BW LIMIT
Modulating the 
Display intensity
High-frequency noise from extraneous sources can sometimes interfere with 
a signal display. Push in the BW LIMIT button on the front panel to limit the 
vertical response of the scope to frequencies below 20 MHz. A “BWL” read
out will also appear on the display.
The NON-STORE intensity may be modulated with an external signal ap
plied to the External Z-Axis connection (Figure 3-23) located on the rear 
panel of the oscilloscope. Certain specifications of the instrument must be 
observed. Refer to the Z-Axis section of Specification, Appendix B.
