    BASICS Working with Traces Active vs. Inactive Trace The easiest way to turn on a trace is to press the front panel C1-C4, Math, and Zoom buttons. Provided there is a signal, a waveform appears on the Although several traces may be open and appear on the display, only one at grid, a new descriptor box opens at the bottom of the grid area, and the a time is active.

  • Page 18: 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.

    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.

  • Page 26: 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." From the Front Panel When you use the front panel Zoom button, a new Zoom trace is created for every open trace, showing a 10x magnification of the source trace.

    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 WaveSurfer 3000z Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual. All show the absolute value where the cursor intersects the waveform and the delta of the two lines.

    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. Operations can be chained by using one math function as a source for the other. The math trace always opens in a separate grid from the source and can be viewed along side it.
