Subject to change without notice

trigger coupling for the 

B

 time base. As the instrument

contains a separate trigger unit for the 

B

 time base, the

trigger level and slope can be set independently using
the same controls used before for the 

A

 time base trigger

setting. The trigger point is indicated again but has the
added letter 

B

 in the readout.

In delay trigger mode 

(DEL.TRIG.)

, the delay signal first

must elapse. Then the next suitable signal slope
(direction and height) starts the 

B

 time base. If those

basic requirements are not met, the trace is blanked in
analog mode and the signal acquisition is stopped in
digital mode. Under the condition that the signal contains
several suitable slopes after the delay time, it can be
seen in alternate time base mode that the delay time
setting 

(DEL. POS.)

 now causes the intensified sector

to jump from one slope to the other.

VAR.

ANALOG MODE ONLY

Pressing and holding the 

DEL.TRIG. - VAR.

 pushbutton

selects the 

TIME/DIV. (29) 

control knob function

between time base switch and vernier (variable). The
current setting is displayed by the 

VAR-

LED located

above the knob.

The variable function can be activated for the 

A

 time base

or the 

B

 time base, the settings are stored separately. As

alternate

 time base mode is a 

B

 time base sub mode,

only the 

B

 time base is affected in this operation.

time base

:

After switching the 

VAR

-LED on, the time deflection

coefficient is still calibrated. Turning the 

TIME/DIV.

 

(29)

control knob counter clockwise increases the time
deflection coefficient (reduces the deflection speed) and
the deflection coefficient becomes uncalibrated. Instead
of e.g. “

A:

10µs”, the readout then displays “

A>

10µs”

indicating the uncalibrated condition.

This setting is stored if the instrument is switched to

alternate

 or 

B

 time base mode.

Pressing and holding the 

DEL.TRIG. - VAR.

 pushbutton

again in 

A

 time base mode switches the 

VAR.

-LED off,

the time base switch function on, and sets the time
deflection coefficient back into the calibrated condition.

ALTERNATE 

or

 B 

time base

.

In 

alternate

 as well as in 

B

 time base mode, pressing

and holding the 

DEL.TRIG. -

 

VAR.

 pushbutton selects

the 

TIME/DIV.

 knob function between 

B

 time base

switch and 

B

 vernier (

VAR

. -LED on). In the latter case

the 

TIME/DIV.

 knob can be used in the same way as

described before under 

A

 time base condition.

STORAGE MODE ONLY

Pressing and holding the 

DEL.TRIG. - VAR.

 pushbutton

causes no reaction, as a variable time deflection
coefficient setting is not possible in storage mode.

Underneath the front panel sector described before,
the BNC sockets and four pushbuttons are located.

(32) INPUT CH I

 – BNC socket.

This BNC socket is the signal input for 

channel I

. In 

XY

mode, signals at this input are used for the 

Y

 deflection.

The outer (ground) connection is galvanically connected
to the instrument ground and consequently to the safety
earth contact of the line/main plug.

(33) AC / DC 

- Pushbutton with two functions.

Input coupling:

Briefly pressing this pushbutton switches over from

 AC

(

symbol) to

 DC 

(

symbol) input coupling and vice

versa, if the 

INPUT CHI (32)

 is not switched to

 GD (34)

.

The

 AC/DC

 setting is displayed in the readout with the

deflection coefficient.

Probe factor:

Pressing and holding the pushbutton selects the indicated
deflection coefficient of channel I displayed in the readout,
between

 1:1 

and

 10:1

. In condition 10:1 the probe factor

is thus indicated by a probe symbol displayed by the
readout in front the channel information (e.g.

  ”probe

symbol”

,

 Y1...

). In the case of cursor voltage measu-

rement, the probe factor is automatically included.

Please note:
The probe symbol should not be activated unless
a x10 (10:1) attenuator probe is used.

(34) GD

 INV. 

- Pushbutton with two functions.

GD

Each time this pushbutton is pressed briefly, the 

INPUT

CHI

 is switched from active to inactive and vice versa.

It is displayed in the readout as an earth (ground) symbol
instead of the deflection coefficient and the

 ~ (AC) 

or

 =

(DC) 

symbol.

The

 GD 

setting disables the input signal, the

 AC/DC (33)

input coupling selection and the

 VOLTS/DIV (21) 

knob. In

automatic trigger mode the undeflected trace is visible
representing the ”0 Volt” trace position. See

 Y-POS. I (14)

.

INV.

Pressing and holding this pushbutton switches the
channel I invert 

(INV.)

 function on or off. The invert ”on”

condition is indicated by the readout with a horizontal
bar above 

”Y1” 

(Yt mode) or

 ”Y” 

(XY mode). The invert

function causes the signal display of channel I to be
inverted by 180°.

(35) Ground socket

 - 4mm banana jack galvanically con-

nected to safety earth.

This socket can be used as a reference potential con-
nection for DC and low frequency signal measurement
purposes and in COMPONENT TEST mode.

(36) INPUT CH II

 – BNC socket.

This BNC socket is the signal input for 

channel II

. In 

XY

mode, signals at this input are used for the 

X

 deflection.

The outer (ground) connection is galvanically connected
to the instrument ground and consequently to the safety
earth contact of the line/main plug.

(37) AC / DC 

- Pushbutton with two functions.

Input coupling:

Briefly pressing this pushbutton switches over from

 AC
