To Enable the Channel
DS1000Z provides 4 analog input channels (CH1-CH4) and each channel can be
controlled independently. As the vertical syste m setting method s of the 4 channels
are completely the same, this chapter takes CH1 as an example to introduce the
setting method of the vertical system.
Connect a signal to the channel connect or of CH 1 and the n p ress CH1 in the v ertical
control area (VERTICAL) at the front panel to enable CH1. At this point, the channe l
setting menu is displa yed at the right side of the screen an d the channel label at t he
bottom of the screen (as shown in the figure below) is highlighted. The information
displayed in the channel label is related to the current channel setting.
After the channel is turned on, modify the para meters such as the vertical s c ale, the
horizontal time base, the trigger mode and the trigger level according to the input
signal to make the waveform displayed easy to observe and measure.

Channel Coupling
Set the coupling mode to f ilter out the undesired signals. For example, the signal
under test is a square waveform with DC offset.
When the coupling mode is “DC”: the DC and AC components of the signal under
test can both pass the channel.
When the coupling mode is “AC”: the DC components of the signal under test
are blo cked. The waveform displayed always takes the zero voltage as the
center.
When the coupling mode is “GND”: the DC and AC components of the signal
under test are both blocked.
Press CH1 Coupling and use to select the desired coupling mode (the
default is DC). The current coupling mode is displayed in the channel label at the
bottom of the screen. You can also press Coupling continuously to switch the
coupling mode.
DC AC GND
Bandwidth Limit
DS1000Z supports the bandwidth limit function. The bandwidth limit can reduce the
noise in the waveform displayed. For example, the signal under test is a pulse with
high frequency oscillation.
When bandwidth limit is disabled, the high frequenc y comp onents of the signal
under test can pass the channel.
Enable bandwidth limit and limit the bandwidth to 20 MHz, the high frequency
components that exceed 20 MHz are attenuated.

normal. Press CH1 Invert to enable or disable wave form invert.
Vertical Scale
The vertical scale refers to the voltage value per grid in the vertical direction on the
screen and is usually expressed in V/div. Adjusting the vertical scale will change the
size of the waveform displayed. The vertical scale can be adjusted in “Coarse” or
“Fine” mode.
Press CH1 Volts/Div to select the desired mode. Rotate VERTICAL SCALE
to adjust the vertical scale (clockwise to reduce the scale and counterclockwise to
increase).
The scale information (as shown in the figure below) in the channel label at the
bottom of the screen will change accordingly during the adjustment. The adjustable
rang e o f the vertical scale is related to the probe ratio currently set. By default, the
probe ratio is 10X and the adjustable range of the vertical scale is from 10 mV/div to
100 V/div.
Coarse adjustment (take counter clockwise a s an example): s et the v ertical s cale
in 1-2-5 step namely 1 mV/div, 2 mV/div, 5 mV/div, 10 mV/div…10 V/div.
Fine adjustment: further adjust the vertical scale within a relatively smaller
range to improve v e rtical r esolution. If the a mplitude of the input waveform is a
little bit greater than the full scale under the current scale and the amplitude
would be a little bit lower if the next scale is used, fine adjustment can be used
to improve the amplitude of waveform display to view signal details.

For trigger, you set certain trigger condition according to the requirement and when
a waveform in the waveform stream meets this condition, the oscilloscope captures
this waveform as well as the nei ghbourin g pa rt and displa ys t he m on the s creen. For
digital oscilloscope, it displays waveform continuously no matter whether it is stably
triggered, bu t only stable trigger can ensure st able display. The trigger circuit
ensures that every time base sweep or acquisition starts from the input signal and
the user-defined trigger condition, namely every sweep is synchronous to the
acquisition and the waveforms acquired overlap to display stable waveform.
Trigger setting should be based on the features of the input signal, thus you need to
have some knowledge of the signal under test to quickly capture the desired
waveform. This os cilloscope provides abundant adv anced trigger f unctions which can
help you to focus on t he desired waveform details.

the oscilloscope overflows the pre-trigger buff er and the first data put into the buffer
is first pushed out (First Input First Out, FIFO). When a trigger is found, the

trigger is found, the oscilloscope will t rigger forcef ully. If fo rceful trigger is invali d, the
oscilloscope still displays w a vef orm but the w av ef orm is not sta ble; if forceful trigger
is valid, the oscilloscope displays stable waveform.
This trigger mode is applicable to low-repetitive-rate signals and unknown signal
levels. To display DC signals, you must use auto trigger mode.
Note: When the horizontal time base is set to 50 ms/div or greater, this trigger mode
allows the absence of trigger signal.

Pattern Trigger
Identify a trigger condition by lookin g for a specified pattern. This pattern is a logi cal
“AND” combination of the valuesof the four channels. Each channel can have a value
of high (H), low (L) or don ’t care ( X) . A ris ing o r fall ing edge can be s pecif ied f or one
channel included in the pattern. When an edge is specified, the oscilloscope will
trigger at the edge specified if the pattern set for the other channel is true (H or L). If
no edge is specified, the oscilloscope will trigger on the last edge that makes the
pattern true. If both the channels in the pattern are set to “Don’t Care”, the
oscilloscope will not trigger.
