Cancelling Menu Functions

to
light the MENU indicator, then press the lower Trigger-MODE button.
When a menu
is
displayed, you can either press the lower Trigger-MODE
button to escape the menu and deactivate
all
menu-selected functions or press
the upper Trigger-MODE button to step through the menu

the previous measurement.

Delay Sweeps
by
Event Counts
The available Counter-Timer-Trigger
(CIT)
menu includes delay-by-events for either
the A
Sweep or the B Sweep. Event counting begins at a starting event on a vertical
input, defined by the A Trigger. Delay-counting events are defined by the B Trigger.
In
addition, the available Word Recognizer (WR) can define either start or delay-counting
events. The combinations available are shown
in
Table 2-3.
Which Sweep
to
Delay
When the A Sweep
is
delayed by events, the event count can accumulate
for unlimited time. Then the B Sweep can
be
delayed by time to magnify
waveform details.
When the B
Sweep
is
delayed by events, the event count must accumulate
during the A Sweep. Then the intensified A Sweep can show the timing
between the start event and the
delay count.
