2.2 Using Autoset

The 2540B/2542B/2540B-GEN/2542B-GEN oscilloscopes

provide an Autoset function which sets the vertical, horizontal,

and trigger controls automatically for optimal display of the

signal(s) connected at either or both CH1 and CH2.

Autoset function detects, turns on, and scales any channel

with a repetitive waveform if it meets the following

requirements:

• Frequency of at least 50Hz
• Duty cycle greater than 0.5%
• Amplitude of at least 10 mVpp

Note: Any channels that do not meet these requirements

are turned off.

When you are using more than one channel, the Autoset

function sets the vertical controls for each channel and uses

CH1 to set the horizontal and trigger controls.

To configure the oscilloscope quickly and automatically to

see connected signals, press the AUTO key. The

oscilloscope will take a few seconds to automatically set
