3 Viewing and Measuring Digital Signals

To display digital channels as a bus

Digital channels may be grouped and displayed as a bus, with each bus value displayed at the bottom of the display in hex or binary. You can create up to two busses. To configure and display each bus, press the D15 Thru D0 key on the front panel (just to the right of the display). Then press the Bus softkey.

Next, select a bus by rotating the Entry knob, then press the

Bus1/Bus2 softkey to switch it on.

Use the softkey to the right and the Entry knob to select individual channels to be included in the bus. You can also press the Select/Deselect D15-D8and Select/Deselect D7-D0softkeys to include or exclude groups of eight channels in each bus.

If the bus display is blank, completely white, or if the display includes “...”, you need to expand the horizontal scale to allow space for the data to be shown, or use the cursors to display the values (see page 123).

The Base softkey lets you choose to display the bus values in hex or binary.
