4 In the Enter New Label dialog box, select keys to enter the text of the label:
• When the front panel [Touch] key is lit, you can touch the screen to select.
• If a USB mouse is connected, you can click to select.
• If a USB keyboard is connected, you can type to enter text.
When you are done entering text, select OK.
5 The new label can be assigned to the selected Source and added to the library
by selecting Apply New Label.
Label Assignment
Auto-Increment
When you assign a label ending in a digit, such as ADDR0 or DATA0, the
oscilloscope automatically increments the digit and displays the modified label in
the "New Label" field after you select Apply New Label. Therefore, you only need to
select a new Source and select Apply New Label again to assign the label to the
waveform. Only the original label is saved in the label list. This feature makes it
easier to assign successive labels to numbered control lines and data bus lines.
To load a list of labels from a text file you create
It may be convenient to create a list of labels using a text editor, then load the
label list into the oscilloscope. The list can have up to 75 labels. When loaded,
labels are added to the beginning of the oscilloscope's list. If more than 75 labels
are loaded, only the first 75 are stored.
To load labels from a text file into the oscilloscope:
1 Use a text editor to create each label. Each label can be up to 32 characters in
length. Separate each label with a line feed.
2 Name the file labellist.txt and save it on a USB mass storage device such as a
thumb drive.
3 Load the list into the oscilloscope using the File Explorer (from the menu
choose File > File Explorer...).
Label List Management
When you select the Library drop-down list, you will see a list of the last 75 labels used. The
list does not save duplicate labels. Labels can end in any number of trailing digits. As long as
the base string is the same as an existing label in the library, the new label will not be put in
the library. For example, if label A0 is in the library and you make a new label called A12345,
the new label is not added to the library.
When you save a new user-defined label, the new label will replace the oldest label in the list.
Oldest is defined as the longest time since the label was last assigned to a waveform. Any time
you assign any label to a waveform, that label will move to the newest in the list. Thus, after
you use the label list for a while, your labels will predominate, making it easier to customize
the instrument display for your needs.
When you reset the label library list (see next topic), all of your custom labels will be deleted,
and the label list will be returned to its factory configuration.
