Application Examples
Taking Simple
Measurements
You need to see a signal in a circuit, but you do not know the amplitude or
frequency of the signal. You want to quickly display the signal and measure the
frequency, p
eriod, and p eak-to-peak amplitude.
Using Autoset
To quickly display a signal, follow these steps:
1. Push the 1 (channel 1 menu) button.
2. Push Probe ► Voltage ►Attenuation ► 10X.
3. If using P2220 probes, set their switches to 10X.
4. Conn
ect the channel 1 probe tip to the signal. Connect the reference lead to
the c ircuit reference point.
5. Push
the AutoSet button.
The oscilloscope sets the vertical, horizontal, and trigger controls automatically.
If y
ou want to optimize the display of t he waveform, you can manually adjust
these controls.
NOTE. The oscilloscope displays relevant automatic measurements in the
waveform area of the screen based on the signal type that is detected.
For oscilloscope-specific descriptions, refer to the Reference chapter. (See
page 79, Autoset.)
