Touch the timebase descriptor label once to open
the software dialog for further adjustment.

The title bar of the Trigger label shows the triggered
channel and the trigger coupling at the far right.
Trigger mode (Stopped), trigger type (Edge), level (0
mV), and slope (Positive) are indicated below the
title bar.

Touch the trigger descriptor label once to open the
software dialog for further adjustment.

Descriptor labels are also displayed for the math trace, zoom traces, and
memory (reference waveform) traces. These descriptor labels are only
displayed when their traces are turned ON.

Message Bar

At the bottom of the oscilloscope display is a narrow message bar. The
current date and time are displayed at the far right. Status, error, or other
messages are also shown in this area.

Alternative Access Methods

The front panel and display controls provide the most common ways to
access your oscilloscope’s capability. However, the instrument often gives
you more than one way to access dialogs and to make changes.

Top Menu Bar

If you prefer to drive the oscilloscope with the familiarity of Windows, you
might prefer to access dialogs from the menu bar at the top of the display.
This opens dialog boxes at the bottom of the screen, where adjustments
can be made.

The dialog area occupies the bottom one-third of the display. Expand the
signal display area by minimizing each dialog by touching the Close tab at
the right of the dialog box.

In some limited cases, the menu bar is the only way to access certain
functionality, but generally speaking, the most common oscilloscope
functionality can be controlled from the front panel.
