Display Contro
l Command Group
You use the c ommands in the Display Control Command Group to change the
graticule style, the displayed intensities, and to set the characteristics o f the
waveform disp
lay.
You can set the following:
Background color (default is black) and foreground color (default is silver).
Cursor, histogram, mask, and measurement annotation colors.
Whether cursor, histogram, mask, and measurement readouts are displayed.
Whether measurement annotations are displayed.
Whether waveforms are simply displayed in Normal mode as dots or vectors,
in Variable Persistence mode, or in Infinite Persistence mode.
Whether the instrument uses interpolation to increase sample density of
waveform for record lengths less than 500 points, and, if interpolation is
used, which type (Sin(x) or Linear).
The style of graticule that underlies the waveforms.
Use the commands to set the style that best displays your waveforms and
graticule display properties. The mode you choose globally affects all displayed
waveforms; fo
r example, you cannot set channel 1 to display in Normal mode and
channel 2 in Variable Persistence mode.
There are four graticule settings:
