Front Panel

The following diagram briefly describes the front panel of this series oscilloscope, so that
you can be familiar with it in the shortest possible time.

The user interface

General Inspection

Please check the instrument as following steps after receiving an oscilloscope:

Check the shipping container for damage:

Keep the damaged shipping container or cushioning material until the contents of the
shipment have been checked for completeness and the instrument has been checked
mechanically and electrically.

Check the accessories:

Accessories supplied with the instrument are listed in "Accessories" in this manual. If
the contents are incomplete or damaged, please notify the franchiser.

Check the instrument:

In case there is any mechanical damage or defect, or the instrument does not operate
properly or fails performance tests, please notify the franchiser.

Functional Check

Follow the steps below to perform a quick functional check to your oscilloscope.

1. Power

Press the power key and the device starts. Press the power key again, and the device
will shut down. Before start it, please confirm that the battery has enough power.
The oscilloscope is equipped with a power adapter and the interface is Type-C. The
input AC power supply is 100~240V, 50~60Hz. The output is 5V@2A. The power
adapter can be used to supply the oscilloscope or charge the battery.
When connect the power adapter to the oscilloscope, if the battery is not installed
inside the oscilloscope, the power key backlight is red and flash; if the battery is
installed inside the oscilloscope and the battery power is not filled, the power key
backlight is red; if the battery is installed inside the oscilloscope and the battery power
is full, the backlight of the source key is extinguishes.

2. Observe the waveform

1) Set the switch on the probe to 1X and connect the probe to Channel 1 on the
oscilloscope. First, align the slot in the probe connector with the protuberance on the
CH1 BNC and push to connect; then, turn to right to lock the probe in place;

2)Connect the probe tip and reference lead to the generator output connector.
Recommended input ~2V@1KHz peak-peak square wave.

3)Press the [Auto] button and you should see within a few seconds a square wave of
about 2V peak-to-peak at 1KHz in the display. Repeat the steps to observe CH2.

Probe Check

Safety

When using the probe, keep your fingers behind the guard on the probe body to avoid
electric shock. Do not touch metallic portions of the probe head while it is connected to a
voltage source. Connect the probe to the oscilloscope and connect the ground terminal to
ground before you start any measurements.

Manual Probe Compensation

Upon the first connection of a probe and an input channel, you should manually perform
this adjustment to match the probe to the input channel. Uncompensated or
miscompensated probes may lead to errors or faults in measurement. To adjust the probe
compensation, follow the steps below.

1. Press Channel button to enter channel setting menu, Set the Probe option

attenuation in the channel menu to 10X. Set the switch on the probe to 10X and
connect the probe to Channel 1 on the oscilloscope. If you use the probe hook-tip,
ensure it is firmly inserted onto the probe. Attach the probe tip to the generator output
connector (recommended input ~2V@1KHz peak-peak square wave), and connect
the reference lead to the ground of the generator. Press the [Auto] button.

2. Check the shape of the displayed waveform.

3. If necessary, use a nonmetallic screwdriver to adjust the variable capacity of your

probe until the shape of the waveform turns to be the same as the above figure.
Repeat this step as necessary. See the figure below for the way of adjustment.

Probe Attenuation Setting

Probes are of various attenuation factors which affect the vertical scale of the signal. The
Probe Check function is used to verify if the Probe attenuation option matches the
attenuation of the probe.
You can press Channel button to enter the channel setting menu and select CH1, and
select the Probe option that matches the attenuation factor of your probe.
Make sure that the Attenuation switch on the probe matches the Probe option in the
oscilloscope. Switch settings are 1X and 10X.
When the Attenuation switch is set to 1X, the probe limits the bandwidth of the
oscilloscope to 6MHz. To use the full bandwidth of the oscilloscope, be sure to set the
switch to 10X.
