Chapter 5 Vertical System

5.4.2 Filter

Open the channel menu, find the "bandwidth" selection box in the channel menu, and set the bandwidth limit, high-

pass filter and low-pass filter as needed.

100M

: Allow signals of all frequencies to pass.

Low Pass

: Only allow signals that are lower than the upper limit of the current set frequency to pass.

The frequency range that can be set for the low-pass filter is 30kHz-100MHz.

The difference in bandwidth limitation can be visually expressed through the waveform. The 100M bandwidth is

shown in Figure 5-10, and the low-pass bandwidth is shown in Figure 5-11.
