Vertical Settings and Channel Controls

When you turn a channel trace ON, the Channel menu opens. The Channel
menu page shown (1/3, 2/3, or 3/3) is always based on the most recent trace
activated.

Choosing Coupling

You can choose one of these input coupling modes:

DC - Passes both AC and DC components of the input signal.

AC - Blocks the DC component of the input signal and attenuates signals
below 10 Hz.

GND - Disconnects the input signal. Use GND coupling to display a zero-
volt waveform. Internally, the channel input is connected to a zero-volt
reference level.

NOTE:

If the channel is set to DC coupling, you can quickly measure the DC
component of the signal by simply noting its distance from the ground
symbol.

If the channel is set to AC coupling, the DC component of the signal is
blocked allowing you to use greater sensitivity to display the AC
component of the symbol.
