ANALOG MODE

Description:

You can use the yellow ANALOG key to switch from the analog mode to the digital mode and back at any time. The signal acquisition and display functions of both operating modes are very similar. Depending on the nature of the signal used or the choice of the measurement, you may prefer the analog mode.

This is especially true for the following types of signals:

amplitude modulated signals

frequency modulated signals

fast sweeps

long serial data streams

most video signals

observing signal changes (e.g., adjustments)

The same waveform is usually displayed in the same manner, whether you select the analog or the digital mode. However, some functions are not implemented in both modes. For instance, the digital mode permits the viewing of pre-trigger information. The digital mode also offers auto-range for main time base and vertical channels. These functions are not available in the analog mode.
