14. CH4 Status Label 
  Display the on/off status of CH4. When it is on, the status label is 
highlighted. 
  Display the vertical scale of CH4 (namely the voltage value per grid of the 
CH4 waveform in the vertical direction). You can use VIRTICAL 
  SCALE 
under CH4 to modify this parameter. 
  Different labels may be displayed according to the current channel setting. 
For example, 
 is displayed when the channel coupling (refer to “To 
Specify the Channel Coupling”) is AC; 
 is displayed when the 
bandwidth limit (refer to “To Specify the Bandwidth Limit”) is enabled; 
 is displayed when the input impedance (refer to “To Specify the Input 
Impedance”) is 50 Ω. 
 
15. Message Box 
Display the prompt messages. 
 
16. Digital Channel Status Area 
Display the current on/off statuses of the 16 digital channels (D15 to D0 from 
left to right). The active digital channel is highlighted in red and the other digital 
channels currently turned on are displayed in green. The digital channels turned 
off are displayed in gray. 
 
Note: This function is only applicable to MSO4000 series oscilloscope.  
 
17. Notification Area 
Display the system time, sound icon, USB storage device icon and PictBridge 
printer icon. 
  System Time: displayed in “hh:mm (hour:minute)” format. When printing 
or storing the waveform, the output file will contain this time information. 
Press Utility  System  System Time  System Time to set the 
system time in the following format.  
yyyy-mm-dd  hh:mm:ss (year-month-date  hour:minute:second) 
  Sound Icon: when beeper is turned on, 
 is displayed. Press Utility  
Sound to turn the beeper on or off. 
  USB Storage Device Icon: when the oscilloscope detects a USB storage 
device,   is displayed.
