4.1 Oscilloscope Mode
In Oscilloscope mode, the device displays real-time waveforms, allowing for detailed analysis of electrical signals.
- Selecting Channels: Press the CH1/2 key to toggle between Channel 1 and Channel 2, or to display both simultaneously.
- Auto Setting: Press the Auto key for automatic adjustment of vertical and horizontal scales and trigger settings to display a stable waveform. This is useful for quick signal acquisition.
- Manual Adjustments: Use the navigation keys to adjust vertical sensitivity (Volts/Div), horizontal time base (Sec/Div), and trigger level.
- Measurements: Press the Measure key to access automatic measurement functions. The device supports 7 types of automatic measurements (e.g., Vpp, Vmax, Vmin, Freq, Period, Duty Cycle).
- Run/Stop: Press the Run/Stop key to pause or resume waveform acquisition.
4.2 Multimeter Mode
In Multimeter mode, the device functions as a digital multimeter for measuring voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, and continuity.
- Function Selection: Use the navigation keys or dedicated function keys (if available) to select the desired measurement function (e.g., DC Voltage, AC Voltage, Resistance).
- Auto Ranging: The Auto key can be used to enable or disable auto-ranging for most measurements.
- Connecting Leads: Connect the test leads to the appropriate input jacks for the selected measurement.
- Reading Measurements: The measurement value will be displayed on the screen.
4.3 Signal Generator Mode
The built-in signal generator can output various waveforms for testing circuits.
- Waveform Selection: Select the desired waveform type (e.g., Sine, Square, Triangle) from the menu.
- Parameter Adjustment: Adjust parameters such as frequency, amplitude, and offset using the navigation keys.
- Output Connection: Connect the output of the signal generator (GEN Out) to the circuit under test.
4.4 PC Connection
