Figure 2-4: Front panel trigger and output controls
QUICK EDIT button
Enters the QUICK EDIT mode from the waveform editor. This button
allows you to edit waveforms that have immediate effect on the output
signal. Use together with the VERTICAL and HORIZONTAL controls for
quick edit.
RUN button
Enables waveform output. The signal
output depends on the RUN mode
settings.
TRIGGER controls
Controls the trigger parameters.
Pushing the TRIGGER MENU button
displays the Trigger side menu. This
has the same effect as pushing
SETUP (front)→Trigg er (bottom).
The LEVEL knob adjusts the trigger
level.
FORCE TRIGGER button
Pushing the FORCE TRIGGER button
generates an internal trigger event.
FORCE EVENT button
Pushing the FORCE EVENT button generates an
internal event signal.
HORIZONTAL controls
Used to control the output horizontal axis parameters.
Pushing the HORIZONTAL MENU button displays the Horizontal side menu.
This is the same as selecting SETUP (front)→Horizontal (bottom).
The OFFSET knob adjusts the horizontal position.
The SAMPLE RATE/SCALE knob adjusts the clock frequency.
VERTICAL controls
Used to control the output vertical axis parameters.
Pushing the VERTICAL MENU button displays the VERTICAL side menu.
This is the same as selecting SETUP (front)→Vertical (bottom).
The OFFSET knob, adjusts the vertical offset.
The LEVEL/SCALE knob adjusts the amplitude.
