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.
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:
Measure signal frequency
1. Input the signal to channel 1.
2. Press the “AUTO” button.
3. Press the “MEASURE” button to see “Auto Measure Menu”.
4. Press the top option button.
5. Press the “Time” option button to enter the “Time Measure
menu”.
6. Press the “Source” option button to select input signal channel.
7. Press the “Type” option button to select “Freq”
.
The corresponding icon and measure value will display on the
third option area.
Measure signal peak-to-peak amplitude
1. Press the “MEASURE” button to display “Auto Measure Menu”.
2. Press the top second option button.
3. Press the “Voltage” option button to enter the “Voltage measure
menu”.
4. Press the “Source” option button to select input signal channel.
NOTE. The oscilloscope displays relevant automatic measurements in the
waveform area of the screen based on the signal type detected.
