To make the oscilloscope remain in the acquisition mode you

 

 

have chosen, press the AutoScale Acq Mode softkey and select

 

 

Preserve Acquisition Mode. Otherwise, the acquisition mode will

 

 

default to Normal whenever the AutoScale key is pressed.

 

Example

Connect the oscilloscope probes for channels 1 and 2 to the

 

 

Probe Comp output on the front panel of the instrument. Be

 

sure to connect the probe ground leads to the ground lug beside the Probe Comp output. Set the instrument to the factory default configuration by pressing the Save/Recall key, then the Default Setup softkey. Then press the AutoScale key. You should see a display similar to the one shown below.
