4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Basic Oscilloscope Functions
The DSO2D15 features 2 independent channels, 150MHz bandwidth, 1GSa/s real-time sample rate, and 8M memory depth. Vertical range is 2mV/div to 10V/div with 8-bit vertical resolution.
- Channel Control: Each channel (CH1, CH2) has independent knobs for vertical position and volts/div settings.
- Horizontal Control: Use the horizontal position and sec/div knobs to adjust the time base.
- Trigger System: Supports various trigger types including Edge, Pulse width, Video, Slope, Overtime, Window, Pattern, Interval, Delay, UART, LIN, CAN, SPI, IIC.
- Measurements: Offers 32 kinds of auto measurements with statistics (maximum, minimum, standard deviation, etc.). Includes 5-bit digital voltage meter and 6-bit hardware frequency indicator.
- Data Saving: Can save data in multiple formats: setting, waveform, reference waveform, CSV, and picture.
4.2 Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG)
The DSO2D15 includes a built-in 1-channel 25MHz arbitrary waveform generator with a 200MSa/s sample rate and 12-bit vertical resolution.
- Waveform Generation: Generate standard waveforms (sine, square, ramp, pulse) and custom arbitrary waveforms.
- Frequency & Amplitude: Adjust output frequency up to 25MHz and amplitude as needed.
4.3 Advanced Features
- Protocol Analysis: Supports CAN decode and protocol analysis for RS232/UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, LIN.
- Threshold Testing: Allows for free measurements within the screen and supports threshold testing.
- FFT Analysis: Perform Fast Fourier Transform analysis for frequency domain measurements.
- Remote Control: Abundant SCPI remote command control for automation.
- External Interface: USB Host/Device for data transfer and connectivity.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the oscilloscope. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with mild detergent can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Probe Care: Handle probes carefully. Avoid bending or stressing the probe tips. Store probes properly to prevent damage.
- Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation openings on the device are not blocked to prevent overheating.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the oscilloscope in a dry, dust-free environment.
6. Troubleshooting
- No Power: Check the power cord connection and the power outlet. Ensure the power button is pressed.
- No Signal Display: Verify probe connections to both the oscilloscope and the circuit under test. Check the channel input settings (e.g., AC/DC coupling, vertical scale). Ensure the trigger level is set correctly.
- Distorted Waveform: Check probe compensation. Ensure the probe attenuation setting matches the oscilloscope's setting. Verify the input signal is within the oscilloscope's voltage limits.
- AWG Output Issues: Confirm the AWG function is enabled and the correct waveform parameters are set. Check the connection of the BNC to crocodile clip test lines.
