The following exercise guides you through the trigger keys, knobs, and status
line.
Turn the trigger Level knob and notice the changes it makes to the
1
display.
On the HP 54601B and HP 54602B and on an internally triggered HP 54600B
and HP 54603B, as you turn the Level knob or press a trigger menu key, for a
short time two things happen on the display. First, the trigger level is
displayed in inverse video. If the trigger is dc coupled, it is displayed as a
voltage. If the trigger is ac coupled or if LF reject was selected, it is displayed
as a percentage of the trigger range. Second, if the trigger source is turned
on, a line is displayed showing the location of the trigger level (as long as ac
coupling or low frequency reject are not selected).
Change the trigger setup and notice that each change affects the
2
status line differently.
