l
ower case letters a to z, an underscore _ or a square bracket [ or ].  
• For all other characters of a trace name, the numbers 0 to 9 can be used in addition. 
Furthermore, trace names must be unique across different channels and windows. 
The analyzer does not accept illegal trace names. If an illegal name is specified, the input field in the 
Trace Manager turns red.

Add/Delete 
Opens a dialog to add a new trace or delete a trace. 
• Add creates a new trace and adds it to the list in the Trace Manager, assigning it to the channel 
and diagram area selected in the drop-down lists. It is possible to create a New channel and/or 
diagram area for the new trace.  
• Delete deletes the selected trace, removing it from the list in the Trace Manager and from the 
screen. This button is disabled if the setup contains only one trace: In manual control, each setup 
must contain at least one diagram area with one channel and one trace.

Coupling     
Selects common channel or scale settings for all traces in the Trace Manager dialog. 
The channel and scale coupling is set in two independent panels. 
• Decouple All assigns independent channel or scale settings to all traces in the Trace Manager. If 
the channel and trace names include numbers, the trace with the lowest number is assigned to 
the channel with the lowest number and so forth. Measurement or data traces and their 
associated memory traces are assigned to the same channel.
