Display and Utility Menus. Using the techniques described for using menus, you

can access and change functions in the display menu and utilities menu. In the

Display menu, you can set the following functions:

H Color: waveforms, readouts, graticule

H Intensity: waveforms, readouts, graticule, etc.

H Style of waveform display(s): vectors or dots, intensified or nonintensified

samples, and infinite or variable persistence

H Display format: XY or YT

H Graticule format: type

H Waveform interpolation filter and readout options

From the Utility menu, you can configure the GPIB port (talk/listen, address,

etc.) and access internal routines for self diagnostics and self compensation.

Instructions for setting up communication over the GPIB are found in Section 5,

Adjustment Procedures.
