HYoucan view pro be characteristics in the system properties menu for the

measurement channel.

If you use thesampling oscilloscope Trigger Direct input, it is recommended that

you set the triggerlevel on the oscilloscope to 0 volts and control the trigger

level by directly assigning the verticaloffset for the probe at the probe tip.

Because the offset control in the probe affects th e signal level at its output, this

method of verticaloffset adjustment provides calibrated trigger level operation.

Tooperate the offset control as a trigger level adjustment, rotate the offset adjust

on CH B. This will control the offsetat the probe tip so you can read the trigger

level directlyfrom the offset indicator on the sampling oscilloscope. See

Figure 10.

NOTE. Rotation of the controlknob for this configuration is reversed. Clockwise

rotationintroduces a negative offset adjustment, which provides a negative

trigger level. Counterclockwise rotation introducesa positive offset and a

positive trigger level.
