Description The Handscope Oscilloscope Model OX5042-CK combines three instruments into one: • 40MHz oscilloscope • Independent 8000-count multimeter with power measurements • Built-in harmonic analyzer out to the 31st harmonic (fundamental between 40 and 450Hz) The instrument operates at a constant acquisition depth of 2500 points. An LCD TFT screen is used to view the applied signals along with all the setting parameters.

Use of the 10:1 Probes Distribution of stray capacitors: Considering the stray capacitances, it is imperative to correctly connect the reference conductors for each probe The conductors should preferably be connected to the cold points to avoid the transmission of noise by the stray capacitance between modes. The noise of the digital ground (earth) is sent to the analog input by the stray capaci- tance.
The calibration output (3Vpp, 1kHz) for the probe is underneath the battery cover. To remove the battery cover, use a coin to turn the slot on the back of the unit counter- clockwise. Connect the probe to be adjusted to the calibration output under the battery housing cover, as shown.
If a malfunction occurs within the warranty period, you may return the instrument to us for repair, provided we have your warranty registration information on file or a proof of purchase. AEMC® Instruments will, at its option, repair or replace the faulty mate- rial.
