1. Choose an input coupling mode. Turn on the desired channel by

pressing the appropriate channel button - CH1 or CH2 (or CH3 or 4 on 4

menu, and then select a coupling mode from the menu.

Limiting Bandwidth

You can limit the bandwidth to reduce display noise. When you turn
Bandwidth Limit ON, the Bandwidth Limit value is set to 20 MHz. It also filters
the signal to reduce noise and other unwanted high frequency components.

NOTE: The oscilloscope vertical response rolls off slowly above its bandwidth;
or, above 20 MHz when the Bandwidth Limit is set to ON. Therefore, the FFT
spectrum can show valid frequency information higher than the oscilloscope
bandwidth. However, the magnitude information near or above the
bandwidth will not be accurate.

1. Turn the Bandwidth Limit ON by activating the specific channel. Press

the desired channel button - CH1 or CH2 (or CH3 or 4 on 4 channel
models).

2. Now, press the BW Limit option button on page 1/2 of the channel

menu, and then select On.

A highlighted B icon at the lower-left of the display indicates bandwidth
limitation is on.
