5.2To Adjust the Vertical Scale
on the front panel
Vertical scale indicates the voltage value per grid in the vertical axis of the screen. It is
often expressed in V/div. While you adjust the vertical scale, the display amplitude of
the waveform would enlarge or reduce. The scale information of the channel status
label at the bottom of the screen would change accordingly.
The adjustable range of the vertical scale is related to the currently set probe ratio
and input impedance. By default, the probe ratio is 1X and the input impedance is 1
MΩ. In this case, the adjustable range of the vertical scale is from 1 mV/div to 10 V/
div.
Caution
When the vertical scale is 1 mV/div and 2 mV/div, the 250M bandwidth limit will be
enabled automatically.
When CH1 is turned on, you can adjust the vertical scale with the following methods:
•Rotate the knob that corresponds to CH1 to adjust the vertical scale (clockwise
to reduce the scale and counterclockwise to increase).
•Enable the touch screen function, and then adjust the vertical scale with the
pinch & stretch gesture on the touch screen. For details, refer to descriptions in
Pinch&Stretch
.
•In the Vertical system menu, click or tap the icon at the right side of the input
field of Scale to increase or decrease the scale value. You can also tap the input
field to input a specific value with the displayed numeric keypad.
In the Vertical system menu, select ON or OFF to enable or disable the fine
adjustment. By default, it is OFF. You can also press down the vertical scale knob on
the small screen to enable or disable the fine adjustment.
•Fine adjustment: Click or tap the icon at the right section of the Scale menu to
further adjust the vertical scale within a relatively smaller range to improve
vertical resolution. If the amplitude 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.
•Coarse adjustment: Click or tap the icon at the right section of the Scale menu
to adjust the vertical scale at 1-2-5 step, i.e. 1 mV/div, 2 mV/div, 5 mV/div, 10
mV/div…10 V/div.

•When the coupling mode is "GND": the DC and AC components of the signal
under test are blocked.
After selecting the coupling mode, the currently selected coupling mode is displayed
in the channel status label at the bottom of the screen, as shown in the figure below.
Tip
When the input impedance is set to "50 Ω", the channel coupling is set to DC coupling by
force, and the Coupling menu is grayed out and cannot be modified.
5.5BW Limit
This oscilloscope supports the bandwidth limit function. Setting the bandwidth limit
can reduce the noises in the displayed waveforms. For example, the signal under test
is a pulse with high frequency oscillation.
•When the bandwidth limit is disabled, the high frequency components of the
signal under test can pass the channel.
•If you enable the bandwidth limit and limit it to 20 MHz or 250 MHz, the high
frequency components found in the signal under test that are greater than 20
MHz or 250 MHz are attenuated.

•Waveform before enlargement:
The waveform in the area that is not covered by subtransparent blue in the
upper part of the screen is the waveform before enlargement. Its horizontal time
base (also called main time base) is displayed at the upper-left corner of the
screen. You can move the area left and right by adjusting the horizontal position;
increase or decrease the size of the area by adjusting the horizontal scale.
•Waveform after enlargement:
The waveform in the lower part of the screen is the horizontally expanded
delayed sweep waveform. Its horizontal time base (also called the time base of
the delayed sweep) is displayed on the screen. Compared with the main time
base, the time base of the delayed sweep has increased the waveform resolution.
Tip
The time base of the delayed sweep should be smaller than or equal to the main time base.
The acquisition mode is used to control how to generate waveform points from the
sample points. In the Horizontal system menu, click or tap the desired acquisition
mode for the Acquisition menu. The available choices include Normal, Average, Peak,
High Res. By default, the acquisition mode is Normal. The acquisition mode will be
displayed in the acquisition label at the top of the screen.
Normal
In this mode, the oscilloscope samples the signal at a specified fixed time interval to
rebuild the waveform. For most of the waveforms, using this mode can produce the
optimal display effects.
In this mode, the oscilloscope averages the waveforms from multiple samples to
reduce the random noise of the input signal and improve the vertical resolution.
Greater number of averages can lower the noise and increase the vertical resolution;
while at the same time, it will slow the response of the displayed waveform to the
waveform changes.
When you select "Average" mode, click or tap the input field for the
Averages menu
item to set it by using the pop-up numeric keypad. Its range is from 2 to 65534. Its
default value is 8.
Tip
The number of averages must be the Nth power of 2. When it is not in N power-of-2
increments, a prompt message "Truncation average error" is displayed. At this time, a value
that is smaller than the one you input and the closest to N power-of-2 increments will be input
automatically. For example, if you input 9 with the numeric keypad, the average count will be
input 8 automatically.
Peak
In this mode, the oscilloscope acquires the maximum and minimum values of the
signal within the sample interval to get the envelope of the signal or the narrow pulse
that might be lost. In this mode, signal aliasing can be prevented, but the noise
displayed would be larger.
In this mode, the oscilloscope can display all the pulses whose pulse widths are at
least the same as the sample period.
High Resolution
This mode uses a kind of ultra-sample technique to average the neighboring points
of the sample waveform to reduce the random noise on the input signal and generate
much smoother waveforms on the screen. This is generally used when the sample
rate of the digital converter is higher than the storage rate of the acquisition memory.
When you select "High Res" mode, click or tap the drop-down button of
bits to select
9, 10, 12, 14, or 16. Its default value is 9.
Tip
•The averaging modes of the "Average" and "High Res" are different. The former uses
"Multi-sample Average" and the latter uses "Single Sample Average".
•In "High Res" mode, the oscilloscope improves the measurement accuracy at the cost of
bandwidth. Each time the sampling rate changes, a window displaying the current
This oscilloscope only supports the real-time sampling mode. In this mode, the
oscilloscope produces the waveform display from samples collected during one
trigger event. The max. real-time sample rate of this series is 20 GSa/s. The current
sample rate is displayed in the acquisition label at the top of the screen.
By default, the operating status label at the left top of the screen is in green,
indicating that the instrument is undergoing real-time sampling. Then the
icon at the top of the screen is in green. Click or tap the STOP/RUN icon to stop
sampling, then the
top of the screen shows STOP in red. At this time, the oscilloscope will maintain its
last captured graph. You can still expand or zoom the waveforms by using the
horizontal and vertical control menu.

7.3Sample Rate
Sampling is the process of converting the analog signal into the digital signal at a
specified time interval and then restoring them in sequence. The sample rate is the
reciprocal of the time interval.
STOP/RUN
In the Horizontal system menu, "SampleRate" shows the current sample rate. The
current sample rate is displayed in the acquisition label at the top of the screen, as
shown in the figure below.
The sample rate of the analog channel is related to the current channel mode. The
maximum real-time sample rate in the single-channel mode is 20 GSa/s, and the
maximum real-time sample rate in the half-channel mode and full-channel mode is
10 GSa/s.
•Single-channel mode: CH1 and CH2 are considered as a group; CH3 and CH4
are considered as another group. If one of the two channels in each group is
enabled, it is called single-channel mode.
•Half-channel mode: CH1 and CH2 are considered as a group; CH3 and CH4 are
considered as another group. If two channels in either one of the groups are
enabled, it is called half-channel mode.
•Full-channel mode: CH1, CH2, CH3, and CH4 are all enabled.
The impact of low sample rate on the waveform:
•Waveform Distortion: when the sample rate is too low, some waveform details
are lost, and the sample waveform displayed is rather different from the actual
waveform of the signal.
•Waveform Aliasing: when the sample rate is twice lower than the actual signal
frequency (Nyquist Frequency), the frequency of the waveform rebuilt from the
sample data is smaller than the actual signal frequency.
•Waveform Leakage: when the sample rate is too low, the waveform rebuilt from
the sample data does not reflect all the actual signal information.
7.4Memory Depth
Memory depth refers to the number of points of the oscilloscope that can store in
one trigger acquisition. It reflects the storage capability of the acquisition storage.
This oscilloscope is equipped with a standard memory depth of up to 1 Gpts (2 Gpts
for option).
The following equation shows the relations among memory depth, sample rate, and
horizontal time base scale:
MDepth = SRate x TSCale x HDivs

indicates the horizontal time base scale. The unit is s/div.
indicates the number of grids in the horizontal direction. The unit is div.
Therefore, under the same horizontal time base scale, a higher memory depth can
ensure a higher sample rate.
In the
Horizontal system menu, click or tap the drop-down button of Mem Depth to
select the memory depth. By default, the memory depth is 10 Kpts. The memory
depth value will be displayed in the sample rate label at the top of the screen.
•When only one of the following channels is enabled, the memory depths
available include Auto, 1 Kpts, 10 Kpts, 100 Kpts, 1 Mpts, 10 Mpts, 100 Mpts, 200
Mpts, 500 Mpts, 1 Gpts, and 2 Gpts (option).
•When any two or multiple channels are enabled, the memory depths available
In "Auto" mode, the oscilloscope selects the memory depth automatically according to the
current sample rate.
7.5Anti-Aliasing
At a slower sweep speed, the sample rate is reduced, and a dedicated display
algorithm can be used to minimize the possibility of aliasing.
In the Horizontal system menu, the user can select the on or off tab for the Anti-aliasing menu to enable or disable the anti-aliasing function.
This function should be enabled when the horizontal time base has a large deviation
from the period of the signal under test (e.g. when the horizontal time base is greater
than five-fold the period of the signal under test).
7.6Horizontal Expansion
Horizontal expansion indicates the reference position that the screen waveform is
referenced to when it is horizontally expanded or compressed in adjusting the
horizontal time base. In the Horizontal system menu, click or tap the drop-down
button of Expand to select the horizontal reference baseline. The available choices
include Center, Left, Right, Trigger, and User. The default is "Center".
•Center: when the horizontal time base is modified, the waveform will be
expanded or compressed horizontally relative to the screen center.
•Left: when the horizontal time base is modified, the waveform will be expanded
or compressed horizontally relative to the leftmost position of the screen.
•Right: when the horizontal time base is modified, the waveform will be
expanded or compressed horizontally relative to the rightmost position of the
screen.
•Trigger: when the horizontal time base is modified, the waveform will be
expanded or compressed horizontally relative to the trigger point.
•User: when the horizontal time base is modified, the waveform displayed will be
expanded or compressed horizontally relative to the user-defined reference
position.
When you select "User", click or tap the input field of
horizontal expansion reference value with the displayed numeric keypad. Its

waveforms in the XY display mode. This function is called "blanking".
-When "None" is selected for "Source Z", the blanking function is disabled,
and you can only see the X-Y waveforms.
-When you select "CH1-CH4" for "Source Z", the blanking function is
enabled. The Z-axis input from the external connector determines whether
to display the X-Y waveforms. When Z is high (the input level is greater than
0 V), the X-Y waveforms are displayed; when Z is low (the input level is
smaller than 0 V), the waveforms are hidden.

Measurement Schematic Diagram of Phase Deviation
In this mode, you can use the Lissajous method to measure the phase deviation of the
two input signals whose frequencies are the same. The following figure shows the
measurement schematic diagram of phase deviation.
Figure 7.4 Measurement Schematic Diagram of Phase Deviation
According to sinƟ = A/B or C/D, Ɵ is the phase deviation angle between the two
channels. The definitions of A, B, C, and D are shown in the above figure. The phase
deviation angle is obtained, that is:
If the principal axis of the ellipse is within Quadrant I and III, the phase deviation
angle obtained should be within Quadrant I and IV, namely within (0 to π/2) or (3π/2
to 2π). If the principal axis of the ellipse is within Quadrant II and IV, the phase
deviation angle obtained should be within Quadrant II and III, namely within (π/2 to
π) or (π to 3π/2).
The XY mode can be used to measure the phase deviation occurred when the signal
under test passes through a circuit network. Connect the oscilloscope to the circuit to
monitor the input and output signals of the circuit.
As 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 neighboring part, and displays them on the
screen. For the digital oscilloscope, it samples waveform continuously no matter
whether it is stably triggered, but only stable trigger can be stably displayed. The
trigger module ensures that every time base sweep or acquisition starts from the
user-defined trigger condition, namely every sweep is synchronous with the
acquisition and the waveforms acquired is overlapped so as to display the stable
waveforms.
Trigger settings should be based on the features of the input signal. To quickly
capture the desired waveform, you need to understand the signal under test. This
oscilloscope provides abundant trigger types that help you focus on the desired
waveform details.

8.1Trigger Source
In the "Trigger" menu, click or tap the drop-down button of Source to select the
desired source from the drop-down list. Analog channels (CH1-CH4), AC Line, or EXT
(external trigger) can all be selected as the trigger source.
Analog channel input
menu, click or tap the Trigger button to enter the
Signals input from analog channels CH1-CH4 can all be used as trigger sources. No
matter whether the channel selected is enabled, the channel can work normally.
AC line input
The trigger signal is obtained from the AC power input of the oscilloscope. AC trigger
is usually used to measure signals relevant to the AC power frequency. For example,
stably triggering the waveform output from the transformer of a transformer
substation. It is mainly used in related measurements of the power industry.
The external trigger source can be used to trigger on the fifth channel while all the
other four channels are acquiring data. The trigger signal (e.g. external clock or signal
of the circuit under test) will be connected to EXT trigger source via the external
trigger input terminal [EXT] connector. You can set the trigger conditions within the
range of the trigger level (from -8 V to +8 V).
8.2Trigger Level
The adjustment of the trigger level is related to the type of the trigger source.
•When the trigger source is CH1-CH4, and when the multifunction knob selects
the trigger function, rotate the knob at the upper-right part of the small
screen or drag the adjustment icon (as shown in the figure below) under the
Level menu to adjust the trigger level. During the adjustment, a trigger level line
(the color of the trigger level line is the same as that of the channel) and a
trigger label "
with the variation of the trigger level. When you stopping modifying the trigger
level, the trigger level line disappears in about 2 s. The current trigger level is
displayed in the the trigger information label at the top of the screen.
In Runt Trigger, Slope Trigger, and Window trigger, you need to set the upper
and lower limits of the trigger level. Rotate the knob at the upper-right part
of the small screen or drag the adjustment icon under the
" are displayed on the screen, and they move up and down
Level menu to adjust
the trigger level. Two trigger level labels and are displayed at the
right section of the screen.
•When the trigger source is AC Line, there is no trigger level.
•When the trigger source is EXT, rotate the knob at the upper-right part of
the small screen or drag the adjustment icon under the
trigger level. The current trigger level is displayed in the the trigger information
label at the top of the screen.
For this trigger source, only the variation of the trigger level value is displayed
on the screen during the adjustment of the trigger level, without displaying the
trigger level lines on the screen.
To ensure the waveforms to be better triggered, for a trigger with a single level, you
can directly click or tap "50%" in the level menu or press down the trigger level knob
to make the level move to the middle of the waveform. However, for a trigger (e.g.
Slope trigger, Runt trigger, Window trigger, and MIL-STD-1553) with two levels, you
need to click or tap "90%" and "10%" in the level menu or press down the trigger
level knob to make the level move to within the range of the waveform amplitude.
8.3Trigger Mode
The following is the schematic diagram of the acquisition memory. To easily
understand the trigger event, we classify the acquisition memory into the pre-trigger
buffer and post-trigger buffer.
Figure 8.1 Schematic Diagram of the Acquisition Memory
After the system runs, the oscilloscope operates by first filling the pre-trigger buffer.
It starts searching for a trigger after the pre-trigger buffer is filled. While searching for
the trigger, the data sampled will still be transmitted to the pre-trigger buffer (the
new data will continuously overwrite the previous data). When a trigger is found, the
pre-trigger buffer contains the data acquired just before the trigger. Then, the
oscilloscope will fill the post-trigger buffer and display the data in the acquisition
memory. If the acquisition is activated via
repeat this process; if the acquisition is activated via tapping the "Single" icon on the
small screen, the oscilloscope will stop after finishing a single acquisition (you can
pan and zoom the currently displayed waveform).
DS70000 provides Auto, Normal, and Single trigger modes, and the default is Auto.
Click or tap the trigger information label at the top of the screen or the "Trigger" icon
on the small screen to open the "Trigger" menu. Click or tap the sub-items for the
Sweep menu to quickly switch the current trigger mode. The trigger mode is
displayed in the trigger information label at the top of the screen: A (Auto), N
(Normal), and S (Single).
•Auto: In this trigger mode, if the specified trigger conditions are not found,
triggers are forced and acquisitions are made so as to display the waveforms.
This trigger mode should be used when the signal level is unknown or the DC
should be displayed as well as when forcible trigger is not necessary as the
trigger condition always occurs.
•Normal: In this trigger mode, triggers and acquisitions only occur when the
specified trigger conditions are found. This trigger mode should be used when
the signal is with low repetition rate or only the event specified by the trigger
setting needs to be sampled as well as when auto trigger should be prevented to
acquire stable display.
•Single: In this trigger mode, the oscilloscope performs a single trigger and
acquisition when the specified trigger conditions are found, and then stops. This
trigger mode should be used when you need to perform a single acquisition of
the specified event and analyze the acquisition result (you can pan and zoom the
currently displayed waveform, and the subsequent waveform data will not
overwrite the current waveform). After a single trigger mode is initiated, the
operating status of the oscilloscope is in "STOP" state.
Normal and Single trigger modes, pressing Force in the trigger menu or the
In
"Force" icon on the small screen can generate a trigger signal forcibly.
8.4Trigger Coupling
Trigger coupling decides which kind of components will be transmitted to the trigger
module. Please distinguish it from "
when the trigger type is Edge and the trigger source is an analog channel.
Click/tap the trigger information label at the top of the screen (as shown in the figure
below) or tap the "Trigger" icon on the small screen to open the "Trigger" menu. Click

default, it is DC.) from the drop-down list.
•DC: allows DC and AC components to pass the trigger path.
•AC: blocks the DC components and attenuates the signals.
•LFR: blocks the DC components and rejects the low-frequency components.
•HFR: rejects the high frequency components.
Tip
When "AC" or "LFR" is selected for the coupling mode, no trigger level lines and trigger icons
are displayed. When you adjust the trigger level, you can only see the changes of the trigger
level values in the trigger information label at the top of the screen.
8.5Trigger Holdoff
Trigger holdoff can be used to stably trigger on complex repetitive waveforms that
have multiple edges (or other events) between waveform repetitions (such as pulse
series). Holdoff time indicates the time that the oscilloscope waits for re-arming the
trigger module after generating a correct trigger. The oscilloscope will not trigger
even if the trigger condition is met during the holdoff time and will only re-arm the
trigger module after the holdoff time expires.
For example, to stably trigger the repetitive pulse series as shown in the figure below,
the holdoff time should be set to a value that is greater than t1 and smaller than t2.
Figure 8.2 Trigger Holdoff
Click or tap the trigger setting label (as shown in the figure below) on the top of the
screen to open the "Trigger" menu. You can also tap the "Trigger" icon on the small
screen to open the trigger menu. Click or tap the input field of
Holdoff to input the
holdoff time (the holdoff to this time when the waveforms are stably triggered; by
default, the holdoff time is 8 ns) with the pop-up numeric keypad. The adjustable
range of the holdoff time is from 8 ns to 10 s.
8.6Noise Rejection
Noise rejection can reject the high frequency noise in the signal and reduce the
possibility of miss-trigger of the oscilloscope.
Click or tap the trigger information label at the top of the screen or the "Trigger" icon
on the small screen to open the "Trigger" menu. Click or tap the ON/OFF tab for the
Noise Reject menu to enable or disable the noise rejection function.
