Run/Stop starts and stops waveform acquisition. The button color indicates the acquisition status (green = running and acquiring; red = stopped). When stopped, the oscilloscope shows waveforms from the last completed acquisition. The Run/Stop button on the screen also shows the acquisition status.

■

Cursors button turns screen cursors on or off. Use the Multipurpose knobs to move the cursors. Double-tap the cursor readouts, or on a cursor bar (line), to open the configuration menu to set cursor types and functionality. See Display

and configure cursors on page 53.

■

Fast Acq™ enables or disables the fast acquisition mode. FastAcq provides high-speed waveform capture that

reduces the dead time between waveform acquisitions, enabling the capture and display of transient events such as glitches and runt pulses. It is helpful in finding elusive signal anomalies. Fast acquisition mode can also display waveform phenomena at an intensity that reflects their rate of occurrence.

■

Single/Seq enables making a single waveform acquisition, or a specified number of acquisitions (as set in the Acquisition configuration menu). Pushing Single/Seq turns off Run/Stop mode and takes a single acquisition. The

button color indicates the acquisition status (quick green flash = single acquisition acquired; solid green = waiting for trigger event). Pushing Single/Seq again takes another single acquisition.

■

High Res applies unique finite impulse response (FIR) filters based on the current sample rate. This FIR filter maintains the maximum bandwidth possible for that sample rate while rejecting aliasing. The filter removes noise from the oscilloscope amplifiers and ADC above the usable bandwidth for the selected sample rate. Implementation of the filter in hardware, ahead of the trigger and storage, reduces trigger jitter and enables using Fast Acq mode while in

High Res mode.

High Res mode also guarantees at least 12 bits of vertical resolution. The number of bits of resolution is displayed in

the Acquisition badge at the bottom of the screen. The Horizontal badge also updates to show the sample rate and record length settings while in High Res mode.

■

Clear deletes the current acquisitions and measurement values from memory.

2. Multipurpose knobs:

■

Multipurpose knobs (A, B) The Multipurpose knobs A and B move cursors and set parameter values in configuration menu input fields. Selecting an menu field that can use a Multipurpose knob assigns the indicated knob to change the value in that input field. The ring around each knob lights when you can use that knob to do an action.

Push a Multipurpose knob to enable the Fine mode for making smaller increment changes. Push the knob again to exit

Fine mode.

3. Trigger controls:

■

Force forces a trigger event at a random point in the waveform and captures the acquisition.

■

Level sets the amplitude level that the signal must pass through to be considered a valid transition. The color of the Level knob LED indicates the trigger source except for dual-level triggers.

The Level knob is disabled when the trigger type requires two level settings or other trigger qualifiers (set from the Trigger configuration menu). Push the knob to set the threshold level to 50% of the peak-to-peak amplitude range of

the signal.

■

Slope sets the signal transition direction to detect for a trigger (low to high, high to low, or either direction). Push the button to cycle through the selections. The Slope button is disabled when the trigger type requires other slope qualifiers (set from the Trigger configuration menu).

■

Mode sets how the instrument behaves in the absence or presence of a trigger event:

■

Auto trigger mode enables the instrument to acquire and display a waveform whether or not a trigger event occurs. If a trigger event occurs, the instrument displays a stable waveform. If a trigger event does not occur, the instrument forces a trigger event and acquisition and displays an unstable waveform.

■

Normal trigger mode sets the instrument to acquire and display a waveform only when there is a valid trigger event. If no trigger occurs, the last waveform record acquired remains on the display. If no last waveform exists, no waveform is displayed.

4. Vertical controls:

■

Position moves the selected waveform (Channel, Math, Reference, Bus) and its graticule up or down on the screen. The color of the Position knob indicates which waveform the knob is controlling. Push the knob to set the threshold level to 50% of the peak-to-peak amplitude range of the signal.

■

Scale sets the amplitude units per vertical graticule division of the selected waveform. The scale values are shown on the right edge of the horizontal graticule lines, and are specific to the selected waveform in both Stacked or Overlay modes (in other words, each waveform has its own unique vertical graticule settings regardless of display mode). The color of the Scale knob indicates which waveform the knob is controlling.

■

Channel buttons turn on (display), select, or turn off Channel, Math, Reference, or Bus waveforms. The number of channel buttons depends on the instrument model. The buttons operate as follows:

■

If the channel is not displayed, pushing a Channel button turns on that channel to the Waveform view.

■

If the channel is on the screen and is not selected, pushing that channel's button selects that channel.

■

If the channel is on the screen and is also selected, pushing that channel's button turns that channel off (removes it from Waveform view).

■

The Math button adds or selects a Math waveform on the Waveform view, as follows:

■

If no Math waveform exists, pushing the Math button adds a Math waveform to the Waveform view and opens the Math configuration menu.

■

If only one Math waveform is displayed, pushing the button turns off the Math waveform (removes it from Waveform view). Push the button again to display the waveform.

■

If two or more Math waveforms are displayed, pushing the button cycles through selecting each math waveform.

■

The Ref button adds or selects a Reference (saved) waveform on the Waveform view, as follows:

■

If no Reference waveform exists, pushing the Ref button opens the Browse Waveform Files configuration menu. Navigate to and select a waveform file (*.wfm) and tap Recall to load and display the reference waveform.

■

If only one Reference waveform is displayed, pushing the button turns off the Reference waveform (removes it from the Waveform View). Push the button again to display the waveform.

■

If two or more Reference waveforms are displayed, pushing the button cycles through selecting each Reference waveform.

■

The Bus button adds or selects a bus waveform on the Waveform view, as follows:

■

If no Bus waveform exists, pushing the Bus button adds a Bus waveform to the Waveform view and opens the Bus configuration menu.

5. Horizontal controls:

■

Position moves the waveform and graticule side to side on the screen (changing the trigger point position in the waveform record). Push the knob to center the trigger event to the center graticule on the Waveform view.

■

Scale sets the time per major horizontal graticule division and samples/second parameters for the oscilloscope. Scale applies to all waveforms. Push the knob to enable the Fine mode for making smaller increment changes. Push the knob again to exit Fine mode.

■

Zoom opens the Zoom mode. Push Zoom again to exit zoom mode. See The Zoom user interface elements on page 30.

■

Zoom knob (center knob) increases or decreases the area of the zoom box in the Zoom Waveform Overview, which in turn controls the zoom amount of the waveforms shown in the main Zoom view.

■

Pan knob (outer knob) moves the Zoom box left or right in the Zoom Waveform Overview, which in turn controls the part of the waveform shown in the main Zoom view.

■

Navigate (left and right arrow) buttons puts the oscilloscope in Zoom mode and positions the previous or next search point in the waveform record to the center graticule of the Waveform view. There must be a Search badge present in the Results bar before the Navigate function will operate. Press and hold a front panel navigate button to continue moving to the next search point in that direction. See Badges on page 20.
