    Operations VOLTS/DIV Knob The VOLTS/DIV knob is used to change the vertical voltage scale. On the screen’s lower-left corner, a voltage scale (for each division is) displayed. There are 8 vertical divisions on the screen. For example, if the corner displays “CH1 2.00V”, this means that the voltage scale is 2 Volts for each vertical division and the voltage distance from top to bottom of all 8 divisions on the screen is 16 Volts.

  • Page 30 H. Waveform Waveform has four modes: “Normal”, “Intensity”, “Bezier”, and “Dot”. “Normal” displays the exact waveform captured by DS-1000 in real time. “Intensity” copies the Intensity characters on the screen and retains the old waveform on the screen until the new waveform appears; then the old waveform fades out.

In the “Hot-Key Setting” dialogue box, you may create “Hot Key” with function(s) or sub-function(s) in a “define” list, or you can delete the “Hot Key”...
  • Page 32: Save/Recall

    Functionality Save/Recall Save/Recall saves or recalls waveforms for comparison purposes. There are four reference waveforms that can be used (save/recall). Enter “Save/Recall” in the dialog box and save the waveform to file as in the dialog box (on the right), then use the saved file waveform as the reference.
  • Page 33: Acquire

    “ETS” records high-frequency repetitive waveform signals and merges them to display a finely defined waveform. However, when the SEC/DIV setting is > 500ns, the DS-1000 will automatically switch to “Sample” mode. “Average” mode is used to average the noise of signals.
