Setting Up the Oscilloscope
You should become familiar with three functions that you may use
often when operating your oscilloscope: Autoset, saving a setup, and
recalling a setup.
Using Autoset
The Autoset function obtains a stable waveform display for you. It
automatically adjusts the vertical scale, horizontal scale and trigger
settings. Autoset also displays severa l a utomatic measurements in the
graticule area, depending on t he signa l type.
Saving a Setup
The oscilloscope saves the current setup if you wait five seconds
after the last change before you power off the oscilloscope. The
oscilloscope recalls this setup the next time you apply power.
You can use the SAVE/RECALL Menu to permanently save up to ten
different setups.
Recalling a Setup
The oscilloscope can recall the last setup before power off, any of
your saved setups or the de fault setup. See page 175.
