If the trace display is unusual or unexpected
❏Check that the Horizontal time/division setting is correct for the expected frequency range of the input signals.
❏The sampling speed of the oscilloscope depends on the time/division setting. It may be that when the time/division setting is slower than 1 ms/div, the oscilloscope is sampling too slowly to capture all of the transitions on the waveform.
❏Check that all oscilloscope probes are connected to the correct signals in the circuit under test.
❏Check to see that the ground lead on the cable is securely connected to ground in the circuit under test. For
❏Use chapter 2 for information on probing considerations.
❏Check that the trigger setup is correct.
❏A correct trigger setup is the most important factor in helping you capture the data you desire. See the User’s Guide for information about triggering.
❏Check that infinite persistence in the Display menu is turned off, then press the Clear Display softkey.
❏Press the Autoscale key.
