3.Click the trace of interest to activate it.

NOTE: Only the active trace in an overlay is affected by processing tools. However, all traces are affected by zooming functions.

Hint: A toolbar button is available to toggle between Overlay and Undo Overlay mode. See “Customizing

toolbars” on page 1-21for information. The button is located in the Graph category.
