acquisitions is reached; (See page 93, Acquire.)
Scan Mode Display. You can use the Horizontal Scan acquisition mode (also
called Roll mode) to continuously monitor signals that change slowly. The
oscilloscope displays waveform updates from the left to the right of the screen and

section of the screen separates the new waveform points from the old.
The oscilloscope changes to the Scan acquisition mode when you turn the
Horizontal Scale knob to 100 ms/div or slower, and select the Auto Mode option

is live. Stopping the a cquisition (when you push the Run/Stop button) freezes
the display. In either mode, the waveform display can be scaled or positioned
with the vertical and horizontal controls.
Application
You can use the Application button when an Application Key is inserted in the
f
ront of the oscilloscope, such as for power analysis. For more information, refer
to the user manual for the application.
Autorange
WhenyoupushtheAutoRange button, the oscilloscope activates or deactivates
the Autorange function. An LED light turns on adjacent to the AutoRange button
that indicates when the function is active.
This function automatically adjusts setup values to track a signal. If the signal
changes, the setup continues to track the signal. When you power on the
oscilloscope, autoranging is always inactive.
