acquisitions enabled. Stop = A cquisitions not enabled. Roll = roll mode (40 ms/div or slower). PreVu = The oscilloscope

next a cquisition will look like. A/B = When using the average acquisition mode, B shows the total number of acquisitions to
be averaged (set this using the Acquisition Mode side menu), and A shows the current progress towards this total number.
2. The trigger position icon s hows the trigger position in the acquisition.
3. The expansion point icon (an orange triangle) shows the point that the horizontal scale expands and compresses around.
