c) Press the "Probe" softkey and select the attenuation.
8. Use the SCALE rotary knob in the VERTICAL area of the front panel to adjust the
vertical scale of the waveform. Press the knob to toggle between fine and rough
adjustment.
9. Use the POSITION rotary knob to adjust the vertical position of the waveform. Vertical
position is defined by the position of the waveform's zero line and the offset between
the zero line and the waveform axis. Pressing the knob toggles between these
parameters.
By default, offset is disabled. Press the "Offset" softkey in the "Channel" menu to
enable the offset. Use the NAVIGATION knob or the POSITION / OFFSET knob to
adjust. Turn clockwise to move the waveform down.

2.2.3 Setting the Acquisition
Prerequisites:
●
Probes are connected.
●
Vertical and horizontal settings are adjusted.
For details on acquisition settings, see chapter 2.3.2, "Acquisition Menu", on page 23.
1. Press the ACQUISITION key in the HORIZONTAL area of the front panel.
2. Select the "Sample Mode" - Real time or Equivalent time.
This defines the behavior of the oscilloscope if the sample rate is higher than the ADC
sample rate.
Use Equivalent time to capture fast repetitive signals whose frequency components
may be much higher than the sample rate of the ADC.
3. Select the "Decimation Mode" - for example, Peak detect.
This defines the behavior of the instrument if the oscilloscope captures more samples
than the waveform memory can save.
4. Select the "Wavef. Arithmetic" - for example, Average or Envelope.
This defines how the resulting waveform is built from several consecutive acquisitions
of the signal.
5. If "Average" is selected, enter the "Number of Averages", that is the number of wave-
forms used for average calculation.
6. Select the "Waveform Rate".
2.2.4 Starting and Stopping Acquisition
You can control the acquisition in two ways:
●
Running continuous acquisition until you stop it
