The Front Panel and User Interface

Being familiar with the front panel of an oscilloscope is the first priority when you get
a new type digital oscilloscope. This chapter will bring you a brief introduction and
description of the front panel operations of DS1000B series digital oscilloscopes. It is
a great help for your understanding to the layout of the knobs and keys and how to
use them. Read the chapter carefully before further operations.
Figure 1-1, the front Panel; the knobs are used most often and are similar to the
knobs on other oscilloscopes. There are five gray buttons defined as No.1 to No.5
from up to bottom on the right side of the display which are menu operating buttons.
The buttons not only allow you to use some of the functions directly but also bring up
soft button menus on the screen, which enable the access to many measurement
features associated with the advanced functions, mathematics, and reference or to
run control features.
