Multicomp-Pro for this business informed about it, a repairing or replacement of the instrument will be arranged by us. How to Implement the Function Inspection Make a fast function check to verify the normal operation of the instrument, according to the following steps: 1.
Multicomp-Pro adjustment to match the probe with the input channel. The probe which is not compensated or presents a compensation deviation will result in the measuring error or mistake. For adjusting the probe compensation, please carry out the following steps: 1.
Multicomp-Pro This setting will be valid all the time before it is changed again. 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.
Multicomp-Pro 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℃ or over. Before performing a self-calibration, disconnect all probes or wires from the input connector.
Multicomp-Pro If the channel is under the DC coupling mode, you can rapidly measure the DC component of the signal through the observation of the difference between the wave form and the signal ground. If the channel is under the AC mode, the DC component would be filtered out. This mode helps you display the AC component of the signal with a higher sensitivity.
Multicomp-Pro found that the Horizontal Time Base displayed in the status bar changes accordingly. 3. When the HOR button is lit, use the upper knob to adjust the horizontal position of the signal in the waveform window. The upper knob is used to control the triggering displacement of the signal or for other special applications.

Multicomp-Pro 7. 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: (1) 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...
Multicomp-Pro Figure 7-1 Measure period and frequency value for a given signal 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.
Multicomp-Pro bottom left of the screen (see Figure 7-2). (11) Calculate the amplifier gain with the following formulas. Gain = Output Signal / Input signal Gain (db) = 20×log (gain) Figure 7-2 Waveform of Gain Measurement 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.

Multicomp-Pro display the Acquire menu. (4) Select Acqu Mode in the bottom menu. Select Peak Detect in the right menu. (5) Click to call up the menu panel. Click the Trig Menu softkey on panel to display the Trigger menu. (6) Select the first menu item in the bottom menu.
Multicomp-Pro 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.
Multicomp-Pro (2) Select Acqu Mode in the bottom menu. (3) Select Average in the right menu, select the average number in the left menu, observe the waveform obtained from averaging the waveforms of different average number. User would see a much-reduced random noise level and make it easy to see more details of the signal itself.

Multicomp-Pro (3) Push the CH1 to CH4 button to turn on CH1 and CH2, turn off CH3 and CH4. (4) Push the Autoset button, with the oscilloscope turning on the signals of the two channels and displaying them in the screen. (5) Push CH1 button to select CH1, turn the lower knob, and then push CH2 button to select CH2, turn the lower knob, making the amplitudes of two signals equal in the rough.
Multicomp-Pro Example 6: Video Signal Trigger Observe the video circuit of a television, apply the video trigger and obtain the stable video output signal display. Video Field Trigger For the trigger in the video field, carry out operations according to the following steps: (1) Click to call up the menu panel.
Multicomp-Pro 8. Troubleshooting 1. Oscilloscope is powered on but no Display. Check whether the power connection is connected properly. Restart the instrument after completing the checks above. If the problem persists, please contact us and we will be under your service.
