acquisition and display functions of both operating modes are very similar. However, the nature of the signals you are using may determine which operating mode you prefer to use. For more information, refer to the following table:
