Scope settings to test or set gains
I have a Pico 4 channel scope at work, and wanted to know what settings, for gains, distortion, measurements and any sample wave forms out there?

Best to use a 1k -5 db source. Varies by head unit as well. Find head unit distortion point, then set amps off that volume level.

Awesome, I've not used an Oscilliscope since I worked on the AWG 10 Radar systems for the F4 Phantom back in the USMC (82-86) You can see if the signal starts Clipping there, I was explaining to some kids at work how I used that back in the day,, they were kinda mesmerized,, ROTFLMAO....
