2.14 Online Help Function The oscilloscope has an online help function that supplies multi-language help information, and you can recall them to help you operate the oscilloscope when you need. Press the “HELP” button to enter the help status, then press every button to recall the corresponding help information.
Chapter3 Application Examples This section presents a series of application examples. These simple examples highlight the features of the oscilloscope and give you ideas for using it to solve your own test problems. Taking simple measurements ◆ ◆ Taking cursor measurements ◆...
3.1Taking Simple Measurements Observe a unknown signal in a circuit, display the signal quickly and measure the frequency and peak-to-peak amplitude. 1. Using Auto set To quickly display a signal, follow these steps: 1. Press the CH1 button, set the Probe option attenuation to 10X and set the switch to 10X on the probe.

Measure signal peak -to-peak amplitude ⑵ ● Press the “MEASURE” button to display “auto measure menu”. ● Press the top second option button. ● Press the “Voltage” option button to enter the “Voltage measure menu”. ● Press the “Source” option button to select input signal channel. ●...
3.2 Taking Cursor Measurements You can use the cursors to take time and voltage measurements of a waveform. quickly 3.2.1 Measuring Ring Frequency To measure the ring frequency at the rising edge of a signal, follow these steps: 1). Press the “CURSORS” button to see the “Cursor Menu”. 2).
3.2.2 Measuring Ring Amplitude To measure the amplitude, follow these steps: 1). Press the “CURSORS” button to see the Cursor Menu. 2). Press the “Mode” button to select “Manual”. 3). Press the “Type” option button and select “Voltage”. 4). Press the “Source” option button and select “CH1”. 5).
3.3 Catch the single signal To capture a single event, you need to gather some pre-test knowledge of the signal in order to correctly set up the trigger level and slope .if you are not sure the instance of the signal, you can observe it through auto or normal trigger mode to ensure the trigger level and slope.
3.4 Analyze the signal detail You have a noisy signal displayed on the oscilloscope and you need to know more about it. You suspect that the signal contains much more detail than you can now see in the display. 3.4.1 Looking at a Noisy Signal The signal appears noisy and you suspect that noise is causing problems in your circuit.
3.5 Triggering on a Video Signal Observe the video circuit in a piece of medical equipment and Use the video trigger to obtain a stable display. 3.5.1Triggering on Video Field To trigger on the video fields, follow these steps: 1). Press the “TRIGGER MENU” button to see “trigger menu” 2).Press the top option button and select “Video”.
3.6. Application of X-Y function Viewing Impedance Changes in a Network Connect the oscilloscope to monitor the input and output of the circuit To view the input and output of the circuit in an XY display, follow these steps: 1)Press the “CH 1” MENU button and set the Probe option attenuation to 10X. 2) Press the “CH 2”...

3.7 Analyzing a Differential Communication Signal You are having intermittent problems with a serial data communication link, and you suspect poor signal quality. Set up the oscilloscope to show you a snapshot of the serial data stream so you can verify the signal levels and transition times. Because this is a differential signal, you use the math function of the oscilloscope to view a better representation of the waveform.
Chapter 4 prompting messages and troubleshooting 4.1 Prompting messages: ■ Trig level at limit! : Mention you that the trigger Level is at a limit when you turn the Trig level knob. ■ Horizon position at limit! : Mention you that the horizontal position is at a limit when you turn the horizon position knob.

4.2 Troubleshooting 1. After the oscilloscope is powered on,the screen remains dark ,please do as following steps: ⑴ Check the power cable’s connection. ⑵ Ensure the power switch is turned on. ter the inspections above,restart the oscilloscope. ⑶ If the oscilloscope is still not used after the checking, please connect with ⑷...
