Get the Waveform on the Display

The first step when using an oscilloscope is to get the waveform on the display. Autoscale is an algorithm that automatically optimizes the display of one or more waveforms. The oscilloscope triggers at an arbitrary point until you set up the trigger conditions.

1Press the Config key.

2Highlight the field in the top, left corner of the display, and press the Select key. Highlight Scope in the pop-up menu, and press the Select key.

3Highlight the Autoscale field and press the Select key. Highlight Continue in the pop-up menu and press the Select key.

The arbitrary trigger point happens to be on a rising edge.

The glitch you will capture with the timing analyzer and the oscilloscope.
