Second monitor use. To optimize your access to the PC that is built into the oscilloscope, connect a keyboard, mouse, and
monitor to the instrument, and then configure Windows for dual-display mode.
In this configuration, the oscilloscope retains full dynamic oscilloscope performance while Windows and other applications such
as publishing, analysis, or Web browsing tools reside on the external monitor. You can copy/paste bitmap and waveform data
from the oscilloscope to the locally running application or view Web-based reference information while using the oscilloscope for
design work.
Dockable windows. You can drag up to five dockable half-screen control windows from the TekScope application onto the
display of a second monitor. For example, this feature allows you to have the Horizontal/Acquisition, the Horizontal Zoom, and
the Display Setup Control Windows (half screen) open on the second monitor at the same time.
In addition to the five dockable windows on the second monitor, you can have one dockable window open on the main display. If
you open a seventh dockable window, the window that has not been used for the longest amount of time will automatically close.
To drag a half-screen control window, click and drag on the left edge of the window.
Connect to other instruments.
â–
Use the rear-panel vertical signal output (Signal Out) to connect to a buffered version of the signal that is attached to the
Channel 3 input (DPO7000C models only).
â–
Use the rear-panel auxiliary output (Aux Out) to obtain a TTL-compatible, negative polarity pulse when the oscilloscope
triggers, or when certain other events occur, such as a mask test failure or completion.
â–
Use the rear-panel external reference input (Ext Ref) to synchronize the oscilloscope time base to an external 9.8 MHz to
10.2 MHz reference frequency source.
Oscilloscope interface
Instrument interface. On MSO and DPO instruments, you can use the familiar knobs and buttons on the oscilloscope front
panel to perform most vertical, horizontal, and triggering functions. It allows you to make quick adjustments to your displayed
signals with the dedicated vertical controls for each channel. On a DPO70000SX instrument, use the optional DPO7AFP to
access the knobs and buttons.
The screen interface gives you access to the complete functionality of the instrument. This user interface is built on the Windows
operating system and has a similar look and feel. It is also fully compatible with a wide range of PC hardware and software
accessories, such as networked instrumentation and printers. On a DPO70000SX instrument, use an external monitor to access
the screen interface.
The toolbar at the top of the screen is optimized for touch screen operation. Touching (or clicking) a button on the toolbar opens
a control window that you can use to select the instrument settings.
With a mouse, you may prefer to use the PC-style menu bar to open control windows or directly select many instrument settings.
Click the button, in the upper-right corner of the screen, to switch between Menu Bar Mode and Toolbar Mode.
