Displaying an Unknown Signal with Connect-and-View™

The Connect-and-View feature lets the test tool display complex, unknown signals automatically. This function optimizes the position, range, time base, and triggering and assures a stable display of virtually any waveform. If the signal changes, the setup is automatically adjusted to maintain the best display result. This feature is especially useful for quickly checking several signals.

To enable the Connect-and-View feature, do the following:

1

 

 

Perform an Auto Set. AUTO appears at

 

 

 

 

 

the top right of the screen.

 

 

 

 

The bottom line shows the range, the time base, and the trigger information.

The waveform identifier (A) is visible on the bottom right side of the screen, as shown in Figure 7. The input A zero icon (-) at the left side of the screen identifies the ground level of the waveform.

2

 

 

Press a second time to select the

 

 

 

 

 

manual range again. MANUAL appears

 

 

 

at the top right of the screen.
