6.1 Making Simple Measurements
This section provides instructions for measuring the
amplitude and frequency of an unknown signal on CH1.
Perform the following steps to quickly display the signal.
 Connect the channel 1 probe to the unknown signal.
 Press the AUTO key.
The oscilloscope automatically sets vertical, horizontal, and
trigger controls. You can adjust any of these controls
manually if you need to optimize the display of the waveform.
When you are using both CH1 and CH2 channels, the
Autoset function sets the vertical controls for each channel
and uses the CH1 channel to set the horizontal and trigger
controls.
The oscilloscope can take automatic measurements of the
displayed signals. Perform the following steps to measure
signal amplitude and frequency.
 Press the MEASURE key to display the MEASURE
menu.
 Press the Voltage softkey to display the VOLTAGE
menu.
