The user manual represents only part of the assistance available to you — the
online help system, integrated as part of the oscilloscope user interface, provides
quick-to-access support for operating this oscilloscope.
Two types of online help are available, the oscilloscope online help and the
GPIB online programmer’s help. The oscilloscope online help provides
information on all of the oscilloscope controls and procedures for doing typical
tasks. The GPIB online programmer’s help is normally installed on a remote PC
and provides information for controlling the oscilloscope via the GPIB. This
section mainly discusses the online help for the oscilloscope.

tabs.

mode, you can access the help system from the drop-down help menu. Select
