Display Features
Color LCD Display. Identify and differentiate waveforms easily with
color coding. Waveforms, readouts, and buttons are color matched to
increase productivity and reduce operating errors. See page 3–19.
Digital Phosphor. A Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope can clearly display
intensity modulation in your signals. The oscilloscope automatically
overlays subsequent acquisitions and then decays them to simulate
the writing and decay of the phosphor in an analog oscilloscope
CRT. This feature results in an intensity-graded waveform display
that shows the information contained in the intensity modulation.
See page 3–5.
Signal Preview. Use the preview feature to optimize the control
settings when setting up a single-shot acquisition. As you adjust the
controls, the adjustments modify the current acquisition to show a
preview of how the next acquisition should appear. See page 3–7.
Measurement Features
Cursors. Use cursors to take simple voltage, time, and frequency
measurements. See page 3–12.
Automatic Measurements. Choose from a list of 21 automatic
waveform measurements. You can customize the measurements by
changing reference levels or by adding measurement gating. See
page 3–33.
Trigger Features
Dual Triggers. Use the main (A) trigger system alone or add the B
trigger to capture more complex events. You can use the A and B
triggers together to set up a wait-for-time or wait-for-events trigger.
See page 3–50.
Video Trigger. Trigger on video fields or lines to see a stable display of
standard video signals. See page 3–59.
