Accumulating multiple acquisitions
Turning off infinite persistence does not clear the display. This allows you to
accumulate multiple acquisitions, stop acquisitions, and then compare future
acquisitions to the stored waveforms.
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.
