waveforms; measurements).
From the Math Setup control window,
click Displ

toggle the math waveform display on
and off.
Reference: Ref <1-4> Define an active reference waveform
by:
Saving a c
hannel, reference, or
math waveform to one of loc ations
Ref1 – Ref4.
Recalling a w aveform previously
saved to
a file into one of locations
Ref1 – Ref4.
Perform these operations from the

In general, the method of adjusting (vertically scaling, offsetting, positioning, and so on) the waveform
display is from the front-panel vertical Scale and Position knobs. Note that math and reference waveforms
are scaled and positioned from their setup control windows.
For channel waveforms, the vertical and horizontal controls that you set also adjust the instrument
acquisition parameters. See the following for more information:
Vertical Acquisition Window Considerations. (see page 681)
Horizontal Acquisition Window C onsiderations. (see page 684)
To change the size of the acquisition waveform and zoomed waveform windows, select the Graticule
Size in the Zoom Setup control window. The 50-50 selection allocates half of the available display for
the zoomed graticule and half of the available d isplay for the acquisition window. The 80-20 selection
allocates 80% of the available display for the zoomed graticule and 20% for the acquisition window. Select
Full to use the entire display for the zoomed graticule.
The display elements are the same for each graticule.
