To use delayed sweep
Delayed sweep is an expanded version of main sweep. When Delayed mode is
selected, the display divides in half and the delayed sweep icon displays in
the middle of the line at the top of the display. The top half displays the main
sweep and the bottom half displays the delayed sweep.
The following steps show you how to use delayed sweep. Notice that the steps
are very similar to operating the delayed sweep in analog oscilloscopes.
1 Connect a signal to the oscilloscope and obtain a stable display.
2Press
Main/Delayed.
3Press the
Delayed softkey.
To change the sweep speed for the delayed sweep window, turn the sweep speed
knob. As you turn the knob, the sweep speed is highlighted in the status line
above the waveform display area.
The area of the main display that is expanded is intensified and marked on each
end with a vertical marker. These markers show what portion of the main sweep
is expanded in the lower half. The Horizontal knobs control the size and position
of the delayed sweep. The delay value is momentarily displayed in the
upper-right portion of the display when the delay time ( ) knob is turned.
Delayed sweep is a magnified portion of the main sweep. You can use delayed
sweep to locate and horizontally expand part of the main sweep for a more
detailed (higher-resolution) analysis of signals.
To change the sweep speed for the main sweep window, press the Main softkey,
then turn the sweep speed knob.
