6.1 Making Simple Measurements

This section provides instructions for measuring the

amplitude and frequency of an unknown signal on CH1.

Perform the following steps to quickly display the signal.

 Connect the channel 1 probe to the unknown signal.
 Press the AUTO key.

The oscilloscope automatically sets vertical, horizontal, and

trigger controls. You can adjust any of these controls

manually if you need to optimize the display of the waveform.

When you are using both CH1 and CH2 channels, the

Autoset function sets the vertical controls for each channel

and uses the CH1 channel to set the horizontal and trigger

controls.

The oscilloscope can take automatic measurements of the

displayed signals. Perform the following steps to measure

signal amplitude and frequency.

 Press the MEASURE key to display the MEASURE

menu.
