How to Set the Vertical System
The
VERTICAL CONTROLS
includes three menu buttons such as
CH1
,
CH2
and
Math
,
and four knobs such as
Vertical Position
,
Vertical Scale
for each channel.
Setting of CH1 and CH2
Each channel has an independent vertical menu and each item is set respectively based on
the channel.
To turn waveforms on or off (channel, math)
Pushing the
CH1
,
CH2
, or
Math
buttons have the following effect:
• If the waveform is off, the waveform is turned on and its menu is displayed.
• If the waveform is on and its menu is not displayed, its menu will be displayed.
• If the waveform is on and its menu is displayed, the waveform is turned off and its menu
goes away.
The description of the Channel Menu is shown as the following list:

Step by 1 – 2 – 5. Match this to the probe attenuation
factor to have an accurate reading of vertical scale.

Turn the
M
knob to set the Amps/Volts ratio. The
range is 100 mA/V - 1 KA/V.
Amps/Volts ratio
= 1/Resistor value
Volts/Amp ratio is automatically calculated.

To set channel coupling
Taking the Channel 1 for example, the measured signal is a square wave signal containing
the direct current bias. The operation steps are shown as below:
(1)
Push the
CH1
button to show the CH1 SETUP menu.
(2)
Select
Coupling
in the bottom menu.
