Quick Tips
H To position the waveform appropriately, Autoset may change the vertical position. Autoset always sets
vertical offset to 0 V.
H If you use Autoset when one or more channels are displayed, the instrument selects the lowest numbered
channel for horizontal scaling and triggering. You can individually control the vertical scaling of each
channel.
H If you use Autoset when no channels are displayed, the instrument turns on channel one (CH 1) and scales
it.
H The Autoset U ndo control window remains on the screen until you open another control window. After
Autoset Undo closes, you can still undo the last Autoset by selecting the Undo Last Autoset command f rom
the Edit menu. Although the last Autoset is immediately undone, the Autoset Undo control window does not
open again.
H You can stop the Autoset Undo cont rol window from opening automatically by changing the User
Preferences in the Utilities menu.
