Timebase Setup
Set up the timebase by using the front panel Horizontal controls, just as for analog scopes.
For additional timebase setups
1. Touch Timebase in the menu bar, then Horizontal Setup... in the drop-down menu. The
"Horizontal" dialog appears.
2. Touch inside the Time/Division data entry field and enter a value using the pop-up
numeric keypad, or use the up/down arrows to adjust the value.
3. Touch inside the Delay data entry field and type in a value, using the pop-up keypad.
Touch the Set To Zero button to set the delay to zero.
COMBINING OF CHANNELS
Channels can be combined to increase sample rate, memory, or both in order to capture and view
a signal in all its detail. When you combine channels, uncombined channels like EXT BNC remain
available for triggering, even though they are not displayed.
Note: While channels can be combined on any WaveRunner 6000A Series model to increase memory, sample rate can
only be increased on 1 GHz and 2 GHz bandwidth models.
In 2-channel operation, channels 2 and 3 are active. In Auto operation, you can use channel 1 or
2, and channel 3 or 4. On the paired channels the maximum sampling rate is doubled and the
record length is greatly increased:
As you can see, sampling can be maximized to 10 GS/s for any combination of two channels,
except a combination of channels 1 and 2, or channels 3 and 4, which yield 5 GS/s. The basic
rule is to choose either channel 1 or 2 for your first input, and either channel 3 or 4 for the second
input.
Refer to Acquisition Modes in the specifications for maximum sample rates.
To Combine Channels
1. In the menu bar, touch Timebase; the "Horizontal" setup dialog opens.
2. Under Active Channels, touch 4, 2 or Auto. The maximum sample rate is shown
alongside each button.
