Displaying an Unknown Signal with
Connect-and View™
The Connect-and-View™ function enables hands-off
operation to display complex unknown signals. This
function optimizes the position, range, time base, and
triggering and assures a stable display on nearly all
waveforms. If the signal changes, the setup will track
these changes.
To enable the Connect-and-View™ function, do the
following:
• Connect the red test lead from red input A to the
unknown signal to be measured .
Perform an Auto Set.
In the next example, the screen displays “1.411” in large
numbers and “-0.103” in smaller numbers. A scope trace
gives a graphical representation of the waveform.
The trace identifier (A) is visible on left of the waveform
area. The zero icon (
-) identifies the ground level of the
waveform.
