To display a signal automatically
Protek1000 Series has an Auto feature that automatically sets up the scope meter to
best display the input signal. Using Auto requires signals with a frequency greater than
or equal to 50 Hz and a duty cycle greater than 1%.
Press the
AUTO
button, the scope meter turns on and scales all channels that have
signals applied, and it selects a time base range based on the trigger source. The trigger
source selected is the lowest numbered input that has a signal applied.
Protek1000 Series scope meters have two-channels input and an external trigger input.
Connect a signal to the channel 1 input.
1. Connect a signal to the scope meter.
2. Press
AUTO
.
The scope meter may change the current setting to display the signal. It will
automatically adjust the vertical and horizontal scaling, the trigger coupling, type,
position, slope, level, and mode settings.
Using the Scope Meter
This part provides a step-by-step introduction to the scope meter functions. The
introduction does not cover all of the capabilities of the scope meter functions but gives
basic examples to show how to use the menus and perform basic operations.
Turn on the scope meter
Connect scope meter to AC power via a power adapter. (The scope meter can still work
with built-in Li-ion battery even without AC power supply.)
Turn the scope meter on by pressing down the power on/off key.
The instrument then performs Self-checking after power is on. The welcome picture will
display on the screen when the system finishes Self-checking.
The scope meter is powered up in its last setup configuration.
