    921447-00 Rev A Front Panel Most of the front panel controls duplicate functionality available through the touch screen display. They are covered in more detail in the Basics section and in the HDO6000 Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual. Below are a few useful front panel controls.
  • Page 24 USER INTERFACE The Adjust knob changes the value in any highlighted data entry field when turned. Pushing the Adjust knob toggles between coarse (large increment) or fine (small increment) adjustments when the knob is turned. The Intensity button sets the Adjust knob to control the trace intensity. When more data is available than can actually be displayed, the Intensity button helps to visualize significant events by applying an algorithm that dims less frequently occurring samples.

These are described in more detail in the HDO6000 Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual.
  • Page 32: Measurements & Statistics

    BASICS Measurements & Statistics Measurements are waveform parameters that can be expressed as numerical values, such as amplitude or frequency. You can set up-to-eight simultaneous measurements on one or more channel traces and view the active readout in a table. Statistical measurements can be added to the table of parameter values.
  • Page 33 921447-00 Rev A Histogram Histograms represent the statistical distribution of measurement values within an incremental range (bin) as a bar chart. Touch the Parameter tab (P<#>), then touch the Histogram button to open a histogram of that parameter in a new grid. Trend A trend is a waveform composed of a series of parameter measurements in the order the measurements were taken.
  • Page 34: Math

    BASICS Math Math traces display the result of applying a mathematical function (e.g., FFT) to one or more channel 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. Choose Math >...
  • Page 35: Spectrum Analyzer

    921447-00 Rev A Spectrum Analyzer The Spectrum Analyzer software lets you quickly and easily use the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) for frequency analysis. The controls are the same as you would find on an RF spectrum analyzer. You set the inputs and desired frequency span, and the oscilloscope automatically generates output in units relevant to the frequency domain.
  • Page 36: Memories (Reference Waveforms)

    BASICS Memories (Reference Waveforms) Memories are traces stored for reference. They can be recalled to the display for comparison with other traces. A memory can be zoomed or measured for better analysis of historical data. You can store up-to-four internal memories (M1-M4). After that, new memories will overwrite previously stored data.
  • Page 37: Documenting

    921447-00 Rev A Documenting HDO6000 Oscilloscopes offer several ways to preserve and share data—such as print, save to file, email, or save as Notebook Entry— any of which can be associated with the front panel Print button. Go to Utilities > Utilities Preferences > Hardcopy Setup to configure how the oscilloscope handles the Print command.
  • Page 38: Temperature Dependent Calibration

    BASICS Temperature Dependent Calibration The HDO6000 is calibrated at the factory prior to being shipped. This calibration is run at 23° C (± 2° C) and is valid for temperatures ± 5° C of the original calibration temperature. Within this temperature range the HDO6000 will meet all of the specifications. When the oscilloscope is used outside of this temperature range a temperature dependent calibration is recommended.
