    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS EXPLANATION OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS IN THIS MANUAL The safety signal word designates the degree or level of hazard seriousness: DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

  • Page 5: Etscope Electrical Warnings

    To avoid personal injury and/or equipment damage, read the following safety information: WARNING: • To avoid any potential short circuit or electric shock, use the power adapter supplied with the ETSCOPE. • The channels of the device are non-isolated electrically. Thus, when using the scope, the grounds of multiple probes are NOT allowed to connect to 2 different grounds.

  • Page 6: General Safety Requirements

    Always unplug the USB cable from the power supply when there is no tool attached to it. • Before using the ETSCOPE, refer to the user manual for allowed operating ratings. • To avoid potential short circuits or electrical shock, do not exceed electrical ratings of the connectors.
  • Page 7 • Moving components and belts can catch loose clothing, body parts, or test equipment and cause serious personal injury or tool damage. • Automotive batteries contain sulfuric acid and produce explosive gases that can result in serious injury due to ignition of gases.

  • Page 19: Self-Calibration

    SELF-CALIBRATION The self-calibration routine lets you optimize the oscilloscope signal path for measurement accuracy. You can run the routine at any time but you should always run the routine if the ambient temperature changes by 10°C or more. For accurate calibration, power on the Oscilloscope and wait twenty minutes to ensure unit is warmed up.
  • Page 20 The self-calibration routine takes several minutes. After calibration is complete, the prompt message “Self Adjust is successful” will pop up on the screen. Tap OK to finish the self- calibration. Note: ETScope should be calibrated at least once per year. MACTOOLS.COM...

    OPERATION SELECTING CHANNELS (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4) Tap the channel tab shown on the right edge of the screen. Tap the Channel icon to select the desired channel. In this mode, only the channels that are turned on can be selected. Note: For easy identification, each channel and waveform are marked in different colors.

  • Page 22: Horizontal Settings

    Note: For detailed instructions on the MATH and REF Channels, refer to Sections 6.15 and 6.16. The Oscilloscope can display multiple waveforms simultaneously, but only one waveform is allowed to display at top. The top channel is called current channel. The marker of the current .

  • Page 23: Vertical Settings

    VERTICAL SETTINGS The trigger determines when the Oscilloscope starts to acquire data and display a waveform. When a trigger is set up properly, it can convert unstable displays or blank screens into meaningful waveforms. When the Oscilloscope starts to acquire a waveform, it collects enough data so that it can draw the waveform to the left of the trigger point.

  • Page 24: Trigger Settings

    Note: User can set the factor from the options manually or by tapping the icons. TRIGGER SETTINGS Trigger indicates that when certain waveform meets the conditions that are predefined according to the requirements, the Oscilloscope acquires the waveform and its adjacent section, and then presents it on the screen.

  • Page 25: Common

    6.5.1 COMMON Common sets the sweep mode. The sweep mode determines how the Oscilloscope behaves in the absence of a trigger event. The Oscilloscope provides two trigger modes: Auto, Normal. Auto: • Allows the Oscilloscope to acquire waveforms even when it does not detect a trigger condition.

  • Page 26: Pulse Width

    Noise Rejection: • Rejects high frequency noise when selected. • In this mode, the user can set the trigger level by directly dragging the Level scroll bar or the icon on the right side of the waveform display area. 6.5.3 PULSE WIDTH Pulse Width determines whether the Oscilloscope finds the trigger point on the rising/falling/dual edge of a signal.
