Conventions

Note: If topics include expanding or drop-down hotspots, click the hotspots to display the information before you.

Hotspot is a clickable text that displays additional information below the link. Click on the hotspot text to show or hide the hotspot content

Some online help topics have color in the examples of the displayed application. If you want to print this type of topic on a monochrome printer, some information may not print because of certain colors. Instead, you should print the topic from the PDF (portable document format) file that corresponds to the online help. You can find the file in the Documents directory on the Optional Applications Software on Windows-Based Oscilloscopes CD-ROM. The application menus in the PDF file are gray scale and all the information can be printed.

Online help uses the following conventions:

 When steps require a sequence of selections using the application interface,

the ">" delimiter marks each transition between a menu and an option. For example, File > Minimize.
