4.11.1.3.1.8 Scope
The scope measurement screen is a convenient way to acquire signal measurements from alternating or
CW power signals. With a sampling rate of up to 100 kS/s a resolution of 10µs can be achieved.
Shown below is the Scope measurement screen as it appears while running a measurement. This is indic-
ated in the top row labeled "RUN". Other measurement screens are only accessible when the measure-
ment is stopped.
Aside from the side panel, the following settings on the bottom of the screen can be adjusted: Display res-
olution settings, Time Base, Trigger Source, and Trigger Mode. When touching the box, its set value ap-
pears in a yellow box. Adjust it and the new setting is implemented.
In scope mode, either an
trigger through the BNC TTL Input/Output connector or
the Digital I/O connector can be used in the measurements. Use the settings on the bottom of the display
to select the trigger source and the trigger mode. Please see the respective chapters for more informa-
tion.
