Illustration 1 : Measuring simple signals

To observe and measure an unknown circuit signal, and to quickly
display and measure the signal's frequency and peak-to-peak value.
1. To quickly display this signal, follow the steps below :
① In the probe menu, set the attenuation factor to 10X and set
the switch on the probe to 10X.
② Connect the CH1 probe to the circuitry point to be measured.
Press [AUTO].
③
The oscilloscope will carry out auto setup to optimise
waveform display. In this status, you can further adjust the
vertical and horizontal range until you get the desired
waveform display.
2. Voltage and time parameters for automatic measurement
Your oscilloscope can automatically measure most display
signals. To measure signal frequency and peak-to-peak value,
follow the steps below :
①
Press [MEASURE] to display the automatic measurement
menu.
② Press [F1] to enter the measurement type selection menu.
③ Press [F3] to select voltage.
④ Press [F5] to go to page 2/4, then press [F3] to select
measurement type : peak-to-peak value.
⑤ Press [F2] to enter the measurement type selection menu,
then press [F4] to select time.
⑥
Press [F2] to select measurement type : frequency.
Peak-to-peak value and frequency measurement value are
now displayed in positions [F1] and [F2] respectively.
