On-screen readouts help you keep track of the settings for various functions,
such as vertical and horizontal scale and trigger level. Some readouts use the
cursors or the automatic parameter extraction feature (called measure) to display
the results of measurements made or the status of the instrument.
Assign the general purpose knob to adjust a selected parameter function. More
quickly change parameters by toggling the SHIFT button. Use the same method
as for selecting a function, except the final side-menu selection assigns the
general purpose knob to adjust some function, such as the position of measure-
ment cursors on screen, or the setting for a channel fine gain.
The user interface also makes use of a GUI, or Graphical User Interface, to make
setting functions and interpreting the display more intuitive. Some menus and
status are displayed using iconic representations of function settings, such as
those shown here for full, 250 MHz and 20 MHz bandwidth. Such icons allow
you to more readily determine status or the available settings.
Signal Acquisition System
The signal acquisition system provides up to four, full-featured vertical channels
with calibrated vertical scale factors from 1 mV to 10 V per division, depending
on TDS model. All channels can be acquired simultaneously.
Each of the full-featured channels can be displayed, vertically positioned, and
offset, and their vertical coupling specified. Some models can have their
bandwidth limited (250 MHz or 20 MHz). Fine gain can also be adjusted.
Besides these channels, up to three math waveforms and four reference wave-
forms are available for display. (A math waveform results when you specify dual
waveform operations, such as add, on any two channels. A reference waveform
results when you save a waveform in a reference memory).
Horizontal System
There are three horizontal display modes: main only, main intensified, and
delayed only. You can select among various horizontal record length settings.
A feature called “Fit to Screen” allows you to view entire waveform records
within the 10 division screen area. Waveforms are compressed to fit on the
screen. See Table 2–2.
