Basic Operation
DSO5000P Series Digital Storage Oscilloscope User Manual 16
: Pulse Width trigger, positive polarity.
: Pulse Width trigger, negative polarity.
13. Pop-up Prompt
14. Readout tells trigger level.
15. Icon indicates whether the waveform is inverted or not.
16. 20M Bandwidth Limit. If this icon lights up, it means the bandwidth limit is enabled, otherwise
disabled.
17. Icon indicates channel coupling.
18. Channel Marker
19. Window displays waveform.
5.1.1 XY Format
The XY format is used to analyze phase differences, such as those represented by Lissajous
patterns. The format plots the voltage on CH1 against the voltage on CH2, where CH1 is the
horizontal axis and CH2 is the vertical axis. The oscilloscope uses the untriggered Normal
acquisition mode and displays data as dots. The sampling rate is fixed at 1 MS/s.
The oscilloscope can acquire waveforms in YT format at any sampling rate. You may view the
same waveform in XY format. To perform this operation, stop the acquisition and change the
display format to XY.
The table below shows how to operate some controls in XY format.
Controls

5.2 Horizontal Controls
Use the horizontal controls to change the horizontal scale and position of waveforms. The
horizontal position readout shows the time represented by the center of the screen, using the
trigger time as zero. When you change the horizontal scale, the waveform will expand or contract
to the screen center. The readout near the upper right of the screen shows the current horizontal
position in second. M represents ‘Main Time Base’, and W indicates ‘Window Time Base’. The
