Main Features

1. Quick Guide

This chapter introduces the first-time use of the MSO7000X series oscilloscope, including front and rear panels, user interface, and touch screen functions.

1.1 General Inspection

Before first use, perform the following checks:

1.2 Before Use

  1. Connecting to Power Supply: Use the attached power cable (100VAC-240VAC, 50Hz-60Hz). Ensure the rear panel power switch is ON. The soft power indicator will illuminate orange. Press the soft switch key to enable the oscilloscope.
  2. Boot Check: Press the soft power key; the indicator should turn blue. A boot animation will appear, followed by the normal interface.
  3. Connecting Probe: Connect the probe to the oscilloscope's C1 port using BNC. Connect the probe's ground clip to the ground terminal. The probe compensation signal output is approximately 3Vpp at 1kHz.
  4. Function Check: Press the Autoset key. A 3Vpp, 1kHz square wave should appear. Repeat for all channels. If the waveform is incorrect, proceed to Probe Compensation.
  5. Probe Compensation:
    • Set probe attenuation to 10x.
    • Connect the probe to the probe compensation signal connection clip and the ground clip to the ground terminal.
    • Open C1 and press Autoset.
    • Adjust the probe's variable capacitance with a non-metallic screwdriver until the waveform matches the correct compensation display (avoiding insufficient or excessive compensation).

Interface Element Descriptions:

1.8 Touch Screen

The MSO7000X features a 15.6-inch capacitive touch screen with multi-point and gesture control. Supported gestures include tap, squeeze, and drag for intuitive operation.

1.9 Virtual Keyboard

The virtual keyboard is used for inputting text and characters. It features a traditional 26-key layout with Caps, Shift, Space, Confirm, and Cancel keys. An input display area shows entered characters.

1.10 Numeric Keyboard

The numeric keyboard has a traditional 9-key layout for inputting values and units. The input area displays the numeric value and unit. Units vary depending on the function. Includes a retreat number key and +/- for positive/negative values.

2 Vertical System

This section covers the setup of the vertical system for analog channels (C1-C4), including channel activation, coupling, bandwidth limit, vertical scale, position, offset, units, phase reversal, tabs, probe multiplying power, multi-channel display, and setting channel delay.

2.1 Open/Activate/Close Analog Channel

Analog channels can be in selected, open (but not selected), or off states. Panel operation involves pressing channel keys; touch-control operation involves touching the channel status block.

2.2 Channel Coupling

Channel coupling can be set to DC1M, DC50, AC1M, or Ground in the channel menu.

2.3 Bandwidth Limit

Bandwidth limit can be set to full bandwidth, 20MHz, 500MHz, or 1GHz depending on the impedance setting (1M or 50M). This reduces high-frequency noise.

2.4 Vertical Scale

Vertical scale ranges from 1mV/div to 10V/div (1M impedance) or 1mV/div to 1V/div (50M impedance), with 1-2-5 steps. Adjustment can be done via panel knob, touch gestures (squeeze), or numeric keypad input.

2.5 Vertical Position

Adjusts the vertical position of the waveform without changing its voltage value. Adjustment methods include panel knob, touch gesture drag, or numeric keypad input. The position cannot exceed ±1.5div from the center.

2.6 Offset Voltage

Sets the voltage offset for the current channel. The channel voltage and waveform will move accordingly. Can be set to 0mV.

2.7 Standalone window

When multiple analog channels are open, this feature displays each channel in a separate window with independent horizontal and vertical scales. Window layout can be adjusted by dragging.

2.8 Reversed Phase

Reverses the waveform voltage. The reversed icon appears in the vertical state when enabled.

2.9 Tab

Allows customization of channel labels using a soft keyboard for easier identification of waveforms.

2.10 Probe Multiplying Power

Sets the probe attenuation coefficient (e.g., 1X, 10X, 100X, custom) to match the probe for accurate voltage measurements. The oscilloscope may automatically recognize the probe attenuation if it has a detection pin.

2.11 Spare Units

Allows custom input of alternate units for waveforms, affecting vertical scale and offset voltage displays. Unit conversion ratios can also be set.

2.12 Setting channel delay

Calibrates channel delay to ensure phase consistency, minimizing errors caused by probe cable transmission delay. Minimum step is 100ps, adjustable up to ±800ps. Valid for time base ranges of 50ns/div or lower.

2.13 Channel Copy

Copies settings (coupling, bandwidth limit, offset) from one channel to others with a single click.

3. Horizontal System

Covers horizontal scale, horizontal delay, and roll mode.

3.1 Horizontal Scale

Adjusts the time base (time per division) using the panel knob, touch control, or squeeze gesture. The scale changes in 1-2-5 steps.

3.2 Horizontal Delay

Adjusts the horizontal shift of the trigger point relative to the screen center using the panel knob, touch control, or drag gesture. Positive values shift left, negative values shift right.

3.3 Roll Mode

When the trigger mode is Auto and the horizontal scale is ≤ 50ms/div, the oscilloscope enters ROLL mode, continuously scrolling waveforms from right to left. Recommended to use DC coupling for low-frequency signals.

4. Sampling System

Discusses sampling rate, acquisition modes, storage depth, and ERes.

4.1 Sampling Rate

Defines sampling as converting analog signals to digital data. Sampling rate is the time interval between samples. Maximum rate is 10GSa/s (single channel), decreasing with more active channels. Low sampling rates can cause waveform distortion, aliasing, or missing pulses.

4.2 Acquisition Mode

Available modes:

4.3 Storage Depth

The number of waveform points stored per acquisition. Maximum storage depth is 1Gpts (single channel), 500Mpts (dual channel), 250Mpts (four channels). Formula: Storage depth = sampling rate × horizontal time base × horizontal grid count.

4.4 ERes

ERes (Enhanced Resolution) improves signal resolution and signal-to-noise ratio by filtering. It can be set to enhance resolution by 0.5 to 3 bits.

5. Trigger System

Covers trigger system nouns, edge, pulse width, video, slope, runt pulse, delay, timeout, duration, setup & hold, N-th edge, pattern, bus, and zone triggers.

5.1 Noun of Trigger System

Trigger: Sets conditions to capture specific waveform events for stable display.

Trigger Source: Analog channels (C1-C4), digital channels (D0-D15), EXT, EXT5, AC, Aux In.

Trigger Mode:

Pre-trigger/Delay Trigger: Observes data before or after a trigger event.

Force Trigger: Forces a trigger signal.

Trigger Holdoff: Waits for a specified time before restarting the trigger circuit to stabilize complex waveforms.

5.2 Edge Trigger

Triggers on rising, falling, or random edges of a signal based on specified level.

5.3 Pulse Width Trigger

Triggers on positive or negative pulses with a specified pulse width condition (greater than, less than, or within a range).

5.4 Video Trigger

5.5 Slope Trigger

Triggers when the signal's slope (rising or falling) meets specified duration and level conditions.

5.6 Runt Pulse Trigger

Triggers on pulses that cross one trigger level but not the other (positive or negative runt pulses).

5.7 Delay Trigger

Triggers based on the time difference between edges of two specified trigger sources.

5.8 Timeout Trigger

Triggers when the time interval between signal edges exceeds a set duration.

5.9 Duration Trigger

Triggers when the duration of a specified code pattern meets a preset time condition.

5.10 Setup & Hold Trigger

Triggers when setup or hold times between data and clock signals deviate from preset values.

5.11 N-th Edge

Triggers on the N-th edge after a specified idle time.

5.12 Pattern

Triggers on a specific pattern of logic levels (High, Low, Random) or edges across multiple channels.
