The IDS-1000B Series Digital Storage Oscilloscope is a versatile instrument designed for capturing and viewing input signals, performing various measurements, and offering extensive configuration options. It is available in 2-channel and 4-channel versions, with bandwidths ranging from 50MHz to 100MHz.
Function Description:
The IDS-1000B series functions as a digital storage oscilloscope, allowing users to capture, display, and analyze electrical signals. It supports basic measurements, automatic measurements (voltage/current, time, and delay), cursor measurements, and math operations including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The device can be configured for various acquisition modes (Sample, Peak Detect, Average), display settings (waveform as dots or vectors, persistence, intensity, graticule), horizontal and vertical view adjustments, and trigger types (Edge, Delay, Pulse Width, Video, Pulse Runt, Rise & Fall, Timeout). It also includes built-in applications like Go-NoGo testing and Remote Disk (for 4-channel models). The oscilloscope features a 7-inch, 800x480 WVGA TFT display for clear visualization of waveforms and measurement results.

Usage Features:
- Intuitive Interface: Features side and bottom menu keys for selecting options from soft-menus on the LCD. A variable knob and select key are used for adjusting values and making selections.
- Autoset Function: Automatically configures horizontal scale, vertical scale, and trigger source channel for optimal waveform viewing. Offers "Fit Screen Mode" and "AC Priority Mode."
- Run/Stop Key: Freezes or continues signal acquisition, allowing for flexible observation and analysis.
- Single Trigger Mode: Captures a single waveform event and then stops acquisition, useful for observing transient signals.
- Horizontal and Vertical Controls: Dedicated knobs for positioning and scaling waveforms, with push-to-zero functionality for resetting positions.
- Zoom Functionality: Allows for horizontal zooming of waveforms, with adjustable scrolling sensitivity.
- Play/Pause in Zoom Mode: Enables playing through acquired waveforms in zoom mode.
- Measurement Functions: Provides basic, automatic, and cursor-based measurements for voltage, time, frequency, and other parameters. Automatic measurements can be gated to specific areas of the waveform.
