Verifying Basic Oscilloscope Operation
3 Press the Default Setup key on the front panel.
The display will pause momentarily while the oscilloscope is configured to its
default settings.
4 Press the Autoscale key on the front panel.
The display will pause momentarily while the oscilloscope adjusts the sweep
speed and vertical scale. You should then see a square wave with peak-to-peak
amplitude of approximately 5 divisions and a period of almost 3 divisions. If you
do not see the waveform, ensure your power source is adequate, the
oscilloscope is properly powered-on, and the probe is connected securely to the
front-panel channel input BNC and to the probe calibration output.
