Note:

When the Scope restarts, the Time scale resizes itself to the Trace Time value and the circular buffer
gets erased.

How to Adjust the Scope Trace Time

When the Scope window displays a Plot Mode of Time, type in a Trace Time value to change the X-axis Time
scale.

The trace time can be changed with the Scope running or stopped.

When stopped, changing the trace time does not affect the X Axis. To adjust the X-Axis, use the X-Axis
Pan-Zoom control.

When running, the X-Axis maximum value is set to the trace time and the X-Axis Pan-Zoom control is
disabled.

How to Synchronize the Function Generator and Scope

The Sync Current Channel feature effectively “synchronizes” channel selection for the function generator and
scope. This feature facilitates the set up and tuning of systems with a large number of channels.

To “synchronize” channel selections for the scope and function generator:

1. Enable the Sync Station Channel button on the scope toolbar.

2. Click the Sync Current Channel button on the Inputs panel of the Station Manager window (Display >

Station Setup).

This applies the current channel selections on the Station Setup to both Channel selections on a scope
display and to the function generator.

If the function generator is running or is in group mode, clicking the Sync Current Channel button will not
make any changes to the function generator.

Scope Offsets

The Offset setting defines the plot grid’s midpoints. Applying an Offset shifts the grid’s zero reference points
up and down in the plot.
