5.10.3 Adjusting the signal input manually
1. Connect the probe to the input connector [CH ×].
The instrument recognizes the probe and turns on the channel.
2. On the "Horizontal" menu, tap "Setup".
3. Set the "Time scale".
4. If you want to analyze the signal some time before or after the trigger, use the
"Position" and "Reference point" to adjust the visible section of the waveform.
5. Select to set either the resolution or the record length. Enter the required value.
6. Press the channel button corresponding to the input channel. It is illuminated with
the color of the channel waveform.
7. In the "Channels" tab, select the "Coupling".
8. Adjust the vertical "Scale", and the vertical "Position".
9. Tap "Acquisition" to proceed with the acquisition setup.
5.10.4 Setting the acquisition
Prerequisites:
●
Probes are connected.
●
Vertical and horizontal settings are adjusted.
The settings are described in Chapter 5.2.2, "Acquisition", on page 181.
1. On the "Horizontal" menu, tap "Acquisition".
2. To configure the channel-specific acquisition settings, select the "Channel" subtab.
3. Select the "Mode" - for example, Peak detect or High res.
4. Select the "Wfm Arithmetic" - for example, Average or Envelope.
The instrument precludes incompatible combinations, like "Peak detect" with "Aver-
age".
5. If "Average" is selected for a waveform, enter the "Average count", that is the num-
ber of waveforms used for average calculation.
5.10.5 Starting and stopping acquisition
You can control the acquisition in two ways:
●
Running continuous acquisition until you stop it.
●
Running one acquisition or a given number of acquisitions.
