2.Safety Terms and Symbols To avoid body damage and prevent product and connected equipment damage, carefully read the following safety information before using the test tool. This product can only be used in the specified applications. Warning The four channels of the oscilloscope are not electrically isolated. The channels should adopt a common ground during measuring.
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 front panel of the oscilloscope, enabling you to be familiar with the use of the oscilloscope in the shortest time.
3.Quick Start Rear Panel Figure 3- 2 Rear Panel 1. Handle 2. Air vents 3. AC power input jack 4. Foot stool: Adjust the tilt angle of the oscilloscope. 5. USB Device port: It is used to transfer data when external USB equipment connects to the oscilloscope regarded as "slave device".
3.Quick Start Control Area Figure 3- 3 Control Area Overview 1. Function button area: Total 6 buttons. 2. Horizontal control area with 1 button and 2 knobs. "HOR" button refer to horizontal system setting menu, "Horizontal Position" knob control trigger position, " Horizontal Scale" control time base. 3.
3.Quick Start "Vertical Scale" knob control voltage scale of current channel. 6. M knob(Multipurpose knob): when a symbol appears in the menu, it indicates you can turn the M knob to select the menu or set the value. You can push it to close the menu on the left and right.

3.Quick Start 10. The waveform of CH1. 11. Right Menu. 12. The waveform of CH4 13. The waveform of CH3 14. The waveform of CH2. 15. Current trigger type: Rising edge triggering Falling edge triggering Video line synchronous triggering Video field synchronous triggering The reading shows the trigger level value of the corresponding channel.
3.Quick Start of the waveform of the CH3 channel. If the pointer is not displayed, it means that this channel is not opened. 25. The two blue dotted lines indicate the horizontal position of cursor measurement. 26. The green pointer shows the grounding datum point (zero point position) of the waveform of the CH4 channel.
3.Quick Start The instrument carries out all self-check items and shows the Boot Logo. Push the Utility button, select Function in the right menu. Select Adjust in the left menu, select Default in the right menu. The default attenuation coefficient set value of the probe in the menu is 10X.
3.Quick Start probe hook tip is used, ensure that it keeps in close touch with the probe. Connect the probe tip with the signal connector of the probe compensator and connect the reference wire clamp with the ground wire connector of the probe connector, and then push the Autoset button on the front panel.
3.Quick Start Caution: The default attenuation coefficient of the probe on the instrument is preset to 10X. Make sure that the set value of the attenuation switch in the probe is the same as the menu selection of the probe attenuation coefficient in the oscilloscope.
3.Quick Start How to Implement Self-calibration The self-calibration application can make the oscilloscope reach the optimum condition rapidly to obtain the most accurate measurement value. 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 2. Use the Vertical Position knob to show the selected channel waveform in the center of the waveform window. The Vertical Position knob functions the regulating of the vertical display position of the selected channel waveform. Thus, when the Vertical Position knob is rotated, the pointer of the earth datum point of the selected channel is directed to move up and down following the waveform, and the position message at the center of the screen would change accordingly.
3.Quick Start Horizontal Scale knob to change the horizontal time base, and it can be found that the Horizontal Time Base display in the status bar changes accordingly. 2. Use the Horizontal Position knob to adjust the horizontal position of the signal in the waveform window.
3.Quick Start 3. Push the Force button to force a trigger signal, which is mainly applied to the "Normal" and "Single" trigger modes. How to Measure Automatically Push the Measure button to display the menu for the settings of the Automatic Measurements.
4.Communication with PC 4. Communication with PC The oscilloscope supports communications with a PC through USB port. You can use the Oscilloscope communication software to store, analyze, display the data and remote control. To learn about how to operate the software, you can push F1 in the software to open the help document.
