To verify basic oscilloscope operation
1 Connect an oscilloscope probe to channel 1.
2 Attach the probe to the calibration output on the front panel of the oscilloscope.
Use a probe grabber tip so you do not need to hold the probe. The calibration output is marked
with a square wave symbol.

3 Press the Default Setup key on the front panel.
The display will pause momentarily while the oscilloscope is configured to its default settings.
4 Press the Autoscale key on the front panel.
The display will pause momentarily while the oscilloscope adjusts the sweep speed and vertical
scale. You should then see a square wave with peak-to-peak amplitude of approximately 5
divisions and a period of almost 7 divisions. If you do not see the waveform, ensure your power
source is adequate, the oscilloscope is properly powered-on, and the probe is connected securely
to the front-panel channel input BNC and to the probe calibration output.
