Purposes
a) Firstly calibrate the Oscilloscope to provide a rough view of the signal (possible using Autoset), then set the
parameters as indicated below.
You will notice that the display is not stable.
Then set up a pulse-width trigger as indicated below, and increase the timebase speed in order to allow
detailed analysis of the fault on the digital frame.
L+ measurement
b) Next you can use a slower timebase, for example 5µs/div in order to observe the general composition of the
digital frame.
Depending on the sampling speed used by the instrument, use of the "Min-Max" mode may be indispensable to
obtain a correct representation of the signal.
