3. Setup
3.1 Powering On/Off
- Charging the Battery: Connect the power adapter to the device and a power outlet. The battery indicator will show charging status. Ensure the battery is sufficiently charged before portable use.
- Power On: Press and hold the POWER button located on the side or front panel until the screen illuminates.
- Power Off: Press and hold the POWER button until the shutdown prompt appears, then confirm.
3.2 Initial Configuration
Upon first power-on or after a factory reset, you may need to configure basic settings such as language, date, and time. Navigate through the menus using the directional buttons and confirm selections with the ENTER button.
4. Operating Instructions
The Hantek DSO8072E offers multiple operational modes. Use the dedicated function buttons (e.g., SCOPE/RECORDER, DMM, SPECTRUM) to switch between modes.
4.1 Oscilloscope Mode
This mode is used for observing and analyzing electrical signals. Connect probes to the BNC inputs (CH1, CH2).
- Press the SCOPE/RECORDER button to enter Oscilloscope mode.
- Adjust vertical sensitivity (Volts/Div) using the CH1/CH2 knobs or corresponding menu options.
- Adjust horizontal time base (Sec/Div) using the HORI knob.
- Configure trigger settings (Type, Source, Level) using the TRIG button and menu.
- Use AUTORANGE for automatic scaling or RUN/STOP to pause/resume waveform acquisition.
- Access measurement functions (e.g., Vpp, Freq, RMS) via the MEAS button.

4.2 Recorder Mode
Record long-term signal changes. Press SCOPE/RECORDER and select Recorder from the menu.
4.3 Digital Multimeter (DMM) Mode
For measuring voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, and performing diode/continuity tests. Connect test leads to the DMM input jacks (VΩmA, COM).
- Press the DMM button.
- Select the desired measurement function (e.g., DCV, ACV, Resistance) using the menu buttons.
- Connect the test leads to the circuit under test.
4.4 Spectrum Analyzer Mode
Analyze the frequency components of a signal. Press the SPECTRUM button.
4.5 Frequency Counter Mode
Measure the frequency of input signals. This function is often integrated within the oscilloscope or DMM modes, or accessible via a dedicated menu option.
4.6 Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) Mode
Generate various standard and custom waveforms. Connect the AWG output to the circuit requiring a signal input.
- Press the AWG button (if available) or navigate through the Utility menu.
- Select waveform type (Sine, Square, Triangle, etc.) and adjust parameters (Frequency, Amplitude, Offset).
- Enable output.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
Wipe the device with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the device is powered off and disconnected from all power sources before cleaning.
