Double-tap a Mask Test badge to open its configuration menu to change or refine settings.
Y
ou can drag the badge to change its position in the Results bar and open the badge right click menu to access a quick-action menu.
There are two ways to delete Channel and Waveform badges.
• Right-click the badge and turn it off.
• Flick the badge off the right edge of the display to remove it from the Results bar. Flicking left from the right edge of the Results bar
recovers the badge. Badge recovery is only possible within 10 seconds of removal.

Search badges
Search badges are also shown in the Results Bar, below the Measurement badges. A search badge lists the search source, search type,
and the number of search event occurrences in the current acquisition. The instrument marks the waveform where those events occur with
small down-pointing triangles along the top of the waveform graticule. Double-tap a search badge to open its configuration menu to change
or refine search settings.
Search badges are created by tapping the Search button. Use the displayed configuration menu to set the search criteria.
Search badges have < (Previous) and > (Next) Navigation buttons that open the Zoom mode and center the waveform in the display at the
position of the previous or next search mark in the waveform record. Search badge Navigation buttons are only usable when acquisitions
are stopped.
You can drag or flick a Search badge to the right, off the display, to delete it. You can bring the badge back by swiping in from the right.
Signal clipping and badges
Clipping causes inaccurate amplitude-related measurement results. Clipping also causes inaccurate amplitude values in saved waveform
files. If a math waveform is clipped, it will not af
fect amplitude measurements on that math waveform.
WARNING: Clipping is caused by excessive or dangerous voltages at the probe tip and/or a vertical scale setting that is not
adequate to display the entire vertical range of the waveform. Excessive voltage at the probe tip can injure the operator and cause
damage to the probe and/or instrument.
This instrument shows a warning triangle symbol and the word Clipping in a Channel badge when a vertical clipping condition exists. Any
measurement badges associated with that channel also indicate a clipping condition.
To close the clipping message, change the vertical scale to show the entire waveform, disconnect the probe tip from the excessive voltage
source, and check that you are probing the correct signal using the correct probe.
