Setting the Display Persistence
Select Display > Display Persistence,
and then select the type of persis-
tence.
H No persistence shows record
points for the current acquisition
only. Each new waveform record
replaces the previously acquired
record for a channel.
H Infinite persistence continuously
accumulates record points until
you change one of the acquisition
display settings. Use for
displaying points that may occur
outside the norm al acquisition
envelope.
H Variable persistence accumulates
record points for a specified time
interval. Each record point decays
independently according to the
time interval.
1. To set the variable persistence
time, select Display > Display
Persistence > Persistence Con-
trols....
2. Click Persist Time, and then use
