Acquisition Settings
The Preferences Acquisition settings determine how traces behave on screen as gain or timebase
changes. Make a selection in each area.
Offset Setting constant in:
l Volts moves the vertical offset level indicator with the actual voltage level.
l Div(isions) keeps the vertical offset level indicator stationary. The waveform remains on the grid
as you increase the gain; whereas, if Volts is selected, the waveform could move off the grid.
Delay Setting constant in:
l Time moves the horizontal offset level indicator with the trigger point.
l Div(isions) keeps the horizontal offset indicator stationary. The trigger point remains on the grid as
you increase the timebase; whereas, if Time is selected, the trigger point could move off the grid.
NOTE: The Offset is always in volts, and the Delay is always in time. However, whenever Div is selected,
these are scaled proportional to the change in gain or timebase, thereby keeping the division of the grid
constant.
Trigger Counter Setting:
Checking Reset trigger counter before starting a new acquisition clears the trigger counter each time the
oscilloscope issues an acquisition command. It is only available when you have a trigger Holdoff
condition set.
