TDS5000 Series User Manual
Autoset automatically sets up the oscilloscope controls (acquisition, display,
horizontal, trigger, and vertical) based on the characteristics of the input signal.
Autoset is much faster than manual control-by-control setup. When the input
signal is connected, use Autoset to automatically set up the oscilloscope:
NOTE. Autoset may change vertical position to position the waveform appropri-
ately. It alw ays sets vertical offset to 0 V.

If you use Autoset when one or more channels are
displayed, the oscilloscope selects the lowest numbered
channel for horizontal scaling and triggering. You can
individually control the vertical scaling of each channel.
If you use Autoset when no channels are displayed, the
oscilloscope turns on channel one (CH 1) and scales it.
