4. Setup

4.1 Initial Power-On

1. Connect the power cord to the oscilloscope and a suitable power outlet.
2. Press the Oscilloscope Switch (power button) to turn on the device.
3. Allow the device to complete its startup sequence.

4.2 Probe Connection and Compensation

Before taking measurements, ensure your probes are correctly connected and compensated for accurate readings.

1. Connect the oscilloscope probe to the desired input channel (CH1 or CH2).
2. Connect the probe tip to the Probe Compensation terminal and the ground clip to the ground terminal.
3. Press the AutoSet button. The oscilloscope will automatically adjust settings to display a stable square wave.
4. Adjust the compensation screw on the probe until the square wave displayed on the screen has flat top and bottom edges without overshoot or undershoot.

5. Operating Instructions

This section details the primary functions and operations of the Kiprim DS1202 oscilloscope.

5.1 Basic Waveform Display

After probe compensation, connect the probe to the circuit you wish to test. The oscilloscope will display the waveform. Use the Vertical Scale and Horizontal Scale knobs to adjust the waveform's amplitude and time base, respectively. The Position knobs allow you to move the waveform vertically or horizontally on the screen.

5.2 Trigger Settings

The trigger system stabilizes repetitive waveforms and captures single-shot events. Press the Trigger button to access trigger settings.

• Type: Select Edge or Video trigger.
• Source: Choose the input channel (CH1, CH2, EXT).
• Mode: Select Auto, Normal, or Single.
• Adjust the trigger level using the dedicated knob to set the voltage point at which the trigger occurs.

5.3 Automatic Measurements

The DS1202 offers 30 automatic measurement functions for quick analysis of waveform parameters.

1. Press the Measure button.
2. Use the menu options to select the desired measurement parameters (e.g., Frequency, Period, Vpp, Vmax, Vmin).
3. The selected measurements will be displayed on the screen.

5.4 Mathematical Operations (FFT)

The oscilloscope can perform mathematical operations on waveforms, including FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) for frequency domain analysis.

1. Press the Math button.
2. Select the desired operation (Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide, FFT).
3. Configure the source channels and other parameters as needed.

5.5 Waveform Storage and Recall

The DS1202 can store up to 16 groups of waveforms and supports U-disk storage for extended data logging.

• Safety: Always disconnect the power before cleaning or performing any maintenance. Do not attempt to open the device casing, as this may void the warranty and expose you to electrical hazards.

8. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Kiprim DS1202 oscilloscope.

8.1 No Display After Power On

• Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the oscilloscope and the power outlet.
• Verify that the power outlet is functional.
• Check the power switch is in the 'ON' position.

8.2 Unstable Waveform

• Adjust the Trigger Level to a suitable point on the waveform.
• Check the Trigger Mode (Auto, Normal, Single) and select the appropriate one for your signal.
• Ensure the probe compensation is correctly adjusted (refer to Section 4.2).
• Verify that the probe is securely connected to the input channel and the ground clip is attached to the circuit's ground.

8.3 No Signal Detected

• Confirm the probe is properly connected to the signal source.
• Check the Vertical Scale setting; the signal might be too small to be visible.
• Press the AutoSet button to allow the oscilloscope to automatically find and display the signal.
• Ensure the input coupling (AC/DC/GND) is set correctly for your signal.
