Front Panel Controls
1. Power Switch Press once to switch power on; press again to
switch power off. See page 31.
2. Intensity Control Rotate clockwise to increase analog
waveform intensity; counterclockwise to decrease. You can vary
the intensity control to bring out signal detail, much like an
analog oscilloscope. Digital channel waveform intensity is not
adjustable. More details about using the Intensity control to
view signal detail are on page 257.
3. USB Host Port Connect a USB compliant mass storage device
to store or recall oscilloscope setup files or waveforms. You can
also use the USB port to update the oscilloscope’s system
software or Quick Help language files if updates are available.
You do not need to take special precautions before removing the
USB mass storage device from the oscilloscope (you do not need
to “eject” it). Simply unplug the USB mass storage device from
the oscilloscope when the file operation is complete. More
information on using the USB port is given in Chapter 7, “Saving
and Printing Data,” starting on page 301.
4. Probe Compensation Terminals Use the signal at these
terminals to match each probe’s characteristics to the
oscilloscope channel to which it is connected. See page 52.
5. Digital Channel Controls These controls switch the digital
channels on/off, and can be used to select a digital channel for
repositioning on the display. You can press the D15 Thru D0 key
to show the Digital Channel Menu above the softkeys. See
Chapter 3, “Viewing and Measuring Digital Signals,” starting on
page 109.
CAUTION
Only connect USB devices to the USB host port. Do not attempt to
connect a host computer to this port to control the oscilloscope. Use
the USB device port if you want to connect a host (See the 6000 Series
Oscilloscope Programmer’s Quick Start Guide for details).
