Subject to change without notice
amplitude variations ( e.g. noise) and frequency variations
(Jitter) are minimized or eliminated in the display.
The accuracy of the mean value evaluation increases as
the number of signal acquisition scans used for
evaluation is increased. One can select the number
between 2 and 512. The selected setting is displayed in
the readout. Of course, with increasing accuracy the
time required for this also increases.
To select a different value briefly press both

MODE
pushbuttons simultaneously. The

display
in the readout flashes indicating the setting mode. Now,
the value can be changed by briefly pressing the upper
or lower

pushbutton. The setting mode
can be exited by again briefly pressing the two
pushbuttons simultaneously. The setting mode will also
be switched off automatically if none of the two
pushbuttons is actuated during about 10 seconds.
The averaging begins anew after briefly pressing the
SINGLE (10)
pushbutton (
RESET
function).
Attention!
The pre- or post trigger will be automatically switched
off (PT0%) in the time base range from 100s/div to
50ms/div.
(9) ROL
- indicates ROLL mode.
In
ROLL
mode the
ROL
-LED is lit and the readout
displays
”ROL”
.
In this mode, the memory contents and thus also the
signal display, are continuously updated. Because signal
capture is untriggered, no idle states arise while waiting
for a new trigger event to start signal capture. With each
signal sampling the new value is shown on the right-
hand edge of the screen, while the previously captured
data are shifted to the left. The leftmost value is shifted
out of the memory and lost.
The recording can be stopped at any time by selecting
the
HOLD (7)
function.
ROLL
mode can only be used with time coefficients
from 100s/div to 50ms/div, as lower time coefficients
(faster time base speeds) are impractical.
If the time base is set to values between 20ms/div and
100ns/div and ROLL mode is selected, the time base
will be automatically set to 50ms/div. The time deflection
coefficient set previously before switching to ROLL
mode will be internally stored (e.g. 20ms/div). If ROLL
mode has been selected inadvertently and the
TIME/
DIV.
knob has not been changed, the time base will be
automatically set to the internally stored coefficient when
switching from
ROLL
to
AVERAGE
mode.
(10) SINGLE
- Pushbutton with two functions and associated
LEDs.
SINGLE
Pressing and holding this pushbutton switches the
SINGLE
event capturing mode on or off.
SINGLE
mode
is indicated by the associated
SGL
-LED.
SINGLE
mode is available in digital as well as in analog
mode and remains unchanged when switching over from
analog to digital mode or vice versa. The main purpose
of
SINGLE
is the capture of one time events, but it can
also be used in combination with repetitive signals.
SINGLE
mode automatically selects
A time base
mode
and normal triggering (
NM
-LED lit). Otherwise the
automatic trigger (
AT
) would occur without an input
(trigger) signal.
If the trigger circuit is activated by
RESET
, one time
base sweep (analog mode) or one complete data
acquisition (digital mode) is performed after a suited
signal caused triggering. Switching over to SINGLE in
analog mode interrupts the time base sweep and blanks
the beam.
Storage mode only
Selecting SINGLE stops the current data acquisition. Until
a new data acquisition is started, the memory content
is displayed continuously.
In combination with
Yt
(time base) mode, SINGLE is
indicated by the readout. It displays the actual pre- or
post trigger value and
”SGL”
instead of ”RFR”, ”ENV”,
”AV...” or ”ROL”. If
XY
mode is active the A time
deflection coefficient is replaced by the sampling rate
(e.g. 100MSa/s) display in the readout and additionally
the trigger regarding information is switched off.
Attention!
If SINGLE mode is present in combination with
DUAL mode, the minimum time coefficient is 2µs/
div instead of 100ns/div. Similarly if X-MAG. x10 is
operative, then 200ns/div replaces 10ns/div.
ANALOG MODE ONLY
Selecting
SINGLE
mode switches the current sweep
off and blanks the screen.
SINGLE
mode is indicated by the lit
SGL-LED
and the
readout displaying
SGL
next to the /
(SLOPE)
symbol.
RESET (RES)
Briefly pressing the
SINGLE
pushbutton causes a
RESET
activating the trigger circuit if Yt mode is active. The
result depends on the current signal capture mode.
STORAGE MODE ONLY
a)
In combination with
SINGLE
, briefly pressing the
SINGLE
pushbutton activates the
RESET
function. Then
both LEDs (
SGL
and
RES
) are lit. Whether the
RES-
LED
flashes once or is lit constantly, depends on:
1. the presence or absence of a trigger signal,
2. the selected time coefficient (time base) and
3. the pre- or post trigger setting.
After the
RESET
function is switched on, the signal
acquisition will be effective at once if the
HOLD
function
is not active. If the pre trigger function is active, the
prehistory must elapse before the trigger event becomes
effective. The signal capture terminates with the trigger
event only with 100% pre trigger setting.
With all other pre trigger and post trigger settings, the
signal acquisition is not complete when the trigger occurs
