Supplemental Operator’s Guide

Press the [CHANNEL 1 2 3 4] softkey (F1) until 1 is highlighted.

Press the [TIME CHANNEL 1] softkey (F5)

Press the [Scale] hardkey.

Toggle the [AUTOSCALE ON OFF] softkey (F1) until ON is highlighted..

Press the [Active Trace] hardkey.

Press the [B] softkey (F1)

Press the [Meas Data] hardkey.

Press the [CHANNEL 1 2 3 4] softkey (F1) until 2 is highlighted.

Press the [TIME CHANNEL 2] softkey (F5)

Press the [Scale] hardkey.

Toggle the [AUTOSCALE ON OFF] softkey (F1) until ON is highlighted.

Arming Dual Channel Time Measurements

To manually arm a dual channel time measurement, proceed the same as for the single channel case:

Press the [Trigger] hardkey.

Select the [ARM SETUP] softkey (F7)

Select the [MANUAL ARM] softkey (F2)

Press the yellow [Start] hardkey to begin the measurement.

Press the [Trigger] hardkey.

Then to arm a single time record,

Press the [ARM] softkey (F9)

One time record will be captured and displayed. To capture another time record,

Press the [ARM] softkey (F9) again.

Triggering a Dual-Channel Time Measurement

Either channel may be monitored to initiate a trigger for a measurement. Setting up the trigger event is the same as for single channel time waveforms, except that channel 1 or channel 2 must be selected as the trigger. To specify the trigger channel, proceed as follows:

Press the [Trigger] hardkey.

Press the [CHANNEL 1 2 3 4] softkey (F3) until 1 is highlighted.

This sets up the analyzer to trigger off an event on channel 1. To set up channel 2 as the trigger channel, do the following:

Press the [Trigger] hardkey.

Press the [CHANNEL 1 2 3 4] softkey (F3) until 2 is highlighted.
