3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Power On/Off

To power on the device, press and hold the power button (usually marked with a circle and a vertical line) until the screen illuminates. To power off, press and hold the same button until the device shuts down.

3.2 Mode Selection

The device offers three primary modes: Oscilloscope, Multimeter, and DDS Generator. Use the dedicated MODE button to cycle through these functions. The current mode will be displayed on the screen.

3.3 Oscilloscope Function

In Oscilloscope mode, the device displays waveforms for electrical signals. It features dual channels with a 25MHz bandwidth and a 208MSa/s real-time sample rate.

• Connecting Probes: Connect the oscilloscope probe to the appropriate channel input (CH1 or CH2) on the top of the device. Ensure a secure connection.
• Adjusting Settings: Use the navigation buttons to adjust vertical sensitivity (V/div), time base (s/div), and trigger settings. The AUTO button can be used for automatic waveform adjustment and display.
• Measurements: The screen will display various waveform parameters such as Vpp (peak-to-peak voltage), Vmax, Vmin, Vavg, Vrms, frequency, and duty cycle.

3.4 Multimeter Function

In Multimeter mode, the device performs various electrical measurements with 6000 counts display and True RMS capability.

• Connecting Test Leads: Connect the red and black test leads to the appropriate input jacks (e.g., VΩmA for voltage/resistance/current, COM for common ground).
• Measurement Types: The multimeter can measure:
  • DC Voltage: Up to 1000V
  • AC Voltage: Up to 750V
  • DC Current: Up to 600mA
  • AC Current: Up to 600mA (or up to 6000A with optional flexible AC current clamp)
  • Resistance: Up to 60MΩ
  • Capacitance: Up to 99.99mF
  • Temperature: -20℃ to 1000℃ / -4℉ to 1832℉ (using thermocouple)
  • Diode Test
  • Continuity Test
• Range Selection: The device typically operates in auto-ranging mode, but manual range selection may be available via the controls.

3.5 DDS Generator Function

The DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis) Generator function allows you to output various waveforms for testing circuits.

• Connecting Output: Connect the DDS output port to your circuit using appropriate cables.
• Waveform Types: Select from sine wave, square wave, triangle wave, full wave, half wave, and sawtooth wave.
• Adjusting Parameters: Adjust the frequency (0-2MHz) and output amplitude (0.1-3V) using the device controls. For square waves, the duty cycle (1%-99%) can also be adjusted.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Battery Charging

The device is equipped with a 5000mAh rechargeable Li-ion battery. Use the provided charging cable to connect the device to a suitable USB power source. The battery indicator on the screen will show the charging status.

4.2 Cleaning and Storage

To clean the device, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Store the device in its carrying case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your device, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Device not powering on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the device to a charger and attempt to power on again.
• Incorrect readings: Check that probes and test leads are correctly connected and not damaged. Verify that the correct measurement mode and range are selected.
• No waveform display: In oscilloscope mode, ensure the input signal is within the device's measurement range and that the trigger settings are appropriate. Use the AUTO button to attempt automatic adjustment.
