BASICS Vertical Vertical controls adjust analog traces along the Y axis. Traces represent eight Vertical divisions of the source signal at the selected number of Volts or Amperes per division. The zero level is at the center grid line unless you add positive or negative Offset.

Page 26: Horizontal (Timebase)
BASICS BASICS Horizontal (Timebase) Horizontal controls adjust traces along the X axis. Analog traces usually represent one acquisition of the source signal for 10 divisions of the selected Time per division. The trigger event is shown at the center of the grid, unless you add positive or negative Delay time, which shifts the triger point left or right. The front panel Time/div knob also controls the Horizontal Scale of zoom, math and memory traces, allowing you to "zoom in"... - Page 27 Center or use a Fixed Sample Auto will automatically (50%) of display, or Set To Zero removes Rate. maximize based on Lock to Trigger Delay. which channels are position (see pp.28-29). in use.

Page 28: Navigating Long Acquisitions
BASICS Navigating Long Acquisitions For signal acquisitions >2 Gpts, measurements and math calculations take place on only the center 2 Gpts—the "Analysis Zone". This area is marked on the source channel trace by grey shading applied outside of it (over the part not analyzed). You may need to reposition the trace so that the portion you wish to analyze falls within the Analysis Zone. - Page 29 Stop acquisition, then create a zoom trace of the area you wish to analyze. Apply math and measurements to the zoom rather than the channel trace. Math applied to a zoom is calculated on the entire trace (up to 2 Gpts). Highlighting on the source trace shows the zoomed area being analyzed. MDA/WaveRunner 8000HD Getting Started Guide...
- Page 30 BASICS Navigation Reference Changing the Navigation Reference setting can also help to reposition the acquired trace for analysis by selecting for different regions of the trace to remain centered as the Time/div changes: Centered (50%) scales divisions equally so that whatever is at the center (50%) grid line remains at the center of the display. Other events move in reference to the center as Time/div changes.
- Page 31 Now, when the Timebase is changed to 1 ms/div, the trigger event remains at its current position, but the rest of the trace shifts to the right as time "expands." The values associated with each horizontal grid division are different than when centered, although Time/div is still 1 ms/div. MDA/WaveRunner 8000HD Getting Started Guide...

Page 32: Triggers
BASICS Triggers Triggers tell the oscilloscope when to perform an acquisition. The acquisition starts as soon as the trigger is armed and all trigger conditions are met, unless postponed by a Holdoff count of time or number of trigger events. Trigger types and modes are described at more length in the WaveRunner/MDA 8000HD Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual. - Page 33 Choose trigger Type.

Page 34: Zoom
BASICS Zoom Zoom traces display a magnified portion of another trace. Any trace can be zoomed, although Zoom is most useful for channel traces, as it allows you to see the source at the original Timebase at the same time as the Zoom "close up." Zoom is also useful for analyzing regions of >2 Gpts acquisitions that fall outside the center Analysis Zone. - Page 35 Repeat on another section to reposition the same Zoom trace or create another Zoom trace. On the source trace setup dialog, touch Action Toolbar Zoom button to create a new zoom of just that source trace. MDA/WaveRunner 8000HD Getting Started Guide...

Page 36: Cursors

Page 38: Math
BASICS Math Math creates a new trace that displays the result of applying a mathematical function (e.g., Sum, Product, FFT) to one or more source traces. One important distinction between math functions and measurement parameters is that the result of math is always another waveform, whereas the result of measurement is a number. -
