3.1Taking Simple Measurements
Observe a unknown signal in a circuit, display the signal quickly and measure
the frequency and peak-to-peak amplitude.
1. Using Auto set
To quickly display a signal, follow these steps:
1. Press the CH1 button, set the Probe option attenuation to 10X and set the switch to
10X on the probe.
2. Connect the channel 1 probe to the signal.
3. Press the AUTO button.
The oscilloscope sets vertical, horizontal, and trigger controls automatically. If you
want to optimize the display of the waveform,
You can adjust these controls manually till you are satisfied with the waveforms
2.
Taking Automatic Measurements
The oscilloscope can take automatic measurements of most displayed signals.
To measure signal frequency and peak-to-peak amplitude, follow these steps:
(1)Measure signal frequency
●
Input the signal to channel 1.
●
Press the “AUTO” button.
●
Press the “MEASURE” button to see “auto Measure Menu”.
●
Press the top option button.
●
Press the “Time” option button to enter the “Time Measure menu”.
●
Press the “Source” option button to select input signal channel.
●
Press the “Type” option button to select “Freq”
.
The corresponding icon and measure value will display on the third option area.
NOTE
. The oscilloscope displays relevant automatic measurements in the
waveform area of the screen based on the signal type detected.
