To Use REF Function 
Reference Waveforms are saved waveforms to be selected for display. The reference 
function will be available after saving the selected waveform to non-volatile memory. 
During the actual measurement process, you can use DS1000B series digital 
oscilloscope to observe the waveforms of correlative components. It will help you to 
determine the cause of malfunction when you compare the measured waveform with 
the reference waveform. The method is particularly useful under the circumstance of 
having reference waveforms. 
 
Press REF button to display the Reference waveform menu. 
Figure 2-20    Table 2-10 REF menu when using internal memory (Page 1/3) 
Turn on or turn off one to four REF 
channels
Select the current REF channel 
which is optional from REF1 to 
REF4.
(According to the available 
channel, for example, if only REF1 
is turned on, then only REF1 can
be 
chosen as the current channel.) 
Select CH1, CH2, CH3,CH4,MATH 
as the source channel whose input 
waveforms will be compared with 
the reference waveforms. 
Select memory location in scope. 
Select memory location out scope.
