Note
• Only the waveform display position changes when acquisition is stopped. The new offset
voltage is applied to the acquired data the next time waveform acquisition is started.
• You can select whether to apply the offset voltage to cursor measurement values, automated
measurement values of waveform parameters, and computation. See section 15.3.
• If you change the probe attenuation, the offset changes proportionally to reflect the new
attenuation rate.
• If you change the vertical axis sensitivity after setting the offset value, the offset value does
not change.
• The selectable range and resolution of the offset value vary depending on the vertical axis
sensitivity setting. The behavior when you change the vertical axis sensitivity after setting the
offset value is indicated below. If you change the vertical axis sensitivity back to the original
setting without changing the offset value, the original offset value returns.
• When the vertical axis sensitivity is increased (the value is decreased) and the specified
offset value exceeds the selectable range of the offset voltage at the new vertical axis
sensitivity, the offset voltage is set to the maximum value of the selectable range of the
offset value at the new vertical axis sensitivity.
• When the vertical axis sensitivity is decreased (the value is increased) and the specified
resolution of the offset value falls below the resolution of the offset value at the new
vertical axis sensitivity, the resolution is set to the resolution of the offset voltage at the
new vertical axis sensitivity.
