# of Traces
Selecting the # of Traces (Number of Traces) button allows the user to define the number of traces that appear on the screen and displays the # of Traces field toolbar. On the toolbar, from 1 (one) to 16 traces per channel can be selected.
If the number of traces is greater than the current trace display layout (described below), traces will be overlaid as required. For example, if the # of Traces selection is set to 6 (six) traces, and the trace layout is set to 4 (four) traces, 2 (two) of the trace displays will be overlaid with an additional trace.
If the number of traces is less than the current trace display layout, trace display positions will be empty. For example, if the trace layout is for 16 traces (4 rows of 4 displays), and the # of Traces selection is set for 12 traces, the last row of three trace displays will be empty.
Trace Layout
Select displays the TRACE LAYOUT menu to change how the traces are displays on the screen.
