area.
• Delete Channel deletes the active channel.
• Channel Manager opens a dialog to perform the previous actions systematically, rename

Active and inactive traces and channels
A window can display several diagram areas simultaneously, each with a variable number of traces.
One of these traces is active at each time. The active trace is highlighted in the trace list on top of the
active diagram area (Trc 4 in the figure below):
A mouse click onto a trace in the list selects the trace as the active trace. Alternatively, use the
functions of the Trace – Traces menu.
The active channel is the channel belonging to the active trace. The channels of all traces in a diagram
area are listed at the bottom of the diagram, together with the Stimulus values and the display colors of
all traces. The active channel is highlighted (Ch1 in the example below, with two associated traces).
A mouse click onto a trace in the trace list selects the channel associated to the trace as the active
channel. Channels with no traces are not indicated in the diagram areas but can be accessed via the
Channel Manager.
