Front-Panel Overview
Before you make measurements using the Agilent 54620-series
Oscilloscopes, you must first set up the instrument using front-panel
controls. Then, make the measurement and read the display results.
These oscilloscopes operate much like an analog scope, but it can do
much more. Spending a few minutes to learn some of this capability will
take you a long way toward more productive troubleshooting. The
"MegaZoom Concepts and Oscilloscope Operation" chapter has more
detail on the things to consider while operating your oscilloscope.
The keys on the front panel bring up softkey menus on the display that
allow access to oscilloscope features. Many softkeys use the Entry
knob to select values.
Throughout this book, the front-panel keys and softkeys are denoted by
a change in the text type. For example, the key is on the front
Cursors
panel and the softkey is appears at the bottom of the display
Normal
directly above its corresponding key. Other softkey graphic conventions
used on the oscilloscope and throughout this guide are shown in the
"Getting started using the oscilloscope interface" topic in chapter 1.
