Taking Simple Measurements
Observe an unknown signal in a circuit, display the signal quickly and
measure the frequency and peak-to-peak amplitude.
1. Using Auto set
To quickly display a signal, follow these steps:
-
Press the CH1 button, set the Probe option attenuation
to 10X and set the switch to 10X on the probe.
-
Connect the channel 1 probe to the signal.
-
Press the AUTO button.
-
The oscilloscope sets vertical, horizontal, and trigger
controls automatically. If you want to optimize the
display of the waveform,
You can adjust these controls manually till you are satisfied with
the waveforms
2. Taking Automatic Measurements
The oscilloscope can take automatic measurements of most
displayed signals. To measure signal frequency and peak-to-peak
amplitude, follow these steps:
NOTE. The oscilloscope displays relevant automatic measurements in the
waveform area of the screen based on the signal type detected.
