2 Front-Panel Controls
6000A Series Front-Panel Operation
This section provides a brief overview of operating the
front-panel controls. Detailed oscilloscope operating
instructions are provided in later chapters.
To adjust the waveform intensity
The Intensity control is at the lower left corner of the front
panel near the power switch.
• To decrease waveform intensity, rotate the Intensity control
counter-clockwise.
• To increase waveform intensity, rotate the Intensity control
clockwise.
The intensity control does not affect digital channel intensity.
Digital channel intensity is fixed.
To adjust the display grid (graticule) intensity
1 Press the Display key.
2 Turn the Entry knob to change the intensity of the
displayed grid. The intensity level is shown in the Grid softkey
and is adjustable from 0 to 100%.
Each major vertical division in the grid corresponds to the
vertical sensitivity shown in the status line at the top of the
display.
Each major horizontal division in the grid corresponds to the
sweep speed time shown in the status line at the top of the
display.
Digital Channels
Because all of the oscilloscopes in the 6000 Series have analog channels, the
analog channel topics in this book apply to all instruments. Whenever a topic
discusses the digital channels, that information applies only to Mixed-Signal
Oscilloscope (MSO) models or DSO models that have been upgraded to an MSO.
