PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

This instrument and its accessories comply with safety standards EN61010-1, EN61010-031, and EN61010-2-032, at voltages that depend on the accessories (600V CAT III with respect to earth whatever the accessory) at an altitude of less than 6500’ (2,000m), indoors, with a degree of pollution ≤2.

Failure to observe the safety instructions may result in electric shock, fire, explosion, and destruction of the instrument and of the installations.

The operator and/or the responsible authority must carefully read and clearly understand the various precautions to be taken in use. Sound knowledge and a keen awareness of electrical hazards are essential when using this instrument.

If you use this instrument other than as specified, the protection it provides may be compromised, thereby endangering you.

Do not use your instrument on networks of which the voltage or category exceeds those stated. Do not use the instrument if it seems to be damaged, incomplete, or poorly close. Before each use, check the condition of the insulation on the leads, housing, and accessories. Any item of which the

insulation is deteriorated (even partially) must be set aside for repair or scrapping. Use only the leads and accessories supplied. The use of leads (or accessories) of a lower voltage rating or category

limits the use of the combined instrument + leads (or accessories) to the lowest category and service voltage. Use personal protection equipment systematically. When handling the leads, test probes, and crocodile clips, keep your fingers behind the physical guard. All troubleshooting and metrological checks must be done by competent, accredited personnel.

1.4.2. Charging the battery

Long life between charges with limited bulk and weight

No memory effect: you can recharge the battery even if it is not fully discharged without reducing its capacity

Very low self-discharge

Rapid recharging

Protection of the environment, ensured by the absence of polluting materials such as lead

Before first use, fully charge the battery. Perform the charging between 32 and 113°F (0 and 45°C). The instrument is designed to operate with the charger connected. The charger includes two elements: a power supply and a charger. The charger simultaneously manages the charging current, the battery voltage, and the battery's internal temperature. This optimizes charging while ensuring long battery life.

Before using instrument,

check its charge level

Charger LED orange and blinking: no battery or battery being charged. The LED appears green at the end of charging.

Battery level indicator displays fewer than three bars: start charging the instrument. Charging typically takes about five hours. After prolonged storage, the battery may be completely discharged. In this case, the first charge may take longer. If the instrument is not likely to be used for more than two months, remove the battery. To maintain its capacity, recharge it every 4 to 6 months.

Only use the charger provided with your instrument. Using another charger may be

dangerous!

Charge your instrument only between 32 and 113°F (0 and 45°C).

Observe the conditions of use and storage stated in this user manual.

If the instrument will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery and store it at room temperature.

The charger is common to several Chauvin Arnoux instruments; the label of the PA40W2 power supply bears the CHAUVIN ARNOUX logo.

This PA40W-2 charger is compatible with the ScopiX. A set of labels is provided, for “personalizing”

1.5. Isolation of the channels



ScopiX has 2 or 4 channels that are isolated from each other and from earth (600V CAT III):

ScopiX electrical dagram:

General

Frame grounds

isolation

Making measurements in systems where the circuits may be at different potentials can be very dangerous, due to short-circuits via the instrument or from the potentials themselves.

The digital isolation of the grounds uses the same input terminals and acquisition systems for the oscilloscope and multimeter modes, making it possible to change from one instrument to the other without changing the measurement connection.

Since the 3 channels are isolated from each other, you can safely set up one or two channels with a voltage-to-ground output and the other channel(s) with low current or voltage input.

Probix accessories provide continuous information about the limits of the instrument (insulation voltage, rated maximum voltage).

1.6. Probix accessories

1.6.1. Probix

ScopiX uses Probix intelligent probes and sensors, which are recognized automatically when connected. When a probe or sensor is connected to the oscilloscope, a safety message about the probe/sensor indicates:

maximum input voltage as a function of the category maximum voltage with respect to earth as a function

of the category

maximum voltage between channels as a function

of the category

sensor/probe type elementary specifications suitable safety leads

For the safety of both you and the instrument, read and carefully follow this information.

The trace color of the signal measured with a given accessory is set in the menu: "Green"  "chX"  "Probix". An interchangeable elastic or plastic ring is used to associate the color of the probe and the color of the trace. Scaling and units are configured automatically by the Probix system, allowing rapid measurements with no risk of error.

1.6.2. Rapid, error-free measurements

The Probix system ensures rapid and error-free setting up of the instrument, which is essential for instruments used for troubleshooting. Standard BNC accessories and banana cables can be connected using the safety adapters provided. An interchangeable plastic ring is used to match the color of the accessory to its channel. The power supply for the sensors is provided by the oscilloscope.

Automatic optimum adjustment of the AUTOSET of the channels to which a signal is applied.

The adjustments are:

coupling vertical sensitivity time base slope positions triggering

The signal having the lowest frequency is used as triggering source. If no trace is detected on the inputs, autoset is aborted.

A simultaneous press on + assigns the corresponding channel as triggering source.

4.1.4 MEASURE adjustment

Activates/deactivates window that displays the 20 automatic measurements of the reference trace.

 By default, cursors are

activated with automatic measurements.

Activates the 20 automatic measurements of the 4 traces with displacement by "scrolling".

Selects, from among displayed traces, the reference trace for automatic and manual measurements. The reference channel is identified by a circle in the color of the channel in the CHx or Fx zone.

Activates/deactivates display cursors used for manual measurements.

In automatic measurement mode, cursors cannot be deactivated.

The vertical and horizontal cursors can be moved on the touch pad via the stylus.

The measurements made in position T (period), "dt" (time difference between the two cursors), 1/dt (difference as a frequency, in Hz) and "dv" (voltage difference between the 2 cursors) are reported in the status area. A phase cursor Ph (in °) displays a value for the angle between T and the reference.

4.1.5 HORIZONTAL time base adjustment

a) from the keypad

Increases/decreases the coefficient of the time base by successive presses (T/DIV).

After a Zoom, the "Z-Pos." adjustment modifies the position of the screen in the acquisition memory (upper part of the screen).

Activates/ deactivates the horizontal "Zoom" function

A waveform screen is displayed at the top of the screen, with the zoomed portion in the main display area.

By default, the zoom is around samples at the center of the screen, but the display area can be moved.

A display area can be zoomed by tracing a rectangle around the area to be enlarged using the stylus on the touch pad.

The sensitivity values, time base, and horizontal and vertical positions are recalculated automatically.

Increased time resolution of a trace for a periodic signal. When this option is checked, the signal can be averaged.

For time bases finer than 100µs/div. (without active zoom mode), the signal displayed is reconstituted from several acquisitions. The time resolution can be as fine as 40ps.

If the signal is not repetitive, do not use this option. The time resolution will then be ±1ns.

Note that if this choice is checked, signal reconstruction can take an extended time.

The following parameters influence this time:

time base frequency of recurrence of the trigger activity of the Averaging mode

During this reconstruction, the signal must be stable (amplitude, frequency, waveform). To speed up the reconstruction following a change in the signal, stop the acquisition, then restart: Stop/Run.

Selects a coefficient to calculate an average on the displayed samples (for example to attenuate random noise in a signal). For the averaging coefficient to be taken into account in the representation of the signal, the "Repetitive signal" option must be selected. The calculation is performed using the following formula: Pixel N = Sample*1/Averaging rate + Pixel N-1 (1-1/Averaging rate):

Sample Value of the new sample acquired at abscissa t Pixel N Ordinate of the pixel at abscissa t on the screen,

at instant N

Pixel N-1 Ordinate of the pixel at abscissa t on the screen,

at instant N-1

on the screen are displayed. Use this mode to display a variation in time or of amplitude, or a modulation.

The whole of the acquisition (100,000 samples) is displayed on the screen and a vector is plotted between samples. Use this mode to display all details of the acquisition. This function can be used on a memory or on a graph already acquired.

2. Y(f) = FFT (Fast Fourier Transform)

Displays extreme values of the signal, acquired between two samples of the acquisition memory. This mode:

detects a false representation due to undersampling displays short-duration events (Glitch, ≤2ns).

Whatever time base is used, with its corresponding sampling rate, events having a short duration (Glitch, ≤2ns) are displayed.

ROLL: Automatic on time base > 100ms, single In single-shot mode, if the time base exceeds 100ms/div, the new samples are displayed as soon as they are acquired. In addition, ROLL mode is activated when acquisition memory is full (scrolling of the trace from right to left on the screen).

In triggered mode, save/retrieve can be used to record acquisitions in .trc format to the "Traces" directory. This lets you store several rare events in the file system and analyze them later.

Fast Fourier Transform

calculation

The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is used to calculate the discrete representation of a signal in the frequency domain from its discrete representation in the time domain. It is calculated on 2500 points. It can be used in the following applications:

Before calculating the FFT, the oscilloscope weights the signal to be analyzed by a window that acts as a bandpass filter. The choice of window type is essential to distinguish the different spikes of a signal and make accurate measurements.

The total duration of the study interval results in a convolution in the frequency domain of the signal with a function sinx/x. This convolution modifies the graphic representation of the FFT because of the c

Effects of undersampling on the frequency representation:

If the sampling frequency is too low (less than twice the cutoff frequency of the signal to be measured), the high-frequency components are undersampled and are “aliased” (frequency-shifted) in the graphic representation of the FFT. The Autoset function is active. It avoids the undersampling issue and adapts the horizontal scale to make results easier to view. The Zoom function is active. The zoom affects the graphic representation of the FFT but does not change the conditions of acquisition (TB + depth).

The ScopiX has a Multimeter function with 8000 display points. It has as many independent multimeters as there are channels in the Oscilloscope mode (2 or 4), with the same function as in the Oscilloscope mode: Probix.

Coupling:

If a channel is activated and selected, pressing this key changes the input coupling of the channel. With successive presses, the coupling runs through the following settings: AC  AC <5kHz  AC <625  AC+DC  AC+DC <5kHz  AC+DC <625Hz  DC.

Adjusting the coupling is not possible in the following modes: Ohmmeter, Capacitance meter, Continuity, Test of component, Wattmeter.

Modification of the coupling (AC, DC, AC + DC) in amplitude measurement

AC: AC voltage measurement DC: DC voltage measurement AC + DC: AC voltage measurement with a DC component

If the channel measures AC or AC + DC voltage, you can filter the signal with a low-pass analog filter having a cutoff frequency of 5kHz. The other filter proposed is a digital filter at 625Hz; if this filter is chosen, the 5kHz analog filter is also activated.

Harmonic mode

Displays the breakdown into harmonics of a voltage or a current of which the signal is steady-state or quasi-steady-state. It establishes a first diagnostic of the harmonic pollution of an installation.

This mode displays a graph of the fundamental frequency and harmonics out to the 63rd.

The time base is adaptive; it is not adjusted manually.

This analysis is only for signals with a fundamental frequency between 40Hz and 450Hz.

Only channels CHx (not the functions or the memories) can undergo a harmonic analysis.

The harmonic analysis of 2 (OX 2 channels) or 4 (OX 4 channels) signals can be displayed simultaneously.
