HDO6000 High Definition Oscilloscope

Front Panel Vertical Controls

Channel buttons- Turn on a channel that is off, or activate a channel that is

already on. When the channel is active, pushing its channel button turns it off. A

lit button shows the active channel (here, C2 is lit).

Offset knob - Adjusts the zero level of the trace (this makes it appear to move up

or down relative to the center axis of the grid). The value appears on the trace

descriptor box. Push it to reset Offset to zero.

Gain knob- Sets Vertical Gain (V/div). The value appears on the trace descriptor

box. Push it once to adjust V/div in fine increments; push it again to adjust in 1, 2,

5, 10-step increments.

Dig button - Enables digital input on -MS models.

Front Panel Math, Zoom, and Mem(ory) Buttons

The Zoom button creates a quick zoom for each open channel trace. The resulting zoom trace

(s) will be 1/10 of the channel timebase and centered on the display. Touch the zoom trace

descriptor box to display the zoom controls.

The Math and Mem(ory) buttons open the corresponding setup dialogs.

If a Zoom, Math or Memory trace is active, the button illuminates to indicate that the Vertical

and Horizontal knobs will now control that trace.

Front Panel Cursor Controls

Cursors identify specific voltage and time values on the waveform. The white

cursor lines help make these points more visible, as well as provide a simple way

to reposition them. A readout of the values appears on the trace descriptor box.

There are five preset cursor types, each with a unique appearance on the display:

Horizontal (Time), Horizontal + Vertical, Vertical (Amplitude), Horizontal

(Frequency), and Horizontal (Event). These are described in more detail in the Cursors section.

Type - Press to apply or remove cursors. Continue pressing to cycle through all cursor types until the

desired type is found ("no cursors" will appear in the cycle).

Cursor knob - Turn to reposition the selected cursor line. Push to select a different cursor line to adjust.

Front Panel Adjust and Intensity Controls

The Adjust knob changes the value in any highlighted data entry field when

turned. Pushing the Adjust knob toggles between coarse (large increment) or fine

(small increment) adjustments when the knob is turned.

The Intensity button sets the Adjust knob to control the trace intensity. When

more data is available than can actually be displayed, the Intensity button helps

to visualize significant events by applying an algorithm that dims less frequently occurring samples. This

feature can also be accessed from the Display > Display Setup dialog.
