I'm new to electronics, and using my new equiptment I would like to generate a sine signal on my function generator and display it on my oscilloscope.
Equipment:
* The scope is Rigol DS1054Z
* Function generator is a $60 digital chinese.
My problem is:
When I plug connect the function generator to the scope, the signal changes on the scope from a flat line to the mountain shape - see here (https://imgur.com/a/nAytK). From the pics you can see the mountainy shapes. However any setting modification on the signal generator does not change displayed signal on the scope. On signal generator tried changing:
* signal shape (sine, sawtooth, etc)
* frequency - value and scale (Mhz, Hz, kHz) on both signal generator and scope.In any case - No change to displayed signal on Oscope.
I understand I do *not* need to connect the signal generator to a dc bench power supply. Just a direct connection between it and the scope is necessary, as I've seen in youtube videos such as [this tutorial]()
I also have an anaolgue signal generator i picked up from ebay. Using that does not change anything - which makes me suspect there's a setting on the Oscope that's incorrect ?
