8.2 Self-Calibration
The device features a self-calibration function to maintain accuracy. Refer to the on-screen menu in System Settings for initiating calibration.
9. Troubleshooting
- Inaccurate Readings: Ensure probe magnification settings (1X/10X) on both the probe and the device match. Select the correct coupling mode (DC for DC signals, AC for AC signals).
- Unstable Waveform: Verify proper grounding of the probe. Adjust the trigger level to approximately 50% of the signal amplitude. Switch the trigger mode to Normal or Single for non-periodic signals.
- Waveform Not Displayed/Appears in Corner: Adjust the time base and vertical sensitivity settings. Fine-tune the trigger level. For low-frequency signals (below 45Hz), manual adjustment of frequency may be required as auto-calibration might not be effective.
- Device Not Responding: Check battery level. If fully charged, try a factory reset via System Settings (note: this will erase all previous settings).
