Trace Settings
The Trace Settings option allows you to change how the vertical scale menu
selections are represented.
NOTES
This setting ONLY changes the vertical scale, the sweep (horizontal) scale is
NOT changed.
NOTES
When adjusting the vertical scale setting, it is important to remember that the
vertical scale is divided into 10 major divisions, and all scale adjustments
reflect this factor of 10. The division set of 10 cannot be changed, divisions
cannot be added or removed.
Trace Full Scale
- changes the dropdown vertical scale menu selections to full scale
mode, which represents the selected unit of measurement over the entire (full)
scale.
Example (
Selecting 10V, changes the vertical scale to a 10V volt
scale. The vertical scale is “always” divided by 10, therefore each division is
incremented by 1V.
Figure 3-29
Trace Per Division
- changes the dropdown vertical scale menu selections to
##
/div
mode, which in turn changes the vertical scale to represent
##
by division.
##
- represents (variable) what is being measured (voltage, amperage, pressure
etc.)
Example (
):
Selecting 1.0V/div, displays a vertical scale divided by
10. The vertical scale is “always” divided by 10, therefore each division is
incremented by 1.0V, thus a 10V scale.
