Configure channel or waveform settings
Use the channel and waveform configuration menus to set parameters such as vertical scale and of
fset, coupling, bandwidth, probe
settings, deskew values, external attenuation values, and other settings.
Before you begin
Prerequisite: There is a channel or waveform badge in the Settings bar.
Procedure
1. Double-tap a Channel or Waveform badge to open a configuration menu for that item.
For example, in a Channel menu, use the Vertical Settings panel to set basic probe parameters such as vertical scale and position,
offset, coupling, termination, and bandwidth limit. Available settings depend on the probe.
2. T
ap the Probe Setup panel to confirm probe settings and run configuration or compensation on supported probes.
3. T
ap the Help icon on the menu title to open the help topic for more information.
4. Tap outside the menu to close the menu.
Autoset to quickly display a waveform
The Autoset function analyzes the signal characteristics and changes the instrument Horizontal, Vertical, and Trigger settings to
automatically display a triggered waveform. You can then make further changes to trigger and horizontal settings to view the waveform
point of interest.
1. Connect the probe with the signal of interest to an available channel.
2. Double-tap the Trigger badge and set the trigger source to that of the signal of interest.
3. Connect any other associated signal(s) to available channel input(s).
4. Add the channel waveforms to the Waveform view. See Add a channel waveform to the display on page 44.
5. Tap File > Autoset or push the front-panel Autoset button. When using the Stacked Display mode, the instrument analyzes the signal
characteristics of the trigger source channel (analog or digital) and adjusts the horizontal, vertical, and trigger settings accordingly
to display a triggered waveform for that channel. The Vertical scale is adjusted in each waveform slice of all active waveforms to
maximize ADC utilization.
