DIGITAL MODE

Description:

The yellow ANALOG key is used 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. However, the nature of the signal used or the choice of the measurement may determine when it is best to use the digital mode.

Digital storage is used for the following:

•recording of single events, or very low frequencies

•pretrigger and posttrigger view

•glitch triggering

•saving, recalling and comparing multiple traces

•automatic measurements

•signal mathematics

•signal analysis

•making hard copies (plot/print)

•digital mode offers the convenience of the auto range function for the vertical channels and the main time base.

The same waveform is usually displayed in the same manner, regardless of the operating mode selected. However, some functions are not implemented in both modes. In the analog mode, for instance, no ‘pretrigger’ information can be made visible.

If switching from one mode to another results in an unsatisfactory display, press the yellow key once more to return to the previous situation.

Key sequence:
