Example 1: Measurement a Simple Signal
The purpose of this example is to display an unknown signal in the circuit, and
measure the frequency and peak-to-peak voltage of the signal.
1. Carry out the following operation steps for the rapid display of this signal:
(1) Set the probe menu attenuation coefficient as 10X and that of the switch in the
probe switch as 10X (see "How to Set the Probe Attenuation Coefficient" on P14).
(2) Connect the probe of Channel 1 to the measured point of the circuit.
(3) Press the Autoset button.
The oscilloscope will implement the Autoset to make the waveform optimized, based
on which, you can further regulate the vertical and horizontal divisions till the
waveform meets your requirement.
2. Perform Automatic Measurement
The oscilloscope can measure most of the displayed signals automatically. To
measure the period and frequency of the Channel 1 and the mean and peak-to-peak
voltage of the Channel 2, follow below steps:
(1) Press the Measure button to activate the measurement function menu.
(2) Press the H1 to display the Add menu.
(3) Press the F2 button to choose CH1 as the source.
(4) Press the F1 button, the type items will display at the left of screen, and turn the
M knob to choose Period.
(5) Press the F4 button, the period measurement will be added.
(6) Press the F1 button again, the type items will display at the left of screen, and
turn the M knob to choose Freq.
(7) Press the F4 button, the frequency measurement will be added, finish settings of
channel 1.
(8) Press the F2 button to choose CH2 as the source.
(9) Press the F1 button, the type items will display at the left of screen, and turn the
M knob to choose Mean.
(10) Press the F4 button, the mean measurement will be added.
(11) Press the F1 button, the type items will display at the left of screen, and turn the
M knob to choose PK-PK.
(12) Press the F4 button, the peak-to-peak voltage measurement will be added, finish
