General Check
When you have got a new DSO1000 series scope meter, it is suggested that you
should perform a general inspection on the instrument according to the following steps:
■ Check the shipping container for damage:
Keep the damaged shipping container or cushioning material until the contents of the
shipment have been checked for completeness and the instrument has been checked
mechanically and electrically.
■ Check the accessories:
Accessories supplied with the instrument are listed in "Accessories" in this guide. If the
contents are incomplete or damaged,please notify our distributor at your local area or
the overseas sales dept.
■ Check the instrument:
In case there is any mechanical damage or defect, or the instrument does not operate
properly or fails performance tests, please notify our distributor at your local area or the
overseas sales dept.
User's Interface
The first thing to do with a new scope meter is to know its front panel. This chapter
helps to be familiar with the layout of the keys and how to use them. Read this chapter
carefully before further operations.
Front Panel (Figure 1-1):
The buttons not only allow you to use some of the functions directly but also bring
up the manual keys on the screen, which enable the access to many measurement
features associated with advanced functions, mathematics, and reference or to run
control features.
