To change the sweep speed for the Zoom sweep window, turn the sweep speed knob. As you turn the knob, the sweep speed is highlighted in the status line above the waveform display area.

The time reference position sets the initial position of the trigger event within acquisition memory and on the display, with delay (horizontal position) set to 0. The delay setting sets the specific location of the trigger event with respect to the time reference position. The time reference setting affects the Zoom sweep in the following ways.

When the horizontal mode is set to Main, the horizontal position knob positions the main sweep relative to the trigger. This delay is a fixed number. Changing this delay value does not affect the sweep speed. When the horizontal mode is set to Zoom, the delay controls the position of the Zoom sweep window inside the main sweep display. This delay value is independent of sampling interval and sweep speed.

To change the sweep speed for the main sweep window, press the Main softkey, then turn the sweep speed knob.

For information about using Zoom mode for measurements, refer to Chapter 5, “Making Measurements,” starting on page 207.

Roll mode

•Press the Menu/Zoom key, then press the Roll softkey.

•Roll mode causes the waveform to move slowly across the screen from right to left. It only operates on time base settings of 500 ms/div and slower. If the current time base setting is faster than the 500 ms/div limit, it will be set to 500 ms/div when Roll mode is entered.

•In Normal horizontal mode, signal events occurring before the trigger are plotted to the left of the trigger point (t) and

signal events after the trigger plotted to the right of the trigger point.
