Horizontal Position/Scale Control Window: Delay
On
Access this control window from the Horizontal menu.
Overview
Use the Horizontal Position/Scale control window to set the horizontal
delay and the horizontal scale of the displayed waveforms when the
horizontal delay is on.
The dedicated controls on the front panel also perform the same
functions.
For information on Delay Mode control see page 100 and on Scale
control see page 101.

Horizontal Position/Scale Control Window: Horiz
Delay
To Use
Click Delay Mode or push the front-panel DELAY button to activate
horizontal delay. Click the Horiz Delay control, and use the
multipurpose knob to set the delay time. You can also use the
dedicated HORIZONTAL POSITION knob on the front panel.
Behavior
Use the Horiz Delay control to delay the acquisition relative to the trigger event. The horizontal
delay feature is useful when you want to acquire waveform details that are separated from the
trigger event by a significant interval of time.
For example, you can trigger the instrument on a sync pulse that occurs once every 10 ms, and
then look at the high-speed characteristics that occur 6 ms after the pulse.
A convenient way to use the horizontal delay is to make quick comparisons between two
different points in time. Trigger the instrument on one area of interest and then set the horizontal
delay to acquire the other area of interest. You can then toggle the horizontal delay on and off to
compare details at the two points in time.
