To Adjust The Vertical Position; To Specify Channel Coupling - Agilent Technologies 1000B Series User Manual

To adjust the vertical position

Adjusting their vertical position lets you compare waveforms by aligning
them above one another or on top of each other.
When an input channel waveform is on:
• Turn the vertical position knob to change the vertical position of the
• Push the vertical position knob to "zero" the ground reference (in other
Notice that, as you adjust the vertical position, a message showing the
position of the ground reference relative to the center of the screen is
temporarily displayed in the lower left- hand corner of the screen.

To specify channel coupling

1 If the channel's menu is not currently displayed, press the channel key

select between:
DC
Passes both DC and AC components of the input
waveform to the oscilloscope. See
You can quickly measure the DC component of the
waveform by simply noting its distance from the ground
symbol.
AC
Blocks the DC component of the input waveform and
passes the AC component. See
This lets you use greater sensitivity (amplitude/div
settings) to display the AC component of the waveform.
GND
The waveform is disconnected from the oscilloscope
input.
