Basic Operation 5.6 Fast Action Buttons AUTO: Automatically set the oscilloscope controls to generate a usable display of the input signals. Refer to the following table for relative content. RUN/STOP: Continuously acquire waveforms or stop the acquisition. 5.6.1 AUTO Autoset is one of the advantages digital oscilloscopes have. When you push the AUTO button, the oscilloscope will identify the type of waveform (sine or square wave) and adjust controls according to input signals so that it can accurately display the waveform of the input signal.
DSO1000B(V) Series HandHeld Oscilloscope User Manual 37 Options Settings Comments Type Vectors Dots Vectors fills up the space between adjacent sample points in the display; Dots only displays the sample points. Persistency OFF 0.2S-8S selectable Infinite Sets the time length to display each displayed sample point. DSO Mode YT XY YT format shows the vertical voltage in relation to time (horizontal scale); XY format displays a dot between CH1 and CH2 each time when a sample is acquired, where the voltage or current of CH1 determines the X coordinate of the dot (horizontal) and the voltage or current of CH2 determines the Y coordinate (vertical).
For detailed information, refer to descriptions on XY format in the following text. Contrast 0-15 16 ranks adjustable.
