To disable or re-enable vectors

1 Press [Display] key on the front panel.

2 Press Type softkey to toggle between Vectors and Dots.

When Vectors are enabled, Vectors draw a line between consecutive waveform data points.

? Vectors give an analog look to a digitized waveform. Complex analog signals like video and modulated signals show

analog-like intensity information with vectors.

? Vectors allow you to see steep edges on waveforms, such as square waves.

? Vectors allow subtle detail of complex waveforms to be viewed, much like an analog oscilloscope trace, even when

the detail is just a small number of pixels.

You may want to turn vectors off when highly complex or multivalued waveforms are displayed. Turning vectors off

may aid the display of multivalued waveforms such as eye diagrams.

Having vectors on does not slow down the display rate.

Digital channels on a mixed-signal oscilloscope are not affected by the Vectors setting. They are always displayed

with vectors on. They also only contain one acquisition worth of information.

To adjust waveform intensity

You can adjust the intensity of displayed waveforms to account for various signal characteristics, such as fast time/div

settings and low trigger rates.

Increasing the intensity lets you see the maximum amount of noise and infrequently occurring events. Reducing the

intensity can expose more detail in complex signals as shown in the following figures.

1 Press the [Display] key -> Intensity softkey to illuminate it.

2 Turn the V0 knob to adjust the waveform intensity.

Waveform intensity adjustment affects analog channel waveforms only (not math waveforms, reference waveforms,

digital waveforms, etc.).

To select the grid type

Press the Grid softkey; then, turn the V0 knob to select the grid type. You can also press Grid softkey continuously

to select “Full”, “Half” or “None”.

? Full — the normal oscilloscope grid. Turn on the background solid grid.

? Half — Turn on the background dotted grid.

? None— Turn off the background grid.

To adjust the grid intensity

To adjust the display grid (graticule) intensity:

1 Press the [Display] key.

2 Press the Graticule softkey; then, turn the V0 knob to change the intensity of the displayed grid.

The intensity level is shown in the Graticule softkey and is adjustable from 0 to 100%.
