8. How to Implement Auto-calibration
The auto-calibration application can make the oscilloscope reach the optimum condition rapidly to obtain the
most accurate measurement value. You can carry out this application program at any time, but when the range
of variation of the ambient temperature is up to or over 5° C, this program must be executed.
For the performing of the self-calibration, all probes or wires should be disconnected with the input connector
first. Then, press the "8 (UTILITY)" button to call out the FUNCTION menu; push down the F3 menu selection
button to choose the option "Auto calibration"; finally, run the program after confirming that everything is ready
now.

9. Introduction to the Vertical System

Shown as Fig. 8, there are a series of buttons and knobs in VERTICAL CONTROLS. The following practices
will gradually direct you to be familiar with the using of the vertical setting.
1. Use the button "VERTICAL POSITION" knob to show the signal in the center of the waveform
window. The "VERTICAL POSITION" knob functions the regulating of the vertical display
position of the signal.
earth datum point of the channel is directed to move up and down following the wave form.
Measuring Skill
If the channel is under the DC coupling mode, you can rapidly measure the DC component of the signal
through the observation of the difference between the wave form and the signal ground.
If the channel is under the AC mode, the DC component will be removed by filtration. This mode helps
you display the AC component of the signal with a higher sensitivity.
