When moving between Readout and Profile modes, with LINK enabled, the value used
for “sample delay” is modified using the “display trigger delay.” In Readout mode, the
“sample delay” and “display trigger delay” values are combined as “sample delay,”
whereas in Profile mode they are both available separately.
FAST
Fast recall of a saved instrument setup from one of the 10 memory locations. In FAST
system recall mode, a single key press recalls a saved setup. A message across the lower
area of the screen will prompt for keypad keys 1-9, or 0, to be pressed to recall setups
1-10 (if saved setup data is available in the selected location). The -exit- softkey or any
other menu key will exit fast recall mode.
PRESET
Resets the system parameters to the default setup.
Profile
This soft key becomes available when the System > Setup > MODE is set to Profile. Profile
operation mode includes the following display controls:
CHANNEL [GRMD]
Select Channel 1 or Channel 2. The channel selected will be displayed on the left of the
screen, above the middle value of the y axis and is used for all Profile data displays.
PERIOD [GRPRD]
Sets the time period over which the system collects data and scales the data into the
profile graph after a trigger event. Enter the data collection period in ms or s. See
System > Graphics > Pretrig % to move the t=0 (trigger event position) of the displayed
waveform.
DELAY [DTRGD]
Specifies the period of time after a trigger event to delay the start of the display
window. For the trigger to line up with the marked trigger point on repetitive
waveforms, the delay period should be either zero, or set to integer multiples of 1/PRF
(Pulse Repetition Frequency). Enter the delay period in ms or s.
Note
With LINK set to ON, Readout mode is temporarily forced to Custom mode, and
the default and Mod Average modes are inhibited. To use these modes, deselect
LINK.
RESET [*RST] This selection will reset the system setup. The offset tables and
the GPIB interface will not be affected.
FACTORY [FRST] This selection will reset the system setup, including the offset
tables and GPIB interface.
Note PERIOD sets the x-axis time.
