Auto Setting of Waveform Display
DS1000B series digital oscilloscope provides the auto setting function. The
oscilloacope can adjust the voltage ratio, time base and trigger mode automatically
according to the input signal to realize optimum waveform display. To use the auto
setting function, the frequency of the input signal should be greater than or equal to
50Hz and the duty cycle should be greater than 1%.
1. Auto setting operation steps
Connect the signal under test to the input channel.
Press AUTO and adjust the parameters manually to get the optimum waveform
display if necessary.
