Save /Open modes
The graph can be saved and opened either as a bitmap image or as a data.
The saved data can be afterwards retrieved for further examination. Select
Multiple Trace Mode
from Options menu if the saved data contains more
than one trace. In this mode it is possible to continue the measurements. The
new trace data will be appended to the retrieved data.
The bitmap image can only be viewed "as is".

Automatic Voltage Scale
When this option is selected the oscillos cope automatically changes the
voltage scale if the input signal is too low or too high. To avoid oscilloscope's
voltage scale overdrive by DC it is good to do the following operations before
the start of the measurements:
•
Turn the oscilloscope's input switch to AC position.
•
Adjust the scope's trace to the middle of the screen.
Note:
When oscilloscope's input switch is in AC position there is attenuation
at frequencies below 5Hz. For the tests at low frequencies use DC coupling
and be aware of the possible oscilloscope display overdrive at the most
sensitive Volt/DIV ranges.
Show Multiple Traces
This option allows you to display many traces on the same graph. You can
even change the frequency scale between the measurements.
Frequency Step Size
This option allows the change of the frequency step size. The size can be set
in % of the default step size. The default step is equal to the
Start
frequency
if the checkbox
Log. Freq. Step
is not checked and equal to the first frequency
of each decade if the checkbox is checked.
Wait Time
Use this option to add a delay of 1s to 10s before the RMS value is measured
at each frequency. Delay may be needed for circuit stabilization.
