Using the Built-In Information System
Most of the documentation for using the Infiniium Oscilloscope is
included in its built-in information system. The built-in information
system contains the information generally found in a User's Guide.
The information system is accessible from the menu bar and from dialog
boxes. This chapter explains how to use the system to find the
information you need to use the oscilloscope effectively.
The following topics are covered in the information system:
• Probing lists the various probes available for the Infiniium
Oscilloscope, discusses probing considerations, and explains how to
use the probes.
• Acquiring and Viewing Waveforms explains how acquisition works,
discusses the acquisition and display functions and controls, and tells
how to use the run/stop controls.
• Waveform Display Style and Grid explains how to alter the display
appearance, tells how to improve the display of certain kinds of
waveforms, and explains the X-versus-Y display function.
• Triggering explains basic triggering concepts, describes the trigger
modes available in the Infiniium Oscilloscope, and tells how to use the
trigger modes.
• Saving Waveforms, Saving Setups, and Printing explains how to
simplify your work with the oscilloscope by saving critical waveforms,
measurement results, and the oscilloscope configuration used to
obtain them. You can recall the waveforms for viewing later, or recall
the setup to repeat the measurement.
• Mask Testing describes mask testing and how to use it.
• Measurements describes the built-in automatic measurement
functions of the oscilloscope, explains how they work, and tells how
to use them. Describes the markers and how to use them.
