Example 1: Taking Simple Measurements
The function is used to observe an unknown signal; to display, measure frequency,
and peak-to-peak amplitude.
and peak-to-peak amplitude.
To quickly display a signal, please do the steps as follows:
1. Set the probe and the channel attenuations to 10X
2. Connect signal to CH1 with the probe
3. Press the AUTO button
The oscilloscope sets the vertical, horizontal, and trigger controls at the best status
automatically. To optimize the waveform display, adjust these controls manually to
meet the requirements.

Selecting Automatic Measurements
The oscilloscope takes automatic measurements on most signals. To measure the
frequency and the peak-to-peak amplitude, do these steps as follows:
1. Measure peak-to-peak amplitude
The oscilloscope takes automatic measurements on most signals. To measure the
frequency and the peak-to-peak amplitude, do these steps as follows:
1. Measure peak-to-peak amplitude
Press Measure→Source→CH1 to set the measurement source
Press Voltage→Peak-Peak to select the peak-to-peak measurements and the
result will be displayed on the screen.
2．Measure frequency
Press Measure→Source→CH1 to set the measurement source
Press Time→Freq to select the frequency measurements and the result will be
displayed on the screen.
NOTE: The frequency, period, and peak-to-peak measurements are shown on the
screen and are updated periodically.
