To set up the time base
The following exercise guides you through the time base keys, knobs, and
status line.
1
Turn the Time/Div knob and notice the change it makes to the status
line.
The Time/Div knob changes the sweep speed from 2 ns to 5 s in a 1-2-5 step
sequence, and the value is displayed in the status line.
2
Change the horizontal setup and notice that each change affects the
status line differently.
•
Press
Main/Delayed
.
A softkey menu appears on the display with six softkey choices.
•
Toggle each of the softkeys and notice which keys cause the status line to
change.
There is also a horizontal vernier softkey that allows the Time/Div
knob to change the sweep speed in smaller increments. These smaller
increments are calibrated, which results in accurate measurements
even with the vernier turned on.
