Troubleshooting
If the trace display is unusual or unexpected
If the trace display is unusual or unexpected
❏
Check that the Horizontal time/division setting is correct for the expected
frequency range of the input signals.
❏
The sampling speed of the oscilloscope depends on the time/division setting.
It may be that when the time/division setting is slower than 1 ms/div, the
oscilloscope is sampling too slowly to capture all of the transitions on the
waveform.
❏
Check that all oscilloscope probes are connected to the correct signals in the
circuit under test.
❏
Check to see that the ground lead on the cable is securely connected to ground
in the circuit under test. For high-speed measurements, each probe’s individual
ground lead should also be connected to a ground point closest to the signal
point in the circuit under test.
❏
Use chapter 2 for information on probing considerations.
❏
Check that the trigger setup is correct.
❏
A correct trigger setup is the most important factor in helping you capture the
data you desire. See the User’s Guide for information about triggering.
❏
Check that infinite persistence in the Display menu is turned off, then press
the
Clear Display
softkey.
❏
Press the
Autoscale
key.
