Saving and Printing Data / 46 Forcing a Default Setup / 47 This chapter describes how to use the Infiniium 90000A Series oscilloscope’s front-panel controls and user interface. • The familiar front-panel oscilloscope interface with knobs and keys is optimized for common tasks and basic measurements.
Using the Oscilloscope Inputs and Outputs On the Infiniium 90000A Series oscilloscopes, the Aux Trig input, Aux Out output, and probe compensation terminal are located on the front of the oscilloscope. The Trig Out output and 10 MHz Reference input and output are located on the back of the oscilloscope.
Using the Oscilloscope Front Panel Controls (Keys and Knobs) Overview The Infiniium 90000A Series oscilloscope front panel gives you direct access to the functions needed to perform the most common measurements, using a traditional oscilloscope interface. Knobs and keys let you directly set vertical and horizontal parameters.
