Set the trigger level (1)

Set the trigger level, the trigger hysteresis and the trigger slope by dragging and double clicking. Press the right mouse button and setup the complete trigger system.

Channel 1 auto range (2)

Toggle between auto ranging or a pre-defined range setting for channel 1. When the right mouse button is pressed on this button, a pre-defined value can be chosen from a dropdown menu.

Channel 1 Invert (3)

Toggle the invert for channel 1.

Channel 1 signal coupling (4)

Set the signal coupling for channel 1 to AC or DC.

Reference signals (5)

Copy, show, save and load reference signals. These reference signals can be used to compare the current signal with a previously measured signal.

Math channel (6)

Select a math channel. When a math channel is selected, a new channel is created where the normal inputs are either added or subtracted.

Envelope mode (7)

Toggle envelope mode. By using envelope mode, certain glitches can be captured that would otherwise go unnoticed, since the oscilloscope is constantly being refreshed.

Auto setup (8)

With the auto setup the oscilloscope sets itself according the input signal.

Channel 2 presets (9)

Switch between a number of pre defined offset and gain settings for channel 2. Press the right mouse button and select the settings from a menu.

Pre trigger (10)

Adjust the pre trigger point. Press the right mouse button and setup the complete time axis.
