2. Ensure that the side button corresponding to the desired action reads ON.
If you want to send a hardcopy command when waveform data exceeds
the limits set, toggle Hardcopy if Condition Met (side) to ON. You can
set the hardcopy system to send the hardcopy to the file system. (Do not
forget to set up the hardcopy system. See Hardcopy on page 3–164 for
details.)

You can compare a single waveform against a single template. When making a
single waveform versus a single template comparison, consider the following
operating characteristics:
single waveform versus a single template comparison, consider the following
operating characteristics:
The waveform will be repositioned horizontally to move the first sample in
the waveform record that is outside of template limits to center screen.
The position of the waveform template will track that of the waveform.
