About this Chapter

This chapter provides a step-by-step introduction to the scope functions of the test tool. The introduction does not cover all of the capabilities of the scope functions but gives basic examples to show how to use the menus and perform basic operations.

Powering the Test Tool

Follow the procedure (steps 1 through 3) in Figure 2 to power the test tool from a standard ac outlet.

See Chapter 8 for instructions on using battery power.

Turn the test tool on with the on/off key.

The test tool powers up in its last setup configuration.
