Figure 2–9 shows the display after pressing AUTOSET. If necessary, you can

adjust the waveform now by using the knobs discussed earlier in this example.

Figure 2–9: The Display After Pressing Autoset

NOTE. If you are using a passive probe, such as the P6139A probe, the corners

on your displayed signal may look rounded or pointed. (See Figure 2–10.) If so,

then you may need to compensate your probe. See To Compensate Passive

Probes on page 3–4.

Example 2: Displaying Multiple Waveforms

The TDS Oscilloscope can display up to four channels, three math waveforms,

and four reference waveforms at one time. Do the following tasks to learn how to

display and control more than one waveform at a time.
