You should now see three waveforms on your scope’s display as shown in
. The purple waveform is the result of the scope’s math function of
subtracting the channel-2 waveform from the channel-1 waveform.
Note that to change the scaling of the math waveform, you can use the knobs on
the right-hand side of the scope’s front panel near the
[Math]
key.
Let’s now vary the phase shift of the two sine waves and observe the results.
12
Press the
[Help]
front panel key; the press the
Training Signals
softkey.
13
Press the
Phase
softkey; then turn the Entry knob to vary the phase shift. You
can also tap the angle value to set it yourself.
When the phase shift is exactly 180 degrees, the resultant math waveform will be
at its highest amplitude as expected. When the phase shift is exactly 0 or 360
degrees, the resultant math waveform flat-lines (0.0 V). Let’s now perform a more
complex math function; FFT (Fast Fourier Transform).

softkey to turn
it on.

Set channel-1’s V/div setting to
500 mV/div
