Display Control Command Group
Use the commands in the Display Control Command Group to change
the graticule style, the displayed intensities, and to set the characteris-
tics of the waveform display.
You can set the display of date and time; cursor, histogram, mask, and
measurement readouts; measurement annotations, and the mode in
which waveforms are displayed.
There are six color palettes from which you can select:
H Normal displays hues and lightness levels for best overall viewing.
H Tem p displays areas of the waveform with the highest sample
density in warmer colors (red shades) while the areas of lowest
sample density appear in cooler colors (blue shades).
H Spectral displays areas of the waveform with the highest sample
density in blue shades while the areas of lowest sample density
appear in red shades.
H Green displays waveforms in shades of green. Areas of the
waveform with the highest sample density appear in lighter green
shades while the areas of lowest sample density appear in darker
green shades.
H Gray displays waveforms in shades of gray. Areas of the
waveform with the highest sample density appear in lighter gray
shades while the areas of lowest sample density appear in darker
gray shades.
H User allows you to create a customized color palette.
Use the commands to set the style that best displays your waveforms
and graticule display properties. Note that the mode you choose global-
ly affects all displayed waveforms.
