Basic Operation
SINGLE SEQ: Acquire a single waveform and then stop the acquisition.
RUN/STOP: Continuously acquire waveforms or stop the acquisition.
HELP: Display the Help menu.
DEFAULT SETUP: Recall the factory setup. Refer to the following table for relative content.
Save to USB Disk: Save all displays on the screen to a USB device, just like the screen
capturing function of a computer.
5.6.1AUTOSET
Autoset is one of the advantages digital oscilloscopes have. When you push the AUTOSET
button, the oscilloscope will identify the type of waveform (sine or square wave) and adjust
controls according to input signals so that it can accurately display the waveform of the input
signal.

Vertical Bandwidth Full
Vertical Coupling DC (if GND was chosen before); AC for the video signal; otherwise,
unchanged
VOLTS/DIV Adjusted
The Autoset function examines all channels for signals and displays corresponding waveforms.
Autoset determines the trigger source according to the following conditions.
If multiply channels get signals, the oscilloscope will use the channel with the lowest
frequency signal as the trigger source.
If no signals are found, the oscilloscope will use the lowest-numbered channel displayed
in Autoset as the trigger source.
