OVERVIEW
Front Panel
Most of the front panel controls duplicate functionality available through the
touch screen display. They are covered in more detail in the Basics section
and in the
WaveSurfer 3000z Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual
.
Shortcut buttons
arranged across the top of the front panel give quick
access to commonly used functions. Other shortcut buttons arranged
across the bottom (Decode, WaveScan, etc.) open special applications.
The
Print button
captures the entire screen and handles it according to your
Hardcopy settings (e.g., print, email, or save to file), or creates a Notebook
Entry in LabNotebook if configured for it.
The
Touch Screen button
enables or disables touch screen functionality.
The
Adjust knob
changes the value in any highlighted data entry field when
turned. Pushing the Adjust knob toggles between coarse (large increment) or
fine (small increment) adjustments. Adjust is also used to control the trace
intensity value when the
Intensity button
is turned on (lit).
All the knobs on the front panel function one way if
turned and another if pushed like a button. The first
label describes the knob’s principal “turn” action; the
second label describes its “push” action.
Front panel buttons light to indicate which functions
and traces are active.
