9.6.2 Choosing the Trace Snapshot Colors

You can choose the color that is used to display the snapshots of Trace A or Trace B.
Keep in mind that the trace display window is displayed using the Windows menu
background color, so be careful not to display trace snapshots in the same color, or
the trace will not show up.

To choose a color for a trace snapshot, follow these steps:

Step 1. From the Options menu, choose SnapA Color or SnapB Color.

The color selection dialog box is displayed.

Step 2. Select a standard color or create a custom color and click OK.

Traces can be displayed only in solid colors. If you choose a mixed color, the nearest
solid color is used.

Saving a Trace File

You can save a trace as either a trace file (.TRC) or an ASCII file (.TRA). Saving a
trace as an ASCII file lets you import the data into another program such as a
spreadsheet program.

Use the Save As command to save the file with a new name. To save a trace file,
follow these steps:

Step 1. From the File menu, choose Save or Save As.

The Save a Signal Trace File dialog box is displayed.

Step 2. In the file name field, type the name for the file.
