BASICS
Zoom and Gate
The
Zoom+Gate
shortcut button creates a new zoom trace of every active source waveform, including the Sync source(s), and every synthesized per-cycle
Waveform. All zooms now can be controlled as a single, multi-zoom group by using the front panel Horizontal knobs or the touch screen controls. When
using this feature, measurements shown on the Numerics and Statistics tables are gated to the number of measurement cycles shown in the zooms.
Press Zoom+Gate again to turn off the zooms and return to the original display and full horizontal scale (non-gated) measurements.
All zooms
controlled as a
group. Turn Delay
knob or touch and
drag any zoom
to pan the group
and find events of
interest.
Number of measurement cycles matches number shown in
zooms (best seen on Sync signal zoom with cycle overlay).
All measurements
gated to width of
zooms.
