To change the display mode,click the corresponding icon in the toolbar or make a selection from the Display > Show menu options. When inChart or Scope mode, you have the additional option to display appended data in the Overlap Segments mode,activated from the Toolbar.Chart modeChart is the default display mode and plots with Time on the horizontal axis.Chart mode emulates a chart recorder. Each channel of data is in its own “track” across the screen, with bordersbetween channels. The waveforms will not cross boundaries into the tracks of adjacent channels.Waveforms cannot overlap in Chart mode, but it is possible for the waveform to be plotted off the scale of thechannel track. To remedy this, choose Autoscale Waveforms and the software will select the “best fit” forwaveforms to their tracks.When the active channel is disabled in Chart Mode, the first channel (of the remaining enabled channels) becomesthe new (default) active channel and its Horizontal and Vertical Scales are displayed.
