Acquiring and Displaying Waveforms
TDS 500D, TDS 600B, & TDS 700D User Manual
3–21
The TDS Oscilloscope provides control of horizontal position and scale using
the horizontal front panel knobs.
By changing the horizontal position, you can move the waveform right or left to
see different portions of the waveform. That is particularly useful when you are
using larger record sizes and cannot view the entire waveform on one screen.
To change the horizontal scale and position:
1. Turn the horizontal POSITION and horizontal SCALE knobs. (See
Figure 3–8.)
2. If you want the POSITION knob to move faster, press the SHIFT button.
When the light above the shift button is on and the display says Coarse Knobs
in the upper right corner, the POSITION knob positions waveforms more
quickly.
Figure 3–8: Horizontal Controls
When you select a channel, the horizontal SCALE knob scales all channel
waveforms displayed at the same time. If you select a math or reference
waveform, the knob scales only the selected waveform.
