MAKING AN EASY SETUP

Continuous Auto Set automatically selects the optimum settings for connected input signals and keeps track of any variation of the signal. Start Continuous Auto Set by

pressing . For most signals, the ScopeMeter test tool will automatically set inputs, amplitudes, time base setting, and triggering for an optimum display.

Pressing sets the following:

INPUT A and/or INPUT B is switched on depending on signal input. All other waveform displays are switched off.

Between two and five periods of the waveform with the lowest frequency are displayed.

The attenuation per input is set so that the waveform occupies about four vertical divisions.

The trigger source is chosen as the input signal with the lowest frequency.

If no triggerable waveform is found when you press , approximate settings are used. If the input signal subsequently changes, the test tool readjusts itself; you will always have a meaningful picture on the display.

Continuous Auto Set can be configured through the Menu. Refer to Chapter 6 for a complete description.

CONTROLLING INPUTS A AND B

Press or to open the input settings menu.

Selecting the Input

Press on the appropriate input to turn it on and off.

Selecting the Input Coupling

Press on the appropriate input to select the input signal coupling. The selection is shown in the upper line of the top display. AC-coupling allows for reading ac voltages above 40 Hz only. DC-coupling allows for reading ac and dc voltages.

The GND selection disconnects the input signal and displays the ground or zero level as a horizontal line. Ground provides a useful tool for setting up the display to show a high dc level or voltage spike. For example, if you anticipate a high positive dc level, select GND and press to move the ground level lower on the display. A small marker box () on the right side of the display identifies the ground level.
