Note

The auto set option for the signal frequency is similar to the automatic trigger option for the signal frequency. (See Chapter 5: “Automatic Trigger Options”). However, the auto set option determines the behavior of the auto set function and shows only effect when you press the auto set key.

If the frequency range is set to > 15 Hz, the Connect-and- View function responds more quickly. The response is quicker because the test tool is instructed not to analyze low frequency signal components. However, when you measure frequencies lower than 15 Hz, the test tool must be instructed to analyze low frequency components for automatic triggering:
