The On-screen Display (OSD)
The OSD is a 12 line, 24 column display containing results from an
SDA 601 Analyze or Watch session. It can be superimposed on the
AUX output and viewed on an attached video monitor. Toggle the
OSD On/Off with the

Figure 4 when the instrument is in Watch mode. You can control sev-
eral OSD characteristics (size, color, screen position) through the Util-
ity/OSD Setups submenu; see page 32.
