Step 7. Use Auto-Scale
The oscilloscope has an auto- scale feature that automatically sets the
oscilloscope controls for the input waveforms present.
Auto-scale requires waveforms with a frequency greater than or equal to
50 Hz and a duty cycle greater than 1%.
1 Press Auto-Scale
.
The oscilloscope turns on all channels that have waveforms applied and
sets the vertical and horizontal scales appropriately. It also selects a
time base range based on the trigger source. The trigger source selected
is the lowest numbered channel that has a waveform applied.
