Using Quick Help

The oscilloscope has a Quick Help system that provides user help for each front-panel key and softkey on the oscilloscope. To view Quick Help information:

1 Press and hold down the key for which you would like to view help.

2Release the key after reading the message. Releasing the key returns the oscilloscope to the previous state.

Selecting a language for Quick Help when the oscilloscope starts up

When the oscilloscope first powers up, you can press the Language softkey to select a language for viewing Quick Help. Successive press the Language softkey until the desired language in the list selected.

You can also select and load a language later from the Utility Language menu.
