The following screen appears on MSO/DPO5000B Series instruments:
Behavior
Acquisition is the process of sampling the analog input signal, digitizing the signal to convert it into digital data, and then
assembling the signal information into a waveform record. The instrument creates a digital representation of the input signal by
sampling the voltage level of the signal at regular time intervals. The sampled and digitized points are stored in memory along
with the corresponding timing information. The instrument uses the digital representation of the signal for display, measurements,
or for further processing.
Use the controls on this tab to define the sampling method, the acquisition mode, turn Fast Acquisitions on or off, and activate an
external reference.
On MSO5000B models and DPO5000B models with option MSOE, you can turn on or turn off MagniVu.

Autoset
From the Horiz/Acq menu, select Autoset or push the front panel Autoset button.
Overview
Use Autoset to automatically set up the front-panel controls based on the characteristics of the input signal. This is much faster
and easier than manually setting up the controls.
Autoset may change the vertical position to place the waveform appropriately on screen. The instrument always sets vertical
offset to 0 V.
