Vertical Setups Vertical Offset Control Window
Overview
Use the Position/Offset control window to set the offset value of the selected waveform to shift the vertical
acquisition window
(see page 60) to match the waveform data you want to acquire.
To use
1. Use the Channels Selector (see page 258) to select a valid channel, math, or reference waveform.
2. Click a Channel button to select the vertical input channel.
3. Click in the Offset entry box, and use a multipurpose knob to set the offset value.
Behavior
The main purpose of the Offset control is to avoid clipping the waveform (see page 489).TheOffset
control adjusts the DC bias level that is subtracted from the input signal of a channel and establishes the
level at the vertical center of the acquisition window for that channel. Channel reference indicators always
point
to the offset level of the channels. Offset affects only channel waveforms, whereas the Position
control affects all waveforms, including math and reference waveforms.
NOTE. The range of vertical offset available depends on the type of probe used.
