Page 42 4.Configuring Measurement – 4.2.Setting the Input Channel Description of Step 5 (setting the display range and display position (waveform display area)) (procedure on page 39) When displaying multiple channels, it may be difficult to recognize them because the waveforms overlap. Reducing the input sensitivity in the measurement range decreases the amplitude and changes the display position, which can stop the waveforms from overlapping and make them easier to recognize, but this also reduces the resolution of the data.
Page 43 4.Configuring Measurement – 4.2.Setting the Input Channel Description of Step 6 (setting the display maximum and display minimum (waveform display scale)) (procedure on page 39) If the amplitude of the input signal is smaller than the set range, the signal change may be hard to recognize.
