Time slider in instruments with fixed scale
If an instrument can only display a fixed scale, the time slider can only be used
for scrolling and synchronization. The missing zooming capability of the instru-
ment is represented in the time slider by a blue line. This blue line marks the
timestamp currently shown in the instrument.

5.9.1 Synchronizing Instruments
If several instruments exist in a configuration, you can synchronize them.
Instruments can be distinguished into instruments with variable scale and
fixed scale. For more information, see "Time Navigation and Synchronization"
on the previous page.
Synchronization of different instrument types
If you want to synchronize these two different types of instruments with each
other, the following recommendation applies: Start the synchronization from
an instrument with variable scale. Then, the zooming level of each syn-
chronized instrument with variable scale is adapted to this first instrument.
If you start the synchronization from an instrument with fixed scale, the cur-
rent timestamp is used. All cursors in instruments with variable scale are
removed and one new synchronization cursor is created. The zooming level of
each synchronized instrument with variable scale remains the same as before.
