Setting up the oscilloscope
You should become familiar with several functions that you may use often when
operating your oscilloscope: Autoset, Autorange, saving a setup, and recalling a
setup.
Using autoset
Each time you push the Autoset button, the Autoset function obtains a stable
waveform display for you. It automatically adjusts the vertical scale, horizontal
scale and trigger settings. Autoset also displays several automatic measurements
in the graticule area, depending on the signal type.
Using autorange
Autorange is a continuous function that you can enable or disable. The function
adjusts setup values to track a signal when the signal exhibits large changes or
when you physically move the probe to a different point. To use autorange, push
the Autoset button for more than 1.5 seconds.
Saving a setup
The oscilloscope saves the current setup if you wait five seconds after the last
change before you power off the oscilloscope. The oscilloscope recalls this setup
the next time you apply power.
You can use the Save/Recall Menu to save up to ten different setups.
You can also save setups to a USB flash drive. The oscilloscope accommodates a
USB flash drive for removable data storage and retrieval. See USB flash drive
port on page 61.
Recalling a setup
The oscilloscope can recall the last setup before the oscilloscope was powered
off, any saved setups, or the default setup. See Save-Recall on page 96.
Default setup
The oscilloscope is set up for normal operation when it is shipped from the
factory. This is the default setup. To recall this setup, push the Default Setup
button. To view the default settings, refer to Appendix D: Default Setup.
