NOTE. These knobs are automatically mapped when certain functions are performed, for example, when the MultiView Zoom
button is pushed.

Bandwidth readout (BW)

Nominal system bandwidth consists of a combination of factors including, but not limited to, probe bandwidth, probe tip
bandwidth, and bandwidth selections made in the Vertical Setup Control Window.

Select the probe controls

From the Vertical menu, select Vertical Setup.

Overview. The Probe controls provide access to the Probe Setup, Compensation, Deskew, and Attenuation control windows.

 

 

To use. Click the Probe buttons to display the Probe Setup control windows:

Use 

Setup

 to configure the attached probe type. The setup will vary depending on the individual probe you connect.

Use 

Cal

 to check the status of the attached probe and to compensate the entire signal path from the probe tip to the

digitized signal.

Use 

Deskew

 to compensate the vertical channels for propagation delays of different length probes.

Use 

Atten

 to change the default attenuation or gain for the selected probe channel.

What do you want to do next?

Learn more about the Attenuation controls.
