Regarding the Conventional DL850/DL850V
The DL850E/DL850EV manuals also cover how to use the conventional DL850/DL850V (firmware
version 3.0 and later).
In the explanations, the model is indicated as DL850E/DL850EV, but if you are using the DL850/
DL850V, read “DL850E/DL850EV” as “DL850/DL850V.”
Note that the following options are available only for the DL850E/DL850EV. They cannot be used with
the DL850/DL850V.
• Power math (/G5 option)
• GPS interface (/C30 option)

1.1 Configuring Voltage Measurements
This section explains the following settings (which are related to the vertical axis for voltage
measurements):
• Waveform display on and off
• Display labels
• Input coupling
• Probe attenuation
• Bandwidth limit
• The zoom method
• The zoom percentage
• The upper and lower display limits for zooming waveforms
• Offset
• Trace settings (input channel assignment)
• Inverted waveform display on and off
• Linear scaling
• Vertical scale
• Vertical position
► “Voltage Measurement” in the Features Guide
CH Menu
1. Press a key from CH1 to CH16 to display the following menu.
Set the bandwidth limit.*
Set the input coupling.*
Set the probe attenuation or the current-to-voltage conversion ratio
(1:1, 10:1, 100:1, 1000:1, 10A:1V(0.1V/A), 100A:1V(0.01V/A)).
Press to set the display label.
Displays the second page of the menu
Turns the waveform display on and off
* The available settings vary depending on the module.
Note
Channel keys (from CH1 to CH16) whose waveforms are displayed are illuminated. You can press channel
keys that are not illuminated to turn the waveform display on. You can press channel keys that are illuminated
to turn the waveform display off.

Setting the Input Coupling (Coupling)
Input Coupling Settings and Frequency Response
The frequency responses for the AC and DC input coupling methods are shown below.
Please note that when set to AC, the DL850E/DL850EV does not acquire low frequency signals or
low frequency components, as seen in the following figure.

When Coupling Is Set to AC When Coupling Is Set to DC
* This value differs depending on the input module. For details, see “6.13 Module Specifications”
in the getting started guide (IM DL850E-03EN).
CAUTION
If the input coupling is AC, in accordance with the frequency response, the input signal is
attenuated more in lower frequencies. As a result, even when a high voltage signal is actually
applied, it may not be measured as a high voltage signal. Furthermore, the over-range
indicator may not be displayed on the screen. As necessary, switch the input coupling to DC
to check the input signal voltage.
Applying an input signal whose voltage exceeds the maximum input voltage of the input
module may damage the input section.

10A:1V(0.1V/A), 100A:1V(0.01V/A): Displays the current probe’s output voltage rate
Note
The DL850E/DL850EV can only display input signal voltage values and scale values correctly if you set
the correct probe type. For example, if you use a 10:1 voltage probe but set the probe type to 1:1, the
automatically measured amplitude of the waveform will be 1/10 the real value.
Adjusting the DC Offset/Gain (Gain/Offset Adjustment)
Press the Gain/Offset Adjustment soft key to display the following screen.
Turns DC offset canceling on and off
Acquires the DC offset value
Adjust the gain (using the jog shuttle).
Note
• When DC offset canceling is set to ON, you cannot adjust the gain.
• When gain adjustment is enabled, DC offset canceling cannot be set to ON.
If you acquire the DC offset value when gain adjustment is enabled, gain adjustment will be disabled, and
DC offset canceling will be set to ON.
Setting the Traces (Trace Setup)
Press the Trace Setup soft key to display the following screen.
Set the waveforms that you want to allocate.
Set the display zone.*

Setting the Vertical Scale (SCALE knob)
1. Press one of the CH1 to CH16 keys to select the channel that you want to set the vertical scale
for.
2. Turn the SCALE knob to set the vertical scale.
If you turn the SCALE knob when waveform acquisition is stopped, two values are shown on
the vertical scale screen. The upper value is the vertical scale for the displayed waveforms. The
lower value is the vertical scale that you have set. This value will be applied the next time that
waveform acquisition is started.
Upper value: Vertical scale for the displayed waveform
Lower value: Vertical scale that you have set
* When the displayed waveform’s vertical scale and the vertical scale
that you have set are the same, only the lower value is displayed.
While the vertical scale is being
set, its value is displayed here.
Setting the Waveform Vertical Position (Vertical POSITION knob)
1. Press one of the CH1 to CH16 keys to select the channel that you want to set the vertical
position for.
2. Turn the vertical POSITION knob to set the vertical position.
You can set the vertical position to 0 div by pressing the knob.
