TLS 216 User Manual
This is the User Manual for the TLS 216 Logic Scope.
Section 1 Getting Started familiarizes you with the operation of your logic
scope.
Section 2 Operating Basics covers basic principles of the operation of the logic
scope. The topics covered help you understand why your logic scope operates
the way it does.
Section 3 Reference teaches you how to perform specific tasks. See page 3–1 for
a complete list of tasks covered in that section.
The Appendices provide an options listing, an accessories listing, and other
useful information.
In the Getting Started and Reference sections, you will find various procedures
which contain steps of instructions for you to perform. To keep those instructions
clear and consistent, this manual uses the following conventions:
Names of front-panel controls and menu labels appear in boldface print.
Names also appear in the same case (initial capitals, all uppercase, etc.) in
the manual as is used on the logic scope front panel and menus. Front panel
names are all upper case letters, for example, GROUP MENU and
GROUP 1.
Instruction steps are numbered. The number is omitted if there is only one
step.
When steps require that you make a sequence of selections using front-panel
controls and menu buttons, an arrow (
front panel button and a menu, or between menus. Also, whether a name is a
main menu or side menu item is clearly indicated: Press HORIZONTAL
MENU Record Length (main)
Trigger Position (main)
Using the convention just described results in instructions that are graphically
intuitive and simplifies procedures. For example, the instruction just given
replaces these five steps:
1. Press the front-panel button HORIZONTAL MENU.
2. Press the main menu button Record Length.
