General Check

Please check the instrument as following steps after receiving the 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. Ensure and the instrument has been
checked mechanically and electrically.

Check the accessories:

Accessories supplied with the instrument are listed in "Accessories" in this guide. 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 fail performance tests, please notify the franchiser.

Probe Compensation

Perform this function to match the characteristics of the probe and the channel input.
This should be performed whenever attaching a probe to any input channel at the first
time.

■ From the “Probe” menu, select attenuation to 1:10. Set the switch to “X10” on the

probe and connect it to CH1 of the oscilloscope. When using the probe hook-tip, insert
the tip onto the probe firmly to ensure a proper connection.

■

Attach the probe tip to the Probe Compensator and the reference lead to the ground

connector, select CH1, and then adjust the timebase and Volt/Div in sidebar.

■

Check the shape of the displayed waveform.

■ Input a signal to a channel of the oscilloscope

The oscilloscope is equipped with eight channels.

Please input signal in the following steps:

1. Set the attenuation switch on the probe as 10X and connect the probe on the osci­ lloscope with CH1. Aim the slot in the probe connector at the faucet on BNC of CH1

and insert, then, turn right to lock the probe. Finally, attach the tip of probe and ground
nip to the Connector of Probe compensator.

2. Set the CH1 probe attenuation of the oscilloscope to X10. (The default is X1).

Self Calibration

The self calibration routine lets you optimize the oscilloscope signal path for maximum
measurement accuracy. You can run the routine at any time but you should always run
the routine if the ambient temperature changes by 5
tion, power on the oscilloscope and wait twenty minutes to ensure it is warmed up. To
compensate the signal path, disconnect any probes or cables from the input connectors.
Then, access the “Utility -> Calibration” option and follow the directions on the screen.
The self calibration routine takes about several minutes.
