To display the Setup Channel menu, press the Channel key.
Display
The
Display
softkey turns the channel display off and on. When the channel
display is on, a waveform is displayed for that channel, unless the offset is
adjusted so the waveform is clipped off of the display or the instrument is not
triggering.
The channel number, vertical scaling, and offset are displayed at the bottom left
of the waveform area. They remain on the display until the channel is turned
off, or an automatic measurement is performed. The automatic measurement
results share the same area of the display as the channel setups.
When the channel display is off, the waveform display for that channel is turned
off, pulse parameter measurements are stopped and acquisition on that channel
is stopped, unless it is needed as an operand for waveform math functions or
TDR/TDT responses.
Even though the channel display is off, you can still use the plug-in as a function
source in the Math menu or as a source for four normalize, differential, or
common mode responses. However, the instrument will not trigger unless one
or more of the other channel displays are turned on, or unless a math function
or TDR/TDT response is using one of the channels.

Scale
The
Scale
softkey controls the vertical scaling of the waveform. If the fine mode
is off, then the knob and arrow keys change the vertical scaling in a 1-2-5
sequence. When fine mode is on, the knob and arrow keys change the vertical
scaling in 1 mV increments. You can also use the keypad to enter values in
1 mV increments, independent of the fine mode selection.
The units the scale is displayed in depend on the unit of measure selected with
the
Units
softkey. The choices for units are volts, watts, amperes, ohms, %
reflect, gain, or unknown.
