Figure 1-5 Auto set Check CH2 by repeating Step 2 and Step 3. How to Implement the Probe Compensation When connect the probe with any input channel for the first time, make this adjustment to match the probe with the input channel.
Figure 1-7 Adjust Probe How to Set the Probe Attenuation Coefficient The probe has several attenuation coefficients, which will influence the vertical scale factor of the oscilloscope. To change or check the probe attenuation coefficient in the menu of oscilloscope: Push the function menu button of the used channels (CH1 or CH2 button).
How to Use the Probe Safely The safety guard ring around the probe body protects your finger against any electric shock, shown as Figure 1-9. Figure 1-9 Finger Guard Warning: To avoid electric shock, always keep your finger behind the safety guard ring of the probe during the operation.

Type Characteristics Window Better solution for magnitude than Rectangle, and good for frequency as well. It has slightly better frequency resolution than Hanning. Hamming Recommend to use for: Sine, periodic and narrow band random noise. Transients or bursts where the signal levels before and after the event are significantly different.
Notes for using FFT Use the default dB scale for details of multiple frequencies, even if they have very different amplitudes. Use the Vrms scale to compare frequencies. DC component or offset can cause incorrect magnitude values of FFT waveform. To minimize the DC component, choose AC Coupling on the source signal.
Horizontal Position and Horizontal Scale. Horizontal Position knob: this knob is used to adjust the horizontal positions of all channels (include those obtained from the mathematical manipulation), the analytic resolution of which changes with the time base. Horizontal Scale knob: it is used to set the horizontal scale factor for setting the main time base or the window.

6. Demonstration Example 1: Measurement a Simple Signal The purpose of this example is to display an unknown signal in the circuit, and measure the frequency and peak-to-peak voltage of the signal. 1. Carry out the following operation steps for the rapid display of this signal: Set the probe menu attenuation coefficient as 10X and that of the switch in the probe switch as 10X (see "How to Set the Probe Attenuation Coefficient"...
Example 2: Gain of a Amplifier in a Metering Circuit The purpose of this example is to work out the Gain of an Amplifier in a Metering Circuit. First we use Oscilloscope to measure the amplitude of input signal and output signal from the circuit, then to work out the Gain by using given formulas.
Example 3: Capturing a Single Signal It's quite easy to use Digital Oscilloscope to capture non-periodic signal, such as a pulse and burr etc. But the common problem is how to set up a trigger if you have no knowledge of the signal? For example, if the pulse is the logic signal of a TTL level, the trigger level should be set to 2 volts and the trigger edge be set as the rising edge trigger.
Figure 0-3 Capturing a Single Signal Example 4: Analyze the Details of a Signal Noise is very common inside most of the electronic signal. To find out what's inside the noise and reduce the level of noise is very important function our oscilloscope is capable to offer. Noise Analysis The level of noise sometime indicates a failure of electronic circuit.
Separate Noises from the Signal When focusing on signal itself, the important thing is to reduce the noise level as lower as possible, this would enable user to have more details about the signal. The Average function offered by our Oscilloscope can help you to achieve this. Here are the steps for how to enable Average function.
