DELAYED TIME BASE DELAY

DTB s TIME/DIV ns

The Delayed Timebase (DEL’DTB) has two basic functions:

ST6719

9303

•To magnify and display any detail of the signal displayed with the main timebase.

•To permit more accurate timing measurements.

STANDARD SETTING

To start from a predefined state, you must recall the standard front setting.

-Simultaneously press the STATUS and TEXT OFF keys.

-Connect the Probe Adjust signal to channel 1.

-Shift the trace to the upper half of the screen as indicated.

DELAYED TIMEBASE

MainTB and Del’dTB

-Press the Delayed Timebase DTB key to enter the DELAYED TIMEBASE menu.

-Press the ’DEL’D TB on off’ softkey to turn on the Delayed Timebase.

The main timebase trace and delayed timebase trace are displayed simultaneously.

The upper trace is the Main Timebase trace. The Main Timebase trace shows an intensified portion. It may be necessary to adjust the trace intensity with the TRACE INTENSITY control to the left of the screen.

The lower trace is the Delayed Timebase trace. This represents the intensified part of the upper trace.

Since all primary functions have dedicated keys and controls on the front panel, the menu can now be turned off.

-Press the TEXT OFF button to turn off the menu.
