Vertical Settings and Channel Controls

When you turn a channel trace ON, the Channel menu opens. The

Channel menu page shown (1/3, 2/3, or 3/3) is always based on the most

recent trace activated.

Choosing Coupling

You can choose one of these input coupling modes:

 DC - Passes both AC and DC components of the input signal.

 AC - Blocks the DC component of the input signal and attenuates

signals below 10 Hz.

 GND - Disconnects the input signal. Use GND coupling to display a

zero-volt waveform. Internally, the channel input is connected to a

zero-volt reference level.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

 If the channel is set to DC coupling, you can quickly measure the

DC component of the signal by simply noting its distance from the

ground symbol.

 If the channel is set to AC coupling, the DC component of the

signal is blocked allowing you to use greater sensitivity to display

the AC component of the symbol.
