INStavu
INStavu turns on InstaVu. This mode can help you view infrequent deviations in
a signal. It only uses a 500 point record length, no averaging, and no enveloping.
When you turn on InstaVu, the TDS turns off any active zoom, autosave, limit
test, waveform math, FastFrame, and XY display. The TDS reactivates these
features when you turn off InstaVu.
NORMal turns on the normal (non–InstaVu) mode.
DISPLAY:MODE INSTAVU
turns on InstaVu.
DISPLAY:MODE?
might return INSTAVU indicating that the InstaVu mode is on.
DISplay:PERSistence
Sets the length of time that data points are displayed when DISplay:STYle is set
to VARpersist while in normal mode (not InstaVu). This affects the display only
and is equivalent to setting Variable Persistence in the Display Style side menu.
