Customizing the Display
Use the display customizing features this instrument provides to present the
display elements—color, graticule style, waveform representation, and so
on—according to your preferences.
Color grading. You can select color grading of a waveform so that its data color
or intensity reflects the frequency of occurrence of the data.
The key points that follow describe operating considerations for setting up the
the display system so that it presents waveforms and other display elements.
Display Settings. Table 3--5 lists display attributes that you can set and where
they are accessed.
