(Parameter): Allows display of either frequency (default) or period.
(Z in): Allows selection of either 50 Ω (default) or High impedance
(10 kΩ).
(Measure Setup): Shows the screen below:

Coupling: Sets the input path to either (AC) (default) or (DC).
Bandwidth Limit: Can be set to (ON) or (OFF). When Zin is set to
50 Ω, with Bandwidth Limit ON, the bandwidth (-3 dB) is 1.5 MHz. When Zin is
set to High, with Bandwidth Limit ON, the bandwidth (-3 dB) is 1 MHz. The
bandwidth (-3dB) is 100 MHz, with Bandwidth Limit OFF and Zin set to 50 Ω.
With Zin set to High, and using an external in-line terminator on the rear BNC
Freq IN, the bandwidth is also 100 MHz.
