    OVERVIEW Touch Screen Display The entire display is a capacitive touch screen. Use your finger or a capacitive stylus (not included) to touch, double-touch, touch-and-drag, or draw a selection box. Many controls that display information also work as “buttons” to access other functions. If you have a mouse installed, you can click anywhere you can touch to activate a control;...

  • Page 22: Vertical

    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. The front panel Volts knob also controls the Vertical Scale of zoom, math and memory traces.

    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 28: Navigating Long Acquisitions

    BASICS Navigating Long Acquisitions For signal acquisitions >500 Mpts, measurements and math calculations take place on only the center 500 Mpts—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 BASICS Navigating with Zoom 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 500 Mpts). Highlighting on the source trace shows the zoomed area being analyzed.
  • 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 BASICS A Navigation Reference of Lock to Trigger rescales divisions around the trigger point. The trigger event remains in place as Time/div changes, while other events move in reference to the trigger. If the trigger is currently placed at time zero, this will appear to behave the same as Centered, but the difference will be apparent if you have used Delay to shift the trigger position.
  • 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 WavePro HD Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual.

  • 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 >500 Mpts acquisitions that fall outside the center Analysis Zone.

Repeat on another section to reposition the Zoom trace. On the source trace setup dialog, touch Action Toolbar Zoom button to create a new zoom of just that source trace.
  • Page 36: Cursors

    BASICS Cursors Cursors set measurement points on the Vertical or Horizontal axis of a trace (or both). The five preset cursor types are described in more detail in the WavePro HD Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual. From the Front Panel Adjust cursor position. Apply cursor.
  • Page 37: 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-12 simultaneous measurements and view the active readout in a table below the grid. Statistics can be displayed, along with histicons, a miniature histogram of the statistical distribution.
  • 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.
  • Page 39: 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-12 internal memories (M1-M12). After that, new memories will overwrite previously stored data. Internal memories persist only until the oscilloscope is rebooted.
