Instruction manual

DataStudio scopes is that in the DataStudio scope the controls are icon buttons, and a slider

is used for the trigger level and slope. It is a small triangle in a vertical strip at the very left

of the scope screen. The default trigger voltage is 0 with positive slope.

There are only 2 trigger options in the DataStudio scope. The default is triggering the

signal on the rising level. The other option is the falling level. This can be adjusted by

selecting the little down arrow next to the triangle by the smart cursor.

5.1 Using the DataStudio Scop e with the Voltage Sensor

In this section AC waveforms from the Wavetek function generator will be examined with

the DataStudio scope.

When you’re using the DataStudio scope to measure voltages in a circuit, use the voltage

sensor. To set up the voltage sensor, plug it into the 750 interface. In the DataStudio

experiment setup window click on the analog channel of the 750 interface that the voltage

sensor is plugged into. A drop down window will appear. Select voltage sensor. Next,

drag the scope icon to the voltage sensor icon. Plug the voltage sensor into the bnc banana

adapter. Below is an image of the BNC adapter.

Connect the BNC adapter to the output of the function generator.

A nice feature of the DataStudio scope is the Smart Cursor. With a good stable trace

investigate this capability. The smart cursor is located on the top left corner of the scope

window. The smart cursor is used to determine the exact voltage or time of a signal. The

smart cursor determines the (X,Y) values of the graph. In this case its (Time, Voltage) and

the units are (Seconds, Volts). Below is an illustration explaining the basic functions of the

DataStudio scope.
