Acquisition Time Field
The Acquisition Time field time stamps each data acquisition. It is
controlled by the real time system clock which is set up in the System Utility
Menu. The real time clock cannot be modified from the Display menu.
Refer to the
HP 16500 User's Reference for details for setting the real time clock.
The Acquisition Time field will be blank at system power-up. It will show
the date and time of any acquisition when you touch the Run field and make
the first data acquisition. The Acquisition Time field is displayed to the right
of the Grid field once data has been acquired.
Display Options Field
The Display Options field allows you to display either sample period
information or marker value information on the oscilloscope menus. It is
also the means by which you access the scope channel labeling menu.
The Display Options field appears on the Channel, Trigger, Display and
Auto-Measure menus. The number of selections that appear when you touch
the Display Options field will vary depending on whether or not any of the
markers are enabled. If no markers are enabled, the oscilloscope menus will
always display sample period information and touching the Display Options
field will yield a single possible selection, Set Channel Labels. If either
voltage or time markers are enabled, touching the Display Options field will
reveal three possible selections, Set Channel Labels, Display Sample Period,
and Display Marker Values.
Set Channel Labels
Selecting Set Channel Labels from the Display Options pop-up will take you
to the Scope Channel Labels menu. This menu allows you to assign labels to
each of the oscilloscope channels. These labels will subsequently appear in
the channel label area to the left of the waveform display area. The
oscilloscope channel labels appear on single trace waveforms only. The
default scope labels are used for overlay and waveform math displays.
