Application Examples
Each application example highlights different features of the
oscilloscope and gives you ideas about using the oscilloscope to solve
test problems.
Taking Simple Measurements
You need to see a signal in a circuit, but y ou do not know the sign al
amplitude or frequency. Connect the oscillo scope to quickly display the
signal and then measure its frequency and peak-to-peak amplitude.
Using Autoset
To quickly display a signal, follow these steps:
1. Connect the channel 1 probe to the signal.
2. Push the Autoset button.
The oscil loscope sets vertical, horizontal, and trigger controls
automatically. You can manu ally adjust any of these controls if you
need to optimize the display of the waveform.
When you are using more than one channel, th e autoset function sets the
vertical controls for each channel and uses the lowest-numbered active
channel to set the horizon tal and trigger controls.
