Besides these channels, up to three math waveforms and four reference wave-
forms are available for display. (A math waveform results when you specify dual
waveform operations, such as add, on any two channels. A reference waveform
results when you save a waveform in a reference memory.)
Horizontal System
There are three horizontal display modes: main only, main intensified, and
delayed only. You can select among various horizontal record length settings.
A feature called “Fit to Screen” allows you to view entire waveform records
within the 10 division screen area. In other words, waveforms are compressed to
fit on the screen. See Table 1–2.

Both the delayed only display and the intensified zone on the main intensified
display may be delayed by time with respect to the main trigger. Both can be set
to display immediately after the delay (delayed runs after main mode). The
delayed display can also be set to display at the first valid trigger after the delay
(delayed-triggerable modes).
