Selecting Channels
The
selected channel
is the channel that the digitizing oscilloscope applies all
waveform-specific activities to (such as measurements or vertical scale and
position).
The channel readout shows the selected channel in inverse video in the lower
left corner of the display. The channel reference indicator for the selected
channel appears along the left side of the display. See Figure 3-71.

CH 1, CH 2, CH 3 (AUX 1 on the TDS 620A & TDS 524A), CH 4 (AUX 2 on

selected. The MORE button allows you to select internally stored
