1. 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)
Press the
CH1 MENU
button and call out the CH1 SETUP menu.
(2)
Press the
H1
button, the Coupling menu will display at the screen.
(3)
Press the
F1
button to select the Coupling item as "
DC
". Both DC and AC
components of the signal are passed.
(4)
Then, press
F2
button to select the Coupling item as "
AC
". The direct current
component of the signal is blocked. The waveforms are shown as Fig.5-2.

2. To adjust the probe attenuation.
For correct measurements, the attenuation coefficient settings in the operating
menu of the Channel should always match what is on the probe (see "
How to Set
the Probe Attenuation Coefficient
" on P14). If the attenuation coefficient of the
