Freeze Menu

Press the FREEZE button to open the Freeze menu shown in Figure 2--12.
Freeze Mode lets you:

H Capture (freeze) the active signal and hold it in the Capture buffer.

H Display the frozen signal or the live signal.

H Compare the frozen signal and the live signal by selecting Display Both.

NOTE. The Freeze function for the Data display in Measure mode freezes only
the data waveform (left side of screen). The data list (right side of screen)
continues to update in response to the incoming serial stream.

The Freeze function does not operate for the Audio display because Audio
display elements cannot be frozen. If a waveform is frozen, it will not be overlaid
with audio when the Display Both function is selected.

If you have frozen a waveform (even if it is not displayed), the pixel density of the
live waveform will be reduced. This is because the frozen waveform is using a
portion of the display memory. Delete the captured waveform to regain full
waveform density and display performance.
