Setting the oscilloscope bandwidth
Use this procedure to set the oscilloscope bandwidth. Bandwidth is the maximum frequency that an oscilloscope can
accurately display and measure. The oscilloscope gradually attenuates (reduces) the signal level of frequencies that are
higher than the bandwidth. This means that although you can display signals that are above the bandwidth limit, their
amplitude values and other characteristics are not guaranteed to be accurate.
1. Push the Vertical Menu button for the
channel input that you want to set.
2. Push the Bandwidth side-menu button.
3. Use the Multipurpose knob to select and click the bandwidth setting.
Full sets the bandwidth to the maximum bandwidth of which the oscilloscope is capable.
20 MHz sets the bandwidth to 20 MHz.
Other bandwidth choices may be shown on the menu depending on the connected probe.
Setting the probe type (voltage or current)
The Probe Type submenu sets the type for probe that is connected to the oscilloscope. The default probe type is Voltage.
The oth
er valid probe type is current. Probes that have a TekProbe II or TekVPI interface automatically set the probe type
and related parameters when you plug them into the oscilloscope.
1. Push the Vertical Menu button for the
chann
el input that you want to set.
2. Push the Probe Setup side menu to display the Probe Setup submenu.
3. Use the Multipurpose knob to select and click Probe Type submenu item.
4. Select and click the probe type (Voltage or Cu rren t).
