8.4.2 Making Selections
Most selections for setting up and operating the scope are made using the stylus and the scope
toolbar. The cursor lines, the trace zero line, and the trigger point indicator (+) can be repositioned
by selecting and dragging them in the main body of the screen.
There are two basic types of controls on the toolbar:
•
Switches
•
Dialog boxes
A Switch changes states when selected. Changes happen immediately as the selection is made.
A dialog box opens as a separate window on the screen and typically includes a number of
choices. Changes happen immediately, however, the dialog box must be closed to return to the
main window and continue. Make a selection to close the dialog box.
