Advanced User Guidebook

Up till now, you have already been familiar with the basic operations of the function areas,

buttons and knobs in the front panel of the oscilloscope. Based the introduction of the

previous Chapter, the user should have an initial knowledge of the determination of the

change of the oscilloscope setting through observing the status bar. If you have not been

familiar with the above-mentioned operations and methods yet, we advise you to read the

section of Chapter 3 "Junior User Guidebook".
This chapter will deal with the following topics mainly:



How to Set the Vertical System



How to Set the Horizontal System



How to Set the Trigger/Decoding System



How to Implement the Sampling Setup



How to Set the Display System



How to Save and Recall Waveform



How to Record/Playback Waveforms



How to Clone and Recall a waveform



How to Implement the Auxiliary System Function Setting



How to Update your Instrument Firmware



How to Measure Automatically


