Test Preparations

Before the test, make the following preparations.
1. Self-test
2. Warm-up (make sure that the instrument has been running for at least 30 minutes)
3. Self-calibration
Self-test
After the instrument is connected to the power source, press the power key
lower-left corner of the front panel to power on the instrument. You can also click or
tap > Utility > Setup. Then select "Switch On" for the Power status menu. After
the instrument is connected to power source, it will start directly.
During the start-up process, the instrument performs a series of self-tests. After the
self-test, the splash screen is displayed.
If the oscilloscope cannot start normally, refer to the "Troubleshooting" chapter in
DHO1000 User Guide to locate the problem and resolve it. Do not perform self-
calibration or performance tests until the instrument passes the self-test.
Self-calibration
The self-calibration program can quickly make the oscilloscope work in an optimal
state to get the precise measurement results. You can perform self-calibration at any
time, especially when the changes of the ambient temperature reach or above 5℃.
Make sure that the oscilloscope has been warmed up or operating for more than 30
minutes before the self-calibration.
1. Disconnect all the input channels.
2. In "Utility" menu, click or tap SelfCal. The self-calibration interface will be
displayed as shown below.
