Accessing shortcut menus by right-clicking. You can right-click to gain quick access to most common commands.
Right-click on a graticule, an object, or a readout to access their shortcut menus. The menus are dynamic; their contents will
vary, depending on the area or the object you right click.
You can right-click on any of the following to open a dynamic shortcut menu:
â–
Waveform handle
â–
Cursors
â–
Labels
â–
Histogram display
â–
Masks
â–
Templates
â–
Trigger level marker
â–
Visual trigger area
â–
Readouts (the menu varies with the type of readout)
â–
Graticule
â–
Control window
â–
Entry boxes
â–
Regions (Menu bar, Toolbar, Multipurpose Knobs)
Creating your own control windows. For quick access to the controls that you use most often, you can create your own
MyScope control window. Choose from a list of controls to include, and make each control window unique to your needs.
MyScope allows you to have up to eight tabs in a control window, increasing the flexibility and ease of use for your unique
MyScope control windows. You can create and save any number of control windows for future use.
Initialize the instrument. After you complete a task, you may want to initialize the instrument settings before using the
instrument with your next task. This may be especially important if you share the instrument with others; previous settings may
make it difficult for you to perform the required task.
To quickly restore the instrument to its default settings, push the front-panel Default Setup button.
Choosing and connecting probes.
To avoid damage to the instrument, observe ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions.
Choose from a wide variety of passive, active, and specialty probes to use with your instrument. The instrument automatically
configures the input impedance when you attach a probe that is compatible with the TekProbe or TekVPI interface.
Remember the following when connecting a probe:
â–
For most passive probes, adjust the low-frequency compensation after you connect them to a channel input.
â–
To compensate for gain (and offset) error in many probes, connect the probe tip to the probe compensation connectors;
then execute the built-in compensation procedure to optimize system accuracy.
â–
To compensate for propagation delay differences between voltage probes using the probe deskew feature, attach up to two
probe tips at a time to the probe compensation terminals; then execute the deskew procedure to time align the display for
each channel. The deskew adjustment range is ±75 ns.
