component magnitude values. To minimize the DC component, choose AC Coupling on

the source signal.

2. To reduce random noise and aliases components in repetitive or single-shot events,
set the oscilloscope acquisition mode to average.

3. To display FFT waveforms with a large dynamic range, use the “dBVrms” scale. The

“dBVrms” scale displays component magnitudes using a log scale.

FFT Window

The scope meter provides four FFT windows. Each window is a trade-off between

frequency resolution and amplitude accuracy. It depends on the desired measurement

and the source signals characteristics to determine the window to use.

Set Trigger System

The trigger determines when the scope meter starts to acquire data and display a
waveform. When a trigger is set up properly, it can convert unstable displays or blank

screens into meaningful waveforms.

When the scope meter starts to acquire a waveform, it collects enough data so that it

can draw the waveform to the left of the trigger point. The scope meter continues to

acquire data while waiting for the trigger condition to occur. After it detects a trigger, the
scope meter continues to acquire enough data so that it can draw the waveform to the

right of the trigger point.

Trigger Modes

The scope meter provides seven trigger modes: Edge, Pulse and Alternative.

Edge: An edge trigger occurs when the trigger input passes through a specied

voltage level in the specied slope direction.

Pulse: Use this trigger type to catch pulses with certain pulse width.
Alternative: Trigger on non-synchronized signals.

Edge Trigger Setting

An edge trigger determines whether the oscilloscope nds the trigger point on the rising
or the falling edge of a signal. Select Edge trigger Mode to trigger on rising edge, falling

edge or rising & falling edge.

Term interpretation

■ Auto:

This sweep mode allows the scope meter to acquire waveforms even when it does

not detect a trigger condition. If no trigger condition occurs while the scope meter is

waiting for a specic period (as determined by the time-base setting), it will force itself

to trigger.

When forcing invalid triggers, the scope meter cannot synchronize the waveform,
and the waveform seems to roll across the display. If valid triggers occur, the display

becomes stable on the screen. Any factor results in the un-stability of waveforms can

be detected by Auto Trigger, such as the output of Power supply.

NOTE: When horizontal control is set more than 50 ms/div, Auto mode allows the

oscilloscope to capture without trigger signal.

■ Normal:

The Normal mode allows the scope meter to acquire a waveform only when it is
triggered. If no trigger occurs, the scope meter keeps waiting, and the previous
waveform, if any, will remain on the display.

■ Single:

2

In Single mode, after pressing the RUN/STOP key, the scope meter waits for trigger.
While the trigger occurs, the scope meter acquires one waveform then stop.

X-Y Plot acts to analyze correlation of data of two channels. Lissajous diagram

is displayed in the screen when you use X-Y Plot,which enables to compare
frequencies,amplitudes and phases of counterpart waveform against the reference
waveform. This makes it possible to compare and analyze frequency , amplitude and

phase between the input and output.

Do these steps as followings:

1. Set the probe attenuation to “x10”.Set the switch to”x10” on the probes.

2. Connect the CH1 probe to the input of the circuit, and connect the CH2 probe to the

output of the circuit.

3. Click the key AUTO on the panel.

4. Adjust the vertical scale and offset to display approximately the same amplitude
signals on each channel.

Example 4: The Pass/Fail Test

The Pass/Fail Test is one of the enhanced special functions of the Scope Meter. By this

function, the Scope Meter could compare the input signal with the established waveform
mask. If the waveform “touches” the mask, a “Fail” signal occurs. Otherwise the test
passes. When needed, a programmable output can be used for external automatic

control applications. The output is built in as a standard feature and is optically isolated.

2. Connect the signal to the Scope Meter to display a stable wave.

3. Reduce the noise Select the Acquire Mode in Acquire menu.
If there is noise within the signal and the waveform looks too wide, in this case, choose
average acquisition. In this mode the waveform will be thin and easy to observe and

measure.
Use the Average following the steps:

1. Select Acquire in the Utility menu to enter the Acquire menu.

2. Select Mode to Average, then Press F2 to change the Averages

form 2 to 128 to switch the number of averages that best eliminates the noise from the

Example 6: Capture a Single signal

To capture a single event, it needs to gather some pre-test knowledge of the signal in
order to set up the trigger level and slope correctly. For example, if the event is derived
from TTL logic, a trigger level of 2 Volts should work on a rising edge.

Do these steps as followings:

1. Set the probe and the channel attenuations to 1:10.

2. Press the key TRIG to show the Trigger menu.

3. Select Mode->Edge. Set Source to CH1 and Slope to Rising. Set Sweep to Single.

4. Adjust the Volts/Div and the time base in a proper range for the signal.

5. Drag the trigger level sign on the waveform display screen.

6. When the trigger conditions are met, data appears on the display representing the
data points that the Scope Meter obtained with one acquisition.

Chapter 5: Troubleshooting

1.The scope meter cannot start.

1) Check the power cable connection.

2) Ensure the power switch is turned on.

3) After the above inspection, restart the scope meter.

4) If the problem still remains, please contact us for help.

2. The measurement result is 10 times higher or lower than the value expected.
Check if the probe attenuation is the same as the channel attenuation.

3. The waveform is displayed on the screen but is not stable under the scope

meter mode.

1) Check the Trigger Source and notice if it is set to the channel in use.

2) Check the Trigger Type.

4. When select the average sampling in the sampling mode or select a long dis­play time in the display mode under the scope meter, the display speed is slow.
It is normal in the above case.

5. After the Acquisition is set to “Averages” or Display Persistence is set ON, the
waveform refreshes slowly.

It is normal in these settings.
