Do the following steps to reset the oscilloscope to its factory default settings:
1. Press the Save/Recall SETUP button to display the Setup menu (see Fig-
ure 3–3). Press the button directly below the Recall Factory Setup menu item.
2. Press the button to the right of the OK Confirm Factory Init side menu item.
3. Press the SET LEVEL TO 50% button (front panel) to be sure the
oscilloscope triggers on the input signal.
Selecting Channels
The TDS Oscilloscope applies all actions based on a specific waveform, such as
taking measurements or applying any changes it receives to the vertical control
settings, to the selected waveform. You can select a channel waveform, a math
waveform, or a reference waveform. This subsection describes how to select a
waveform and how you can turn the display of a waveform off.
To determine which channel is currently selected, check the channel readout. It
shows the selected channel in inverse video in the lower left corner of the
display. The channel reference indicator for the selected channel also appears in
reverse video along the left side of the display. (See Figure 3–3.)
