- ROLL Mode: For observing slow-changing signals.
It supports 10 parameter measurements including Frequency (FREQ), Peak-to-Peak Voltage (Vp-pAVG), Root Mean Square (RMS), Duty Cycle (DUTY), Maximum, Minimum, Average, Amplitude, and Pulse Width.
5.3 Data Recording and Analysis
The device features 8M x 5 channel storage, allowing the computer software to record waveform data for up to 90 hours. This is ideal for long-term monitoring and detailed analysis of periodic signals.
5.4 Signal Output
The oscilloscope can output a 1KHz signal, useful for testing and calibration purposes.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
- Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the casing or screen.
- Keep the input ports free from dust and debris.

The oscilloscope is equipped with a removable 3.7V/18650/2000mAH battery.
- Charge the battery regularly, even if the device is not in use, to maintain battery health.
- Avoid fully discharging the battery for extended periods.
- If the device will not be used for a long time, store it with a partial charge (around 50%).
6.3 Storage
Store the oscilloscope in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. Use the original packaging or a protective case to prevent physical damage.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | Low or depleted battery. Device malfunction. | Charge the device for at least 30 minutes. If still unresponsive, try pressing the RESET button. |
| No waveform displayed. | Probes not connected correctly. Input signal too weak or out of range. Incorrect settings. | Check probe connections. Adjust voltage range and time base settings. Ensure a signal is present at the probe tip. |
| Unstable or noisy waveform. | Poor probe connection. External interference. Incorrect trigger settings. | Ensure probes are securely connected. Use proper grounding. Adjust trigger level and type (Rising Edge/Falling Edge). |
| WiFi connection issues (WiFi version). | Incorrect WiFi password. Out of range. Router issues. | Verify WiFi password. Move closer to the router. Restart the oscilloscope and router. Ensure the correct WiFi band (2.4G or 5G) is selected. |
| PC software not detecting device. | USB cable issue. Driver not installed. | Try a different USB port or cable. Ensure the necessary drivers for the oscilloscope are installed on your computer. |
