Wait ten minutes to see if the oscilloscope can boot successfully. If not, contact SIGLENT for further instructions. If is, try to upgrade to newest firmware to solve the problem. If the display still stuck at logo graph, contact SIGLENT for further instructions. If there is no trace display Check the acquisition is running and trigger status is Trig’d or Auto.
Check that the vertical position setting is working. Do a self-calibration following the procedures in the User Guide. If self-calibration does not work, contact SIGLENT for further instructions. If there is an unexpected trace when no input connected to channel input ...
Only qualified personnel should perform the troubleshooting procedures. Disconnect the power cord whenever possible. DO NOT try to troubleshoot if visible damage is detected on the power supply module and the main board, return it to SIGLENT for further repair. WARNING HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES Maintenance is performed with power supply on and without protective covers.
