8.7 Taking Snapshots and Clearing Traces
<For a description of this function, refer to page 2-35.>
Procedure
Snapshot
Press SNAPSHOT to take a snapshot of the screen.
Clear Trace
Press CLEAR TRACE while the waveform acquisition is stopped. The waveform is
cleared.
Explanation
Snapshot
The snapshot function leaves the current displayed waveform on the screen. This
function allows the current displayed waveform to remain temporarily on the screen
(snapshot waveform) without requiring waveform acquisition to stop. It is useful when
you want to compare waveforms.
You cannot perform the following operations on snapshot waveforms.
• Cursor measurements and automated measurement of waveform parameters
• Zoom and computation
• Position movement
• X-Y waveform display
You can save and load snapshot waveforms. See section 13.10.
Clear Trace
Clears all the waveforms that are currently displayed on the screen. However, this does
not apply in X-Y Recorder mode (see section 9.1).
Loaded waveforms are also cleared.
When you restart the waveform acquisition, the waveforms in the acquisition memory are
cleared.
Note
The data corresponding to the waveforms that have been cleared by executing clear trace
remains in the history memory. You can display the waveform again by selecting the desired
waveform record using Select Record on the HISTORY menu.
Conditions When SNAP SHOT and CLEAR TRACE Cannot Be Used
• When engaging remote mode using the communication interface.
• When printing
• During auto setup
