1. SAFETY PRECAUTION The A oscilloscope is easy to operate and highly reliable. It is an ideal instrument for research, production, education, and development. It is a compact and portable oscilloscope with a frequency bandwidth of 10MHz and sensitivity of 5mV/DIV-5V/DIV. Supplied as standard, with a switchable X10: X1 probe which extends the sensitivity up to 50V/div.
dangerous and should be strictly avoided. Take care not to allow water to get into this instrument. The use of this instrument in a wet state could result in electrical shock or fire. If water or other foreign matter has penetrated this instrument, first switch the power off, remove the power cord and call for repair.

3.2 FUNCTIONS OF CONTROL SWITCHES NO. SWITCHES FUNCTIONS POWER SWITCH Power on/off POWER LIGHT Lights when power on INTENSITY Controls brightness of display FOCUS After obtaining appropriate brightness with INTENSITY, adjust FOCUS for clearest line CALIBRATION Provide symmetric square wave for 0.5V range, frequency=1KHz.
3.3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 3.3.1 VOLTAGE CHECKING A oscilloscope is set for 110V±10% , 220V ±10% voltage. Before connecting the unit to the mains supply, make sure that the correct voltage is being used. Incorrect mains voltage may cause damage to the instrument. 3.3.2 BASIC OPERATION (1) POSITION FOR CONTROL SWITCHES CONTROL SWITCHES...

Fig 3-3 3.3.3 VERTICAL SYSTEM OPERATION (1) VOLTS/DIV switch should be turned to the correct position following the input signal range. Adjust position [16] to show the whole waveform within the available area. Adjust with VAR [17] if necessarily, trimming ratio is 2.5:1. (2) Input coupling options: “DC”is used for observing a signal with a direct current content such as logic or static signals, “DC”...
free run waveform requires a frequency higher than 20Hz; [11] “NORM”while waiting for sweep with no trace. When an input signal occurs the scope is triggered to sweep (3) and show the waveform . [10] “TV” used to determine TV signals. (4) SLOPE selection: Used to select whether the trigger signal crosses trigger level in a positive or a negative-going direction.

shown in figure 4.1 (5) Observe the waveform compensation and adjust the LF compensation controls as shown in figure 4-2 Good Compensate Over Compensate Under Compensate Fig 4-1 LF COMP Fig 4-2 4.2 MEASUREMENT 4.2.1P-P Voltage Measurements Step : (1) Input signal to INPUT [19] terminal. (2) Setup VOLTS/DIV and observe waveform, set waveform display on the screen within 5 divisions, and turn VAR clockwise to the calibration position.

(5) Adjust vertical position to ensure the bottom of waveform lies on a horizontal axis on the screen. Fig 4-3A. (6) Adjust horizontal position to ensure the top of waveform lies center of vertical axis. Fig 4-3B. (7) Read the divisions between A-B on vertical direction. (8) Calculate the signal Vp-p using the formula below : Vp-p= DIV of vertical direction×...
Fig 4-4 Level Zero-volt Reference Level 4.3 TIME MEASUREMENTS 4.3.1 TIME SPACE MEASUREMENTS This is a procedure for making time (period) measurements between two points on a waveform: (1) Connect the signal to be measured to the input terminal [19]. (2) Adjust level to obtain steady waveform.

4.3.2 CYCLE & FREQUENCY MEASUREMENTS Shown in Fig 4-6, frequency measurements are made by measuring the time period of one cycle of waveform (T), and calculating the frequency that equals the reciprocal of the time period. For example, T=16µS, then frequency is: F =1/T = ------------------ = 62.5 KHz 16 ×10 4.3.3 PULSE RISE TIME AND FALL TIME MEASUREMENTS...
4.4 TV Signals measurement Steps : (1) Connect TV signals to INPUT jack [19] (2) Set Trigger method to “TV” [10], Sweep switch turn to 2mS/Div. (3) Observe the screen, it should be negative synchronize pulse wave. (4) Adjust VOLTS/DIV and VAR to obtain proper range. 4.5 X–...
