LINK CURSOR [CURLK]
Links the screen cursors in Profile and Power vs. Time modes so that when one is
moved, both are moved. When the cursors are linked, a horizontal bar is drawn
between them on the screen. If one cursor is moved, the other cursor moves with it to
maintain their relative positions and time interval between them. When the cursors are
linked, the relative time positions are altered by adjusting the gate width in the
TRIGGER > SETUP > WIDTH submenu.
HOLD [HOLD]
In Profile, Power vs. Time, and Source Sweep modes the graph HOLD function allows a
graph to be held and printed. The key action is a toggle action, with the warning
message Graph Display HELD displayed at the top of the screen when HOLD is active.
Whenever measurement setup parameters are changed, graph hold will automatically
be released.
AUTO scale [GRAUTO]
Auto scale for all graphic modes (Profile, Source Sweep and Power vs. Time). In Profile
and Source Sweep modes, auto scale will be based on the min and max of the previous
profile or sweep.
