Using the Instrument Interface
—convenient ways you can operate the instrument
Use familiar knobs and buttons on the front panel to perform most vertical, horizontal, and
triggering functions. Make quick adjustments to your displayed signals with the dedicated vertical
controls for each channel.
The screen interface gives you access to the complete functionality of the instrument. The toolbar
interface is optimized for optional touch screen operation. Touching (or clicking) a button on the
toolbar opens a control window that you can use to select the instrument settings.
With a mouse, you may prefer to use the PC-style menu bar to open control windows or directly
select many instrument settings.
Changing Control Settings
—several ways to set numerical parameters
As you configure the instrument, you may need to set a numerical parameter such as a reference
level or delay time. There are several different ways to set these parameters.
 In a control window, touch or click the parameter to select it. Once selected, one of the
multipurpose knobs is assigned to the parameter. Turn the upper or lower knob (as indicated
by the knob graphic next to the parameter) to adjust the setting. Push the FINE button to use
the knob to make small changes, for example to add another decimal place for greater
accuracy.
 This online help usually refers to using the multipurpose knobs to change control settings,
although the following methods are generally available:
 Some parameters with discrete values have increment/decrement buttons. Touch or click them
to change to the next available value.
 Some parameters supply a pop-up keypad or keyboard that you can use to enter a new value.
 If you have an external keyboard attached, you can also use it to type in a new value.
 You can also adjust parameter values using the mouse wheel. Press the mouse wheel to access
fine mode. Press it again to return to normal mode.
