3.2 SWITCHING ON THE INSTRUMENT
Connect the power cord and set the front panel power switch to ON. For any line
source between 100V to 240V nominal, 50/400 Hz, the instrument automatically
turns on. After performing the built-in power-up routine, the instrument is
immediately ready for use. The instrument’s settings will be identical to those
when the oscilloscope was switched off (with the batteries installed).
To ensure that you will get the same setup in all cases, press the
STATUS
key
and
TEXT OFF
key simultaneously. This will set the instrument in a predefined
default condition (STANDARD SETUP) and a trace will appear on the screen.
Text is also displayed at the bottom of the screen.
