Example 1: Taking Simple Measurements
When you want to observe an unknown signal in a certain circuit without having its amplitude and frequency
parameters, you may use this function to take a fast measurement on the frequency, period and peak-to-peak
amplitude of the signal.
Follow the steps below.
1.
Set the switch on the oscilloscope probe to 10X;
2.
Push the CH1 MENU button and set the Probe option attenuation to 10X;
3.
Connect the CH1 probe to the test point of the circuit;
4.
Press the AUTOSET button.
