Operation
Channel Selection
Using the Vertical MODE buttons, you
can
display any combination of the
four
vertical channels. To manually switch between
CH
1 and another channel,
with minimum button pushing, deselect
CH
1 and press the button for the other
channel to turn it
on
and off;
CH
1
is
displayed when
all
other verticals
are
off.
ADD
and
INVERT
Press ADD to display the algebraic sum of
CH
1 and
CH
2.
Select INVERT
to change the sense of the
CH
2 waveform or to
see
the difference between
CH
1 and
CH
2 on the ADD trace. If you use
ADD,
the
CH
1 and
CH
2
VOL TS/DIV settings should
be
equal.
Choosing CHOP or AL T
With two or more channels, the display
is
time-shared. Chop mode displays
each channel for a short time and multiplexes during the sweep
to
give the
appearance of displaying
all
channels at once. Chop works better than Alt for
sweeps
slower than 1 ms/division and for low repetition-rate signals that make
the
display flicker, up to 21's/division.
Alt
mode displays each channel for the duration of a complete sweep. Alt
gives a "cleaner" display of multiple channels than Chop does and
is
usually
preferred at moderate to high sweep speeds.

Limit
This mode
can
give you a sharper trace
by
eliminating high-frequency
interference. Before using it, check to make sure it doesn't distort the
waveform.
