4 Vertical System
You can select vertical set-
tings using knobs for the
vertical position and the
sensitivity. You may also use
a menu that is permanently
displayed as well as an ad-
vanced menu. You can select
for which channel you want
the settings to be activated
by pressing the respective
channel key. Once a channel
has been activated, the key
will be marked by a colored
LED light. Additionally, the
screen display will include a
frame around the activated
channel with a frame and a
color brighter than that of deactivated channels. The cor-
responding short menu is always visible and you can push
the Menu
21
key to activate the advanced menu.
4.1 Coupling
Theanalogchannelshaveaninputimpedanceof1MΩ.
The user determines if DC coupling or AC coupling is to be
used. With DC coupling, the DC voltage of the signal will
be displayed. With ACcoupling,aninputlterof2Hzsup-
presses the display of DC voltage. Signals of up to 100 V
(peakvalue)maybeconnecteddirectlyto1MΩinputs.
Higher voltages can be measured with external probes (up
to 40 kV peak voltage). This should only be used with DC
coupling. For all general applications, the probes HZ154
(1:1 / 10:1) supplied with the instrument will be used. You
can set the coupling using the short menu or channel
menu. Simply press the respective soft menu key to set
the coupling and the graphic inversion of the input chan-
nel. The menu applies to the corresponding active channel.
The illuminated channel key indicates which channel is
active. You can switch between channels by pressing the
respective channel key.

4.2 Sensitivity, Y Positioning and Offset
You can select the sensitivity of the analog inputs by using
the knob in the VERTICAL section (VOLTS/DIV) in 1-2-5
steps of 1mV/div to 10V/div. The knob is associated with
the active channel (push the respective channel key to
activate the desired channel). Pushing the knob once will
switch to a continuous sensitivity setting. You can use the
smaller knob in the VERTICAL section (POSITION) to de-
termine vertical settings for the active channel. Press the
MENU key to access advanced options.
On page 2|2 of this menu, you can add a DESKEW. To
activate this offset push the corresponding soft menu key.
You can set the offset value using the universal knob or
the KEYPAD key in the CURSOR/MENU section. Each ana-
log channel may be shifted in time by ±15 ns. This deskew
setting is used to compensate different signal delays when
using different cable lengths or probes.
4.3 Bandwidth Limit and Signal Inversion
Both the short menu and the advanced menu enable you
to insert an analog 20 MHz lowpassltertothesignal
path. This will eliminate all higher frequency interfe-
rence.Toactivatethelterintheshortmenu,pressthe

MENU the bandwidth limit will be set with the soft menu

vancedmenuintheVERTICALsection.Anactivatedlter

the channel name in the channel name window.
4.4 Probe Attenuation and Unit Selection
(Volt/Ampere)
The R&S®HMO1002 does not includes an integrated
probe attenuation detection. You can manually set the
attenuation factor in the advanced MENU in the VERTICAL
section.Thisispossiblewiththepredenedstepsx1,x10,
x100, x1000 or, using the universal knob or the KEYPAD
key,asdenedbytheuserfromx0.001tox1000.
In this menu, you can also select the unit Ampere in case
you are using a current probe. If you select the unit Am-
pere (A), the menu shows the most common factors (1V/A,
100mV/A, 10mV/A, 1mV/A). You may also use the USER
setting to select any given value. This setting may also be
used to measure the voltage via shunt. All measurements
are always displayed with the correct unit and scale.
4.4.1 Probe Compensation
You can perform the probe compensation via compen-
sation wizard or manually. To open the wizard, press the
Make sure to align passive probes prior to their rst use, after an
extended measurement break, or when switching instruments or
channels.
