11. Turn the vertical Scale and vertical Position knobs to optimize the display.
12. Push Persist ► Infinite.
As you adjust the ambient temperature, the display persistence captures the
changes in the characteristics of the circuit.
You want to use the oscilloscope to record data from a source over time. You
can configure the trigger conditions and direct the oscilloscope to save all the
triggered waveform together with timing information over a defined time duration
to a USB memory device.
1. Configure the oscilloscope to use the desired trigger conditions to collect the
data. Also, insert a USB memory device in the front-panel USB port.
2. Push the front-panel Utility button.
3. Select Data Logging from the resulting side menu to bring up the data
logging menu.
4. Push Data Logging from the side menu to select On. This enables the data
logging feature. When the feature is enabled but not yet triggering, the
oscilloscope will display a "Data Logging – Waiting for trigger" message.
Before turning on the data logging feature, you must first select the source, the
time duration, and the folder.
5. Push the Source button to select the signal source to log data from. You can
use either one of the input channels or the Math waveform.
6. Push the Duration button as many times as needed or use the multipurpose
knob to select the duration for data logging. The selections range from 0.5
hour to 8 hours in 30 minute increments and from 8 hours to 24 hours in
60 minute increments. You can select Infinite to run data logging with no
set time limit.
7. Push the Select Folder button to define where to store the collected
information. The resulting menu choices will let you either select an existing
folder or define a new folder. When done, push Back to return to the main
data logging menu
8. Start the data acquisition, such as by pushing either the front-panel Single
or Run/Stop button.
9. When the oscilloscope finishes the requested data logging operation, it
displays a "Data logging completed" message and turns off the data logging
feature.
