Acquisition
Using Autoset
Use Autoset to quickly and automatically set up the instrument (acquisition, horizontal, trigger, and vertical) based on
the characteristics of the input signal. Autoset makes adjustments to the signal such that the waveform displays two or
three cycles with the trigger near the midlevel.
1.
Connect the probe, and then select the
input channel. (See page 15,
Signal Input
2.
Push the

button to execute
an Autoset.

The Autoset Undo control window opens
automatically after an Autoset operation.
Click
Undo
if you want to undo the
last Autoset. Parameters that are not
affected by Autoset retain their settings.
Quick Tips
To position the waveform appropriately, Autoset may change the vertical position . Autoset always sets vertical offset
to 0 V.
If you use Autoset when one or more channels are displayed, the instrument selects the lowest numbered channel for
horizontal scaling and triggering. You can individually control the vertical scaling of each channel.
If you use Autoset when no channels are displayed, the instrument turns on channel one (CH 1) and scales it.
The Autoset Undo control window remains on the screen until you open another control window. After Autoset Undo
closes, you can still undo the last Autoset by selecting the Undo Last Autoset command from the Edit menu. Although
the last Autoset is immediately undone, the Autoset Undo control window does not open again.
You can stop the Autoset Undo control window from opening automatically by changing the User Preferences in the
Utilities menu.
