Figure 3- 16: Display elements

(1) Waveform display: the area where the waveforms appear. The display
comprises the time bases and graticules, the waveforms, masks, histograms, and
readouts.

(2) Graticule: a grid marking the display area of a view. Each graticule is
associated with its time base.

(3) Upper and lower amplitude-limits readouts: the upper and lower boundary level
of the graticule for the selected waveform.

(4) Horizontal-scale readout: the horizontal scale of the selected waveform.

(5) Horizontal reference: a control that you can position to set the point around
which channel waveforms expand and contract horizontally on screen as you
change the Horizontal Scale control.

(6) Preview: a status field that indicates when all waveforms are being previewed
(that is, displaying an approximation of the waveforms as they will appear when
acquisition completes). This indicator may appear when you alter acquisition
controls.

(7) Main, Mag1, and Mag2 views: selectable objects displaying on screen in the
display, each with its own display of any waveform that is currently turned on. A
