1 SAFETY RULES * The safety can turn compromised if there are not applied the instructions given in this Manual. * Use the equipment only on systems or devices to measure the negative connected to ground potential or off-grid. * This is a class I equipment, for safety reasons plug it to a supply line with the corresponding ground terminal.
2 Symbols related with safety: The four channels of the oscilloscope are not electrically isolated. The channels should adopt a common ground during measuring. To prevent short circuits, the 2 probe grounds must not be connected to 2 different non-isolated DC levels. The diagram of the oscilloscope ground wire connection: Oscilloscope Probe...

The division of Math waveform is displayed at the left bottom of screen. Digital Filter Digital filter provides 4 types of filters (low pass, high pass, band pass and band reject).
Using FFT function The FFT (fast Fourier transform) math function mathematically converts a time-domain waveform into its frequency components. It is very useful for analyzing the input signal on Oscilloscope. You can match these frequencies with known system frequencies, such as system clocks, oscillators, or power supplies. FFT function in this oscilloscope transforms 8192 data points of the time-domain signal into its frequency components mathematically (the record length should be 10K or above).

Transients or bursts where the signal levels before and after the event are significantly different. The frequency resolution when using the Kaiser window is fair;...
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.

Figure 0-4 Signal with Noises 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.
Figure 0-5 Reduce Noise level by using Average function Example 5: Application of X-Y Function Examine the Phase Difference between Signals of two Channels Example: Test the phase change of the signal after it passes through a circuit network. X-Y mode is a very useful when examining the Phase shift of two related signals.

Note: To avoid overheat of battery during charging, the ambient temperature is not allowed to exceed the permissible value given in technical specification. Replacing the Lithium Battery Unit It is usually not required to replace the battery unit. But when it is required to replace it, only qualified personnel can carry out this operation, and only use the same specification lithium battery.
