Horizontal Scale:
Select the desired horizontal (time) scale using this field. The time
scale has 8 divisions from the left to the right of the scale. The time selections range from
.1 to 10 mS. This is the time for one of the scale divisions.
5.
Gain
Sets the gain to add to the input signal, in increments of 6dB. This is useful to see a
very low input or noise signal on the scope. The range is 0 to 96 dB. The gain scale
reflects the scale of the digital 16-bit input stage. If you see what looks like clipping on
the maximum vertical scale as the signal runs into the top of the display, then you are
over-driving the inputs
.
Select a lower gain setting.
6.
Display Mode
: Selects the display to show the right, left or sum of both the left and right
input waveforms. The table below lists the input modes and shows the resultant display on
the scope screen and the bar graph level meter
