Description
The
Recent/All softkey specifies whether all measurements ( All ) or only the most recent measurements
(
Recent ) are shown on the trend chart. Neither selection clears reading memory. In All mode, the trend
chart displays all readings being taken and builds from left to right. After the display is filled, the data
becomes compressed on the left side of the display as new data is added on the right side of the display.
In
Recent mode, the trend chart displays data taken during a specified amount of time.
Default sets the scale to the measurement range.
Auto automatically adjusts the scale to appropriately fit the line currently shown on the screen.
Manual allows you to configure the scale either as High and Low values or as a Span around a Center
value. For example, a scale from a Low of 0 V to a High of 5 V is equivalent to a Center of 2.5 V and a Span
of 5 V.
Limits set the scale to the alarm limits.
This softkey is only available when you configure alarm on the selected channel
by pressing the [Alarm] key on the front panel.
