3.Quick Start 3. Quick Start Introduction to the Structure of the Oscilloscope This chapter makes a simple description of the operation and function of the oscilloscope, enabling you to be familiar with the use of the oscilloscope in the shortest time. Front Panel The front panel has knobs and function buttons.
3.Quick Start zooming mode. 6. Trigger button: Accesses to trigger system setting. When the button light is on, the A knob is used to adjust trigger level of current channel. 7. The B knob: When one of the CH1 – CH2 buttons is lighted, this knob is used to adjust the voltage scale of current channel.
3.Quick Start the oscilloscope regarded as "slave device". For example: to use this port when connect PC to the oscilloscope by USB. 4. USB Host port: It is used to transfer data when external USB equipment connects to the oscilloscope regarded as "host device". For example: Saving the waveform to USB flash disk needs to use this port.

You can carry out this application program at any time. This program must be executed whenever the change of ambient temperature is 5℃...
3.Quick Start 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 would be filtered out. This mode helps you display the AC component of the signal with a higher sensitivity. Vertical offset back to 0 shortcut key Turn the A knob to change the vertical display position of the selected channel, and push the A knob to set the vertical display position back to 0 as a shortcut key, this is...
3.Quick Start displacement of the signal or for other special applications. If it is applied to triggering the displacement, it can be observed that the waveform moves horizontally with the knob when you rotate the A knob. Triggering displacement back to 0 shortcut key Turn the A knob to change the horizontal position of channel and push the A knob to set the triggering displacement back to 0 as a shortcut key.
