Clearing stored infinite persistence waveforms
In addition to clearing the display by pressing the Clear Display softkey, the
display is also cleared of previous acquisitions if you press the Autoscale key.
To adjust the grid (graticule) intensity, press Display&Grid and
use the Entry knob
The Agilent 6000 Series oscilloscopes are designed to operate
optimally with vectors on. This mode gives the most realistic
waveforms in most situations.
When enabled, Vectors draws a line between consecutive
waveform data points.
• Vectors give an analog look to a digitized waveform.
• Vectors allow you to see steep edges on waveforms, such as
square waves.
• Vectors allow subtle detail of complex waveforms to be
viewed, much like an analog oscilloscope trace, even when
the detail is just a small number of pixels in size.
The oscilloscope switches vectors on whenever the acquisition
system stops. Digital channels on the mixed-signal oscilloscope
are not affected by the Display menu. They are always displayed
with peak detect and vectors on. They also only contain one
trigger worth of information.
Using Vectors (Display menu)
One of the most fundamental choices you must make about your
display is whether to draw vectors (connect the dots) between
the samples, or simply let the samples fill in the waveform. To
some degree, this is a matter of personal preference, but it also
depends on the waveform.
