Transparent drawing is used, for example, for the grid linesin the trace mode, because it makes it possible to see trace points thatfall exactly onto a grid line.Number of Video Points for TracesSet to 500 by default, this number provides a good compromisebetween measurement speed and resolution. The higher the number ofvideo points, the higher the CPU load and acquisition time. On lowperformancePCs, it may be desirable to lower this number.Manual 38
