Taking Simple Measurements

You need to see a signal in a circuit, but you do not know the

amplitude or frequency of the signal. You want to quickly display the

signal and measure the frequency, period, and peak-to-peak

amplitude.

CH 1

Using Autoset

To quickly display a signal, follow these steps:

1. Push the CH 1 MENU button and set the Probe option

attenuation to 10X.

2. Set the switch to 10X on the P2200 probe.
