2)  Specify the edge type of sampling 
Press Slope and turn the multi-function knob   to set the oscilloscope to 
sample the channel data on the rising edge (
), falling edge ( ) or 
rising&falling edges ( ) of the clock signal. You can also press Slope 
continuously to switch the current edge type.  
 
3.  Set the data line 
1)  Set the bus bits 
Press Bus Bits and turn the multi-function knob   to set the data width 
of the parallel bus (namely the number of bits of each frame of data). The 
range is from 1 to 20 and the default is 8 (Bit0, Bit1, Bit2…). 
 
2)  Specify data channel for each bit 
First, press CurrentBit and turn the multi-function knob   to select the 
bit that needs to specify a channel. The range available is from 0 to (the 
current bus bits – 1). By default, bit 0 is selected. For example, when the 
bus bits is 20, the range available is from 0 to 19. 
 
Then, press Channel, turn the multi-function knob   to select the 
desired channel and press the knob. You can also press Channel 
continuously to switch the channel currently selected. The channels 
available include D0 to D15 and CH1 to CH4.  
 
4.  Adjust the analog channel threshold level 
When the clock channel or data channel selected include analog channels (CH1 
to CH4), you can set the threshold level of the specified analog channels 
according to your need. When the channel signal amplitude is greater than the 
preset threshold, it is judged as logic “1”; otherwise logic “0”.
