In this example we will use the oscilloscope's built-in pulse generator (labeled Aux Out on the rear
panel) as the signal source.

1. Select PicoSample 3 from the Windows Start menu.
2. You may be asked to calibrate the timebase and channels of your scope. If it's appropriate to
do so, click OK.
3. Connect the Aux Out to Channel 1.
4. If you are using a PicoScope model without a built-in pulse generator, select Demo when
starting the software to use the demonstration signal generator, and continue to step 7.
5. Click Aux In/Out on the bottom menu bar. A new side menu will appear.
TIP When opening a side menu, right-click the appropriate button to open the menu to the
right of the waveform display, or left-click to open it on the left.
6. Select Pulse, NRZ, RZ, or 500 MHz Clock from the Waveform menu.
7. You should now see a signal waveform in the oscilloscope window. If it is not shown, make
sure the Run button is active. The waveform may be unstable or incorrectly scaled at this
stage.
8. Click Autoscale on the top menu bar.
9. Adjust the basic amplitude and timebase controls.
You have now captured your first waveform with a PicoScope 9300 Series scope!
