Function Setting
Vertical invert Off
Vertical scale (volts/division) Adjusted
The following changes to the setup of the oscilloscope deactivate autorange:
■
Vertical scale deactivates vertical autoranging
■
Horizontal scale deactivates horizontal autoranging
■
Display or remove a channel waveform
■
Trigger settings
■
Single sequence acquisition mode
■
Recall a setup
■
XY Display format
■
Persistence
The Autorange function is usually more useful than Autoset in the following
situations:
■
Analyzing a dynamically changing signal
■
Quickly comparing a sequence of several signals without adjusting the
oscilloscope. This is very useful if you need to use two probes at the same
time, or if you need to use a probe in one hand and are holding something
else in the other.
■
Controlling which settings the oscilloscope automatically adjusts
If your signals vary in frequency, but have similar amplitudes, you can use
Horizontal Only autoranging. The oscilloscope will adjust the horizontal settings,
but leave the vertical settings unchanged. This way, you can visually estimate the
amplitude of the signal without worrying about the vertical scale changing.
Vertical Only autoranging works similarly, adjusting vertical parameters and
leaving the horizontal settings unchanged.
