Setting Up Automatically: Autoset and Reset
The digitizing oscilloscope can automatically obtain and display a stable
waveform of usable size. This section describes how to execute autoset.
Autoset automatically sets up the front panel controls based on the characteristics
of the input signal. Autoset makes adjustments in these categories: Acquisition,
Display, Horizontal, Trigger, and Vertical.
NOTE. Autoset may change vertical position in order to position the waveform
appropriately. It always sets vertical offset to 0 V.
Autoset the Oscilloscope
Do the following steps to automatically setup the oscilloscope:
1. Press the Channel Selection button (such as CH 1) corresponding to your
input channel to make it active.
2. Press AUTOSET.
If you use autoset when one or more channels are displayed, the digitizing
oscilloscope selects the lowest numbered channel for horizontal scaling and
triggering. Vertically, all channels in use are individually scaled.
If you use autoset when no channels are displayed, the digitizing oscilloscope
turns on channel one (CH 1) and scales it.
Reset the Oscilloscope
Do the following steps to reset your oscilloscope to its factory default settings:
Press SETUP
➞ Recall Factory Setup (main) ➞ OK Confirm Factory Init
(side).
