Normal and Persistence Displays. Use the display persistence to control how

waveform data ages:

HOff style displays waveforms without persistence: each new waveform

record replaces the previously acquired record for a channel. You can choose

to display normal waveforms as vectors, which displays lines between the

record points or dots (vectors off) which displays the record points only. You

can also choose an interpolation mode. See Interpolation on page 3--141.

HVariable Persistence style accumulates the waveform-record points on screen

and displays them only for a specific time interval. Previous waveform data

continuously fades from the display as new waveform records acquire.

HInfinite Persistence style accumulates the data record points until you change

some control (such as scale factor) causing the display to be erased.

Waveform data builds up as new data records acquire.
