criteria specified in step 4 is captured by the oscilloscope. {f the channel
and horizontal controls are set correctly, the signal will be displayed on
the screen and any measurement results will be recalculated.

on your application, you can press the Clear display key between
acquisitions, or you can allow the display to build a waveform.
To allow the waveform to build on the display, set the display persistence to
