The functional checking details three types of checks used to determine if the oscilloscope is operating properly. Power-on Inspection The normal operating voltage for SDS1000X+ series digital oscilloscope is in range of 100-240VRMS, 50Hz/60Hz/440Hz. Connect the power line to the socket on the rear panel of the oscilloscope.

Press the power-on button located at the lower left corner of the front panel and several oscilloscope keys will be lighted for about 6 seconds simultaneously until the boot screen appears.
SIGLENT Probe Compensation It is better for you to compensate the probe at first use so as to match to the probe ratio of current input channel. Non-compensated or poorly compensated probes may cause measurement inaccuracies or errors. The probe compensation steps are as follows: 1.
SIGLENT 5. If the waveform does not show as “compensated correctly”, use a nonmetallic driver to adjust the low-frequency compensation adjustment hole on the probe until the waveform displays correctly. Auto Setup Press to enable the waveform auto setting function. The Auto Setup softkey oscilloscope will automatically adjust the horizontal time base, vertical scale and trigger mode according to the input signal to obtain an optimum waveform...
SIGLENT Self Calibration The self-calibration routine can quickly make the oscilloscope to perform at the optimum state in order to achieve the maximum accuracy. You can perform self-calibration at any time, especially when the change of the environment temperature is up to or more than 5℃ or more. Make certain that the oscilloscope has been warmed up or operated for more than 30 minutes before the self-calibration.
Page 17
SIGLENT appear: “press Run/Stop key to exit”. Press the Run/Stop button on the front panel to exit the calibration interface. Note: Under normal conditions the self-calibration procedure will take approximately 20 seconds. If it does not complete within this period of time or stop on one of the calibration settings then there may be a problem with the instrument.
SIGLENT Interface Test The SDS1000X/SDS1000X+ series oscilloscope is designed with four standard interfaces: USB Host, USB Device, LAN and Pass/Fail interface. Being connected to other instruments via these interfaces enables the oscilloscope to achieve even more enhanced capabilities. In order to ensure the oscilloscope is operating properly, it is recommended to first test the interfaces.

SIGLENT Troubleshooting This chapter explains how to deal with general troubles that you may encounter while operating SDS1000X(+) series oscilloscope. General troubles 1. The screen remains dark after power on: (1) Check if the power cord is correctly connected. (2) Check whether the fuse is burned out. If the fuse needs to be changed, please contact with SIGLENT as soon as possible and return the instrument to the factory to have it repaired by qualified personnel authorized by SIGLENT.
Page 58
SIGLENT 4. There is waveform displaying but not stable: (1) Check the trigger source: check whether the “Source” in “Setup” of “Trigger” is the actual operating channel. (2) Check if the waveform is wrong: it is easy for us to regard the wrong waveform as the real when a high frequency signal is connected to the instrument.

SIGLENT Check the Power Supply Before performing the power supply testing procedure, please make sure that the oscilloscope is grounded through the protective lead of the power cord. take care not to touch or even disassemble the power supply module without any safety precautions, or you may probably suffer from electric shock or burn.
SIGLENT Check the Main Board If you want to remove the main board from the metal shelf inside the oscilloscope, you’d better place it on a clean, insulated mat after removing. In addition, to avoid some chips or components on the main board being damaged for overheating, please cool the main board whenever possible using a fan.
SIGLENT 3. Check if the clock of the main board can work normally using an oscilloscope. Focus at the test point marked with “30MHz” and “25MHz” on the main board drawing. If the clock measurement is not 30M and 25M, then the failure may come from the main board, a new one is required necessary.
SIGLENT previous section. Here are procedures for testing the AWG board: 1. There is “AWG Connector” and “Signal Out” connector are located on the AWG board. Check if they are connected properly. 2. Make sure that the connectors on the main board and AWG board are connected properly firstly, then connect the power supply module cable to appointed place on the main board, lastly connect the oscilloscope power cord.
SIGLENT Here are procedures for testing the Display Module: 1. Disconnect the power cord to make sure the display module cable are correctly connected. 2. Connect the power cord and turn on the oscilloscope. If the screen remains dark, then go to test the voltage value of the backlight where “16V” and “-7V” on the board.
The LAN interface not working Check the LAN setting in the I/O set correctly menus, reboot the scope and try again.
