Keysight Technologies N6705C - Data Logger and Scope Display Differences

Data Logger and Scope Display Differences
The Scope View and Data Logger displays are similar in many respects, such as the way traces are
displayed, how traces are selected, and the marker controls - to name a few. This similarity makes it
easier to program each function.
However, there are important differences in the Scope and Data Logger displays that may not be
obvious at first glance. To help eliminate confusion when using both Scope and Data Logger, the
following table lists the major differences in the display functions.
