Basic Operation
DSO5000P Series Digital Storage Oscilloscope User Manual 39
5.6 Fast Action Buttons
AUTOSET: Automatically set the oscilloscope controls to generate a usable display of the input
signals. Refer to the following table for relative content.
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.
5.6.1 Autoset
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.
Adjusted to Normal or Peak Detect
Set to Vectors for an FFT spectrum; otherwise, unchanged
Adjusted to DC, Noise Reject or HF Reject
Adjusted; Autoset can not be used for the EXT TRIG signal
DC (if GND was chosen before); AC for the video signal; otherwise,
unchanged
The Autoset function examines all channels for signals and displays corresponding waveforms.
Autoset determines the trigger source according to the following conditions.
