Intensity lets you set text/graticule and waveform intensity (brightness) levels.
To set the intensity:
Press DISPLAY ➞ Intensity (main) ➞ Text/Grat or Waveform (side). Enter
the intensity percentage values with the keypad or the general purpose knob.
All intensity adjustments operate over a range from 20% (close to fully off) to
100% (fully bright).
Readout options control whether the trigger indicator, trigger level bar, and
current date and time appear on the display. The options also control what style
trigger level bar, long or short, is displayed.
1. TDS 600B: Press DISPLAY ➞ Readout Options (main).
TDS 500B and TDS 700A Models: Press DISPLAY ➞ Mode (main) ➞
Normal (pop-up) ➞ Format/RO (main).
2. Toggle Display ‘T’ @ Trigger Point (side) to select whether or not to
display ‘T’ indicating the trigger point. You can select ON or OFF. (The
trigger point indicates the position of the trigger in the waveform record.)
3. Press Trigger Bar Style (side) to select either the short or the long trigger
bar or to turn the trigger bar off. (See Figure 3–18. Note that both styles are
shown for illustrating purposes, but you can only display one style at a time.)
