14. Utility Key Press this key to access the Utility menu, which
lets you configure the oscilloscope’s I/O settings, printer
configuration, file explorer, service menu, and other options.
15. Trigger Controls These controls determine how the

“Triggering the Oscilloscope,” starting on page 125.
16. Run Controls Press Run/Stop to make the oscilloscope begin
looking for a trigger. The Run/Stop key will illuminate in green.
If the trigger mode is set to “Normal,” the display will not
