-**Add** another Math channel, this time with the calculation of "(C3-C1)*C1/Rs". If the chart is too cluttered with signals, click the checkmarks in the upper left of the 3 Scope channels to stop them from being plotted. Set the units to "W" and adjust the range of this channel to 20 mW/div to view the power of the resistor component of the circuit. Select Math1 and then drag the red triangle on the left of the chart down to offset the channel from Math2, since they largely overlap.+**Add** another Math channel, this time with the calculation of "(C2-C1)*C1/Rs".

 Note: Scope measurement and math channels can be renamed and relabeled in order to clarify what they represent. This can be done by expanding the channel options (the gear icon) and editing the Name and Label properties of the channel. Note: Scope measurement and math channels can be renamed and relabeled in order to clarify what they represent.
