Chapter 3 Application Examples
Example 1: Taking Simple Measurements
The function is used to observe an unknown signal; to display, measure frequency,
and peak-to-peak amplitude.
1. To quickly display a signal, please do the steps as follows:
(1) Set the probe
[1] and the channel attenuations to 10X.
(2) Connect signal to CH1 with the probe.
(3) Press the Auto button.
The oscilloscope sets the vertical, horizontal, and trigger controls at the best
status automatically. To optimize the waveform display, adjust these controls
manually to meet the requirements.
2. Selecting Automatic Measurements
The oscilloscope takes automatic measurements on most signals. To measure
the frequency and the peak-to-peak amplitude, do these steps as follows:
(1) Measure peak-to-peak amplitude
Press Measure→Source→CH1 to set the measurement source
Press Voltage→Peak-Peak to select the peak-to-peak measurements and the
result will be displayed on the screen.
(2) Measure frequency
Press Measure→Source→CH1 to set the measurement source
Press Time→Freq to select the frequency measurements and the result will be
displayed on the screen.
NOTE: The frequency, period, and peak-to-peak measurements are shown on
the screen and are updated periodically.
Note:
[1] For DS1204B, the standard probe is RP3300A which attenuation ratio is fixed at 10X and does
not need to be adjusted.
