oscilloscope, display and adjust waveforms, and use the autoset function.
Example 2: Displaying Multiple Waveforms explains how to add, control,
and delete multiple waveforms.
Example 3: Taking Automated Measurements introduces you to the
automated measurement system.
Example 4: Saving Setups discusses saving and recalling the digitizing
oscilloscope setups.
Triggering explains how to set the triggers to convert unstable displays or
