Automatic Source Selection
for Automatic Measurements
Yes Yes Yes Measurements, if selected from Measurements toolbar, use the
selected waveform as the measurement target.
Automatic Target Selection for
Cursors
Yes Yes Yes If cursors are off, pushing the Cursor button on the front panel turns
cursors on with the selected waveform as their target.
Quick Horizontal Scale Adjust
(Zoom)
Yes No No Dragging a box around a portion of the selected waveform adjusts
horizontal scale to fill the screen with the boxed portion (see
Quick-adjust the time base on page 3--63).

Graticules. One graticule is displayed for the Main time base, and an additional

graticule is displayed for each Mag time base that you turn on. Figure 3--16 on

page 3--54 shows the elements of the time base graticules; the elements are the

same for each time base displayed.

Using Multiple Views. The methods of displaying (turning on) and selecting any

time base view follow:

HTurn the view on: Press the Mag1 or Mag2 front-panel button once to turn on

the Mag1 or Mag2 time base. The Main view is always (displayed); you

cannot turn it off. Turning on a time base makes it active (selects it for

adjustment).

HSelect among displayed views: Press any time base view button to make it

the active, selected time base. The button of the selected view is always lit

amber.

HTurn off the selected Mag view: Once selected, press the Mag1 or Mag2

button to turn off the time base. The Main time base becomes the selected

time base.

Operations on the Selected Time Base View. The method of adjusting (horizontal

scaling and positioning, setting resolution/record length, and so on) is from the

front panel: select the time base using the Horizontal time base selection buttons,
