Using the Oscilloscope
Vertical Controls
Vertical Controls
Using the vertical controls, you set the vertical scaling (volts per division) and
vertical offset. You can also turn the display on or off for a particular channel.
Marker and Measurement Controls
Using the marker and measurement controls, you control two sets of markers
within the oscilloscope graticule. You use markers to make more accurate
measurements of waveform events than you could make visually. Both time
and voltage differences between the markers are updated continuously on the
screen. By default, the markers track the source waveform. Voltage
measurements from the markers are the value of the waveform at the time set
with the marker position control.
The Multipurpose key initiates five preset measurements on the waveforms.
Both quick measurements and markers will function on any input waveform;
simply continue to press and release one of the keys (either Multipurpose,
Marker A, or Marker B) to cycle through all the waveforms on the screen, then
to the off state. You choose which five measurements will be performed by
using the measurement configuration commands in the graphical interface.
