Display unknown signals using automatic Settings The automatic setting function enables the oscilloscope to automatically display and measure unknown signals. This function optimizes position, range, timebase, and trigger and ensures a stable display of any waveform. This feature is particularly useful for quickly checking several signals. To enable auto-setup, perform the following steps: 1.
Function Description Setting Menu Set Channel 1 as the source trigger signal. Source Set Channel 2 as the source trigger signal. Set to prevent DC component from passing Coupling through. Set to allow all components to pass through. Auto Waveforms can be acquired without detecting trigger conditions.
