Vertical/Histogram Display Range
Display measurement range is settable as Center
and Span, or Minimum and Maximum. For frequency
measurements, the maximum display value can be
selected no larger than eight times the minimum
display value.
Timebase
Main Timebase
Range:
Panorama Off: 1 µs/div to 1 s/div
Panorama On: 1 to 20 times the window timebase setting
(standard); 1 to 80 times the window timebase
(Option 001)
Window Timebase
Range: 1 µs/div to 1 s/div
Position: Adjustable throughout the panorama
Trigger
Display Position: Left, Center, or Right
Delay: Adjustable
Dual timebases allow you to capture all the information you want,
as shown in the panorama, while analyzing measurement details
in the window.

Calibration and Diagnostic routines
Autoscale
Setup parameters are automatically determined
to display the dynamics of the input signal.
Measurement function and input conditioning
should be selected prior to pressing Autoscale.
Automated Analysis
Built-in analysis functions include: Minimum,
Maximum, Peak to Peak, Mean, 1/Mean, Standard
Deviation, (Modulation) Rate, 1/Rate, and
Probability.
Save/Recall
Ten measurement setups can be stored and
recalled.
