To use
Click the Autoset control to perform an autoset on the signal.
Click the Autofit control to turn the minimize hits function on or off.
Click the Config control to access the Autoset (see page 214) or Autofit (see page 215) Configuration
control window.
Behavior
Clicking the Autoset control automatically aligns th e mask based on the characteristics o f the input signal.
This function is done once, and that setting is not changed until you run the autoset command again or
until you change any settings. This is the same as pushing the front-panel Autoset control.
When Autofit is used, the signal is aligned within the mask to minimize the number of hits on each
acquisition. Settings may change after each acquisition when autofit is used.
NOTE. The interaction between Autofit and Persistence can affect the display of persistence data. Autofit
moves the waveform vertically and/or horizontally to reduce the number of hits within a g iven mask. If
either infinite or variable persistence is enabled, these movements will clear any persistence data. If
Autofit makes frequent adjustments, there can be little or no persistence data.
Clicking the Autoset Config button will replace the control window with the Autoset Mask Configuration
control window. Clicking the AutofitConfig control will replace this control window with the Autofit
Mask Configuration control window.
