Quick Reference Guide
Main Controls
The most often used buttons are listed below.
Many buttons bring up softkeys below the display.
These are also discussed. Note that some
numeric values and list options are modified
using the small rotary dial to the left of the
Marker key group following selection of a menu
item with the buttons. Others are modified by
repeatedly hitting the softkey to toggle values.

• Save/Recall To restore all settings to a known
  state, hit the Save/Recall button and then the
  resulting Default softkey below the screen.
  (Yes, yes, yes you can use AutoScale, but this
  button does not restore all important settings
  and is much abused in general. Leave it alone!
  Use your brain instead -)
• Vertical Controls Pressing the 1 or 2 keys
  repeatedly toggles the respective channels on and
  off. These keys also bring up a softkey menu
  that allows changing the input Coupling Mode
  between AC and DC. Vertical sensitivity and
  offset is controlled with the large and small
  rotary knobs respectively.
• Horizontal Controls Knobs are provided for
  varying time/division and screen position. Note
  that the deep-memory MegaZoom feature of the
  scope allows you to zoom in on a waveform with
  the time/div knob even after it is frozen with
  the Run/Stop or Single keys.
• Run/Stop and Single The Run/Stop key toggles
  between real-time display and stored waveform
  display. The Single key sets up to capture one
  sweep following the next trigger.
• Trigger Controls Use the Edge key to bring up a
  softkey menu where the trigger source (channel 1
  or 2) can be selected. Use Mode/Coupling to
  access the triggering mode softkey options
  either Auto or Normal. Normal will wait until
  the next trigger event, keeping the screen
  inactive if no trigger arrives. Use the rotary
  knob to control the trigger voltage level.
• Math Allows access to functions like FFTs
• QuickPrint Writes the current display graphics
  to a memory stick in the USB port immediately
  when pressed if properly configured via the
  Save/Recall button and Formats softkey.

Overview

• The MSO6032A is a 300 MHz bandwidth dual-channel
  digital oscilloscope combined with basic 16
  channel logic analyzer capabilities.
• The scope features a 2Gs/s sampling rate and a 1
  MB deep memory which help to avoid aliasing
  problems. Analog-like controls and emulation of
  phosphor persistence further improve ease of use
  and versatility.
• The main vertical sensitivity and offset controls
  and the horizontal timebase can be varied with a
  quick turn of the appropriate knob, while the
  display can be frozen using the Run/Stop and
  Single buttons. Pictures of the screen can be
  captured onto a USB memory stick via the
  front-panel receptacle.
