Oscilloscope Inspection
- Set the Switch in the Oscilloscope Probe as 10X and Connect the Oscilloscope with CH1 Channel.
Align the slot in the probe with the plug in the CH1 connector BNC, and then tighten the probe with rotating it to the right side.
Connect the probe tip and the ground clamp to the connector of the probe compensator. - Perform AutoSet.
The square wave of 1 kHz frequency and about 3.3V peak-peak value will be displayed in several seconds (see Figure 3-4). Check CH2, CH3 and CH4 by repeating Step 2 and Step 3.
How To Implement The Probe Compensation
When connect the probe with any input channel for the first time, make this adjustment to match the probe with the input channel. The probe which is not compensated or presents a compensation deviation will result in the measuring error or mistake. For adjusting the probe compensation, please carry out the following steps:
- Set the attenuation coefficient of the probe in the menu as 10X and that of the switch in the probe as 10X (see “How to Implement the Probe Compensation” on P14), and connect the probe with the CH1 channel. If a probe hook tip is used, ensure that it keeps in close touch with the probe. Connect the probe tip with the signal connector of the probe compensator and connect the reference wire clamp with the ground wire connector of the probe connector, and then push the Autoset button on the front panel.
- Check the displayed waveforms, see Figure 3-5. Regulate the probe till a correct compensation is achieved, see Figure 3-6.
Figure 3-5: Displayed Waveforms of the Probe Compensation
- Repeat the steps mentioned if needed.
How To Set The Probe Attenuation Coefficient
- The probe has several attenuation coefficients, which will influence the vertical scale factor of the oscilloscope.
To change or check the probe attenuation coefficient in the menu of oscilloscope:
- Click the channel information display bar on the bottom left of the screen (CH1 Channel, CH2 Channel, CH3 Channel or CH4 Channel).
- Select Probe Attenu (1X,10X or other custom probe magnifications) in the displayed channel setting window. The setting will remain in effect until changed again after selection.
Caution:
- The default attenuation coefficient of the probe on the instrument is preset to 10X.
- Make sure that the set value of the attenuation switch in the probe is the same as the menu selection of the probe attenuation coefficient in the oscilloscope.
The set values of the probe switch are 1X and 10X,see Figure 3-7.
Caution:
When the attenuation switch is set to 1X, the probe will limit the bandwidth of the oscilloscope in 5MHz. To use the full bandwidth of the oscilloscope, the switch must be set to 10X.
How To Use The Probe Safely
The safety guard ring around the probe body protects your finger against any electric shock, see Figure 3-8.
Warning:
- To avoid electric shock, always keep your finger behind the safety guard ring of the probe during the operation.
- To protect you from suffering from the electric shock, do not touch any metal part of the probe tip when it is connected to the power supply.
- Before making any measurements, always connect the probe to the instrument and connect the ground terminal to the earth.
How To Conduct Self-Calibration
- Self-calibration program is used to quickly make the oscilloscope be in the optimum condition to obtain the most accurate measurement. This program can be performed at any time. It is especially necessary when the ambient temperature reaches or exceeds 5℃.
- To conduct self-calibration, disconnect all probes and wires from the input connector. Then, click “
” in the lower right of the screen,select Self-Calibration from the menu displayed and click Start in the self-calibration display box.

Use the Oscilloscope
A General Knowledge Of Trigger System
As shown in Figure 5-1, there are one knob and one key. The following exercises are to guide you through the use of the trigger system.
- Use Trigger Level knob to change the settings of the trigger level. Rotary the Trigger Level knob, the trigger pointer on the screen moves up and down as the knob turns. While moving the trigger pointer, the value of the trigger level on the screen changes accordingly.
Note: Turning the Trigger Level knob can not only change the trigger level value, but also set the shortcut key of the trigger level at the vertical midpoint of the trigger signal amplitude. - Press Force key to generate a trigger signal forcibly, mainly used in the “Normal” and “Single” trigger mode.
A General Knowledge Of AFG System
As shown in Figure 5-2, there is one key. The following exercises are to guide you through the use of the AFG system.
- Press ON/OFF key to enable/disable the AFG function. Open the key light on, close the key light off.
A General Knowledge Of Horizontal System
As shown in Figure 5-3,there are two knobs.The following exercises to guide you through the use of the horizontal system.
Rotary Horizontal Position knob to adjust the horizontal position of the signal in the waveform window.
The Horizontal Position knob is to control the triggered horizontal position of the signal; when turning the knob, the waveform moves horizontally with the knob. When pressing the Horizontal Position key, the horizontal displacement can be zero.- Rotary the Horizontal Scale knob to change the settings of the horizontal time base and thus observe the resulting change of the status information, then the corresponding Horizontal Time Base in the status bar changes accordingly. Press the Horizontal Scale knob enter or exit waveform zoom mode.
A General Knowledge Of Vertical System
As shown in Figure 5-4, there are seven keys and two knobs. The following exercises are to guide you through the use of the vertical system.
- Vertical Position knob to control the vertical display position of the signal. When turning the Vertical Position knob, the pointer indicating the Grounding Reference Point of the channel moves up and down following the waveform.
- When pressing the Vertical Vertical key, the vertical position can be zero.
- Measuring Skills
- If the DC coupling mode is adopted for the channel, observe the gap between the waveform and the signal ground to quickly measure the DC component of the signal.
- If the AC coupling mode is adopted for the channel, the DC component of the signal is filtered out, facilitating you to display the AC component of the signal with higher sensitivity.
- If the Ground coupling mode is adopted for the channel, indicates that the internal input is grounded and the external input is disconnected. It can effectively reduce the influence of external interference on the measurement results and ensure the accuracy of the measurement.
- Change the vertical settings and observe the resulting status change. You can determine the change of the vertical scale factor of any channel through the information displayed in the information display bar at the lower part of the waveform window.
- Turn the Vertical Scale knob to change the Vertical Scale Factor (Voltage Scale), and the scale factor of corresponding channel in the information display bar changes accordingly.
- Press CH1、CH2、CH3、CH4 key to enable or disable the corresponding channel.
- If the current channel is disable, press it to enable and select the channel;
- If the current channel is enable but no selected, press it to select the channel;
- If the current channel is enable and selected, press it to disable the channel.
- Press Math key to enable/disable waveform math function; press Ref key to enable/disable reference waveform function; Press LA key to enable/disable LA function.
