horizontal SCALE to 250 ps, and be sure the vertical scale factor is kept
at 1.0X and the horizontal scale factor is 2.0X.
c. Save a CH 2 waveform: Press CH 2. Be sure the vertical scale factor is
kept at 1.0X. Then press save/recall WAVEFORM. Now, press the
main-menu button Save Wfm; then press the side-menu button
To Ref 2.
d. Save CH 3 waveform:
Move the coupler from CH 2 to CH 3, so that CH 1 and CH 3 are
driven. Press WAVEFORM OFF. Press CH 3. Be sure the vertical
scale factor is kept at 1.0X. Then press the side-menu button
To Ref 3.
e. Display all test signals:
Press WAVEFORM OFF to remove CH 3 from the display.
Display the live waveform. Move the coupler from CH 3 to CH 4,
so that CH 1 and CH 4 are driven. Press CH 4 to display. Be sure
the vertical scale factor is kept at 1.0X. See Figure 1–10 on page
1–36.
Display the reference waveforms. To do this, press the front-panel
button MORE. Press the main-menu buttons Ref 2 and Ref 3. You
may notice their overlapping ground reference indicators. See Figure
1–10 on page 1–36.
f. Measure the test signal:
Locate the time reference points for these waveforms. Do this by
first identifying the point where the rising edge of the left-most
waveform crosses the center horizontal graticule line. Next, note the
corresponding time reference point for the right-most waveform. See
Figure 1–10 on page 1–36.
Press CURSOR.
Press the main-menu button Function; then press the side-menu
button V Bars.
Press CLEAR MENU.
Align one V bar cursor to the time reference point of the left-most
waveform edge and the other cursor to the time reference point of the
right-most waveform edge by rotating the General Purpose knob.
(Press SELECT to switch between the two cursors.) See Figure
1–10 on page 1–36.
