The fastest way to manage markers on multiple traces is to use the preset function. The marker and limit line preset tool bar allows users to quickly set all markers and the limit line to pre‑defined values on similar traces (Figure: Preset Tool Bar).

First set the markers and limit lines on a typical trace to the desired values. Then, press the red “e” (edit) button on the Preset Tool Bar. This puts the preset buttons into “learn” mode. Next, press a preset button (1 through 7). This programs the preset button where to put the markers and limit lines. Finally, press the red “e” button again to exit the learn mode.

The programmed button is now enabled. Line Sweep Tools can program up to 7 buttons with preset markers and limit line.

To use the preset, just press it, and the markers and limit line are displayed at the programmed locations even when switching to a new trace. The two arrow keys make going to the next or previous trace simple. Using presets, a dozen similar traces can be reliably validated in seconds.
