How to Use this Manual
Structure of the Manual
This User’s Manual consists of 16 chapters, an Appendix and an Index as described below.
Chapter Title
Description
1
Functions
Describes measurement principles and functions. Although this
section does not give a description of the operating methods, it
will help you to understand the basic operations.
2
Name and Use of
Gives the name of each part and describes how to use it.
Each Part
The corresponding reference pages for panel keys and the
rotary knobs are also given.
3

date and time.
4
Common Operations
Describes the operations used to make settings, such as start/
stop acquisition, auto set-up and initialization of each setting as
well as operations, such as snapshot, clear trace and calibration,
that are used frequently during operation.
5
Setting the Vertical
Describes how to turn channels ON/OFF, how to make
and Horizontal Axes
settings, such as input coupling, probe attenuation and vertical
sensitivity, that are related to the vertical axis (voltage axis), as
well as how to make settings related to the horizontal axis (time
axis).
6
Activating a Trigger
Describes trigger setting operations, such as those for setting
trigger mode, trigger type, trigger source and trigger level, that
enable you to determine acquisition timing.
7
Changing Acquisition
Describes how to make acquisition condition settings, such as

as well as how to make display condition settings, such as
waveform expansion, interpolation, accumulation, X-Y display
and graticule.
8
Analyzing Waveforms
Describes how to measure waveforms using cursors, perform
automatic measurement of waveform parameters and waveform
math, and how to display the power spectrum obtained by FFT
computation.
9
Performing a
Describes how to perform a GO/NO-GO action by setting the

detecting whether the input signal waveform is within the
specified range (zone or limits).
