Display Elements in the Diagram Area
The central part of the screen is occupied by one or several diagram areas.
Diagram Areas
A diagram area is a rectangular portion of the screen used to display traces. Diagram areas are
arranged in windows; they are independent of trace and channel settings. A diagram area can contain a
practically unlimited number of traces, assigned to different channels (overlay mode).
Diagram areas are controlled and configured by means of the functions in the Display menu and the
following additional settings:
• The settings in the Window menu arrange several windows containing one or more diagram
areas within the entire screen. Each window corresponds to a setup. Only one setup can be
active at a time, and only the traces of the active setup are updated by the current
measurements.
• Various settings to assign traces to diagram areas are provided in the Trace – Traces submenu.
Diagram areas may contain:
• Measurement results, in particular the traces and marker values
• An indication of the basic channel and trace settings
• Context menus providing settings related to the current screen
The examples in this section have been taken from Cartesian diagrams. All other diagram types
provide the same display elements.
