Built-in Quick Help A Quick Help system is built into the oscilloscope. Instructions for using the quick help system are given on page 58. Digital Channels Because all of the oscilloscopes in the Agilent 6000 Series have analog channels, the analog channel topics in this book apply to all instruments. Whenever a topic discusses the digital channels, that information applies only to Mixed-Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) models or DSO models that have been upgraded to an MSO. Using this book with t
