Acquire the Signal

Acquire the Signal

This section describes concepts of and procedures for setting up the oscilloscope to acquire the signal as you want it to.

Setting Up Analog Channels

Use front-panel buttons and knobs to set up your instrument to acquire signals using the analog channels.

Connect the P6139A or TekVPI probe to the
input signal source.
