Define Custom Colors menu
Use this menu to change the colors used to display channel, math, and reference waveforms in the W
aveform view. You can set custom
waveform colors for both Normal and Inverted display modes.
To open the Define Custom Colors menu:
1. Tap Utility > User Preferences to open the configuration menu.
2. Tap Define Custom Colors in the Display panel.
Define Custom Colors menu fields and controls
Field or control Description
Normal Display Colors Use this menu to change the waveform colors to use when the instrument is in Normal display mode.
Channels sets the colors used to display instrument channels.
Maths sets the colors used to display math waveforms.
Refs sets the colors used to display reference waveforms.
T
o change a color, tap a channel, math, or reference color to open a color menu and select a new
color. The waveform immediately changes to the selected color if the display is in Normal mode. The
color menu stays open to let you experiment with different waveform colors. Tap outside the color
menu to close it.
Inverted Display Colors Use this menu to change the waveform colors to use when the instrument is in Inverted display mode.
Channels sets the colors used to display instrument channels.
Maths sets the colors used to display math waveforms.
Refs sets the colors used to display reference waveforms.
To change a color, tap a channel, math, or reference color to open a color menu and select a new
color. The waveform immediately changes to the selected color if the display is in Inverted mode.
The color menu stays open to let you experiment with different waveform colors. Tap outside the color
menu to close it.
The colors for Math waveforms 1-8 are reused for Math waveforms 9-16, 17-24, and so on.
The colors for Ref waveforms 1-8 are reused for Ref waveforms 9-16, 17-24, and so on.
Set All Normal Display Colors
to Default
Sets all Normal display mode waveform colors to their factory default settings.
Set All Inverted Display Colors

Custom waveform color guidelines
•
There are 48 colors from which to choose.
• There are no restrictions on assigning colors. You can assign different colors to different waveforms, or the same color to many
waveforms.
• Changing a waveform color automatically changes all indicators that use that waveform's color (channel handles, vertical scale
readout, signal badges, measurement badges, front-panel control LED colors, and so on).
• Waveform color settings are saved as part of waveform, setup, and session save actions.
• You cannot change Bus waveform colors.
