Panels and User Interface

The first thing to do with a new oscilloscope is to know its panels. This chapter helps
to be familiar with the layout of the knobs and keys and how to use them. Read the
chapter carefully before further operations.
The Front Panel
The front panel is divided into "function menu", "run control", "trigger control",
"horizontal control" and "vertical control" areas.
Thereinto, five grey menu buttons which lie beside LCD screen (defined No.1 to No.5)
are used to switch current menu options. Other function buttons are used to enable
the access to many measurement features associated with advanced functions,
mathematics, reference or to run control features. In addition, multi-function knob is
available to adjust waveform brightness or switch menus, but others are applied to
adjust offset, volts/div or s/div.
