Maybe I'm confused, I thought the "digital blanking areas" were the whole point of doing proc amp adjustments prior to capture? Meaning, getting the analog signal into an acceptable range so it's...

This is a great thread! I didn't realize the "Histogram()" command could make a waveform view. Very cool.
