TDS 684A, TDS 744A, & TDS 784A User Manual

When you first connect a signal to a channel and display it, the signal displayed

may not be scaled and triggered correctly. Use the autoset function and you

should quickly get a meaningful display.

You should have a stable display of the probe compensation waveform from the

last step. Do the following steps to first create an unstable display and then to

autoset the display:

1. To create an unstable display, slowly turn the trigger MAIN LEVEL knob

(see Figure 2–7) first one direction, and then the other. Observe what

happens when you move the trigger level above the highest part of the

waveform. Leave the trigger level in that untriggered state.

2. Press AUTOSET (see Figure 2–8) and observe the stable waveform display.
