I have it set at 4.9V along the right edge of the screen. That's exactly the thing that I haven't totally figured out yet. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not.
When nothing displays, I adjust it down, fiddle through the modes, and eventually it shows up. Could be the scope, could be me.
From what I've observed:
- AUTO is constantly scanning, RUN/STOP button locks display when needed,
- NORMAL locks display until next trigger,
- SINGLE locks display, RUN/STOP button resets.
The annoying thing with SINGLE, is that the scope reverts to AUTO after I reset RUN/STOP. Then I have to cycle through the modes to put it back in SINGLE (takes a few button clicks each time).
I like to learn as mush as I can on my own, then read up when I have specific questions (like now I'm going to read up on auto, normal, single modes, as well as when does voltage trigger level appear on the screen).
