1.4 General Check
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 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 fails performance tests, please notify the franchiser.
1.5 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 press the “AUTOSET” button into the menu or the toolbar.
Check the shape of the displayed waveform.
Correctly Compensated
Hantek6102BE/Hantek6212BE User’s Manual 12
Page 15
Chapter 1 Getting Start
Over compensated
If necessary, use a non-metallic tool to adjust the trimmer capacitor of the probe for
the fattest square wave being displayed on the oscilloscope.
Under Compensated
Repeat if necessary.
WARNNING: To avoid electric shock while using the probe, be sure the perfection of the
insulated cable, and do not touch the metallic portions of the probe head while it is connected
with a voltage source.
1.6 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 5v or more. For accurate calibration, 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.

Chapter 1 Getting Start
1.7 Function Check
Perform this functional check to verify that your oscilloscope is operating correctly.
Connect the oscilloscope
You should connect the A-Type Plug of USB cable to your PC USB port and connect the
B-Type Plug of USB cable to oscilloscope USB port.
Input a signal to a channel of the oscilloscope
The oscilloscope is equipped with two channels plus external trigger.
Please input signal in the following steps:
1. Set the attenuation switch on the probe as 10X and connect the probe on the oscilloscope
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).

3. Attach the tip of probe and ground nip to the Connector of Probe compensator. Click the
button. A square wave will be displayed within a several seconds. (Approximately 1
kHz, 2V, peak- to- peak).
4. Inspect CH2 with the same method. Repeat steps 2 and 3.

3.11 Acquisition Modes
Acquisition
When you acquire a signal, the oscilloscope converts it into a digital form and displays a
waveform. The acquisition mode defines how the signal is digitized and the time base setting
affects the time span and level of detail in the acquisition.
There are two acquisition modes: Normal and Average.
Normal: In this acquisition mode, the oscilloscope samples the signal in evenly spaced
intervals to construct waveform.
Average: In this acquisition mode the oscilloscope acquires several waveforms, averages
them, and display the resulting waveform. You can use this mode to reduce random noise.

4.3 Capturing a Single-Shot 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 3.3V
COMS logic, a trigger level of 1.2 or higher Volts should work on a rising edge. Do these steps
as follows:
1. Set the probe and the channel attenuations to X 10.
2. Set up the trigger in the Trigger Menu, or in the Trigger Setting window.
(1) Adjust the Trigger Mode to Edge.
(2) Set the Trigger Sweep to Single.
(3) Set the Trigger Source to CH1.
(4) Set the Trigger Slope to “+” which means you select the rising edge.
(5) Adjust the Volts/Div and the time base in a proper range for the signal.
(6) Drag the trigger level sign on the waveform display screen to proper position. It ally higher
a little above the normal level.
(7) Click START button to start capturing. When the trigger conditions are met, data appears
on the display representing the data points that the oscilloscope obtained with one acquisition.
This function helps to capture the signal occurrence easily, such as the noise with large
amplitude; set the trigger level higher a little above the normal level and press and wait.
When noise occurs, the instrument will record the waveform before and after the trigger.

4.4 The Application of the X-Y Operation
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 input and output.
Do these steps as follows:
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
4. Adjust the vertical scale and offset to display approximately the same amplitude signals
on each channel.
5. Select X-Y format at Horizontal window. The oscilloscope will displays a Lissajous pattern
representing the input and the output characteristics of the circuit.
6. Adjust the scale and offset of the horizontal and vertical to a desirable waveform display.
The following picture shows a typical example.
7. Apply the Ellipse Method to observe the phase difference between the two channels.

Instruction of the Ellipse Method:
Hantek6102BE/Hantek6212BE User’s Manual 72
Page 75
Chapter 5 Appendix
Sinθ = A/B or C/D, where θ = phase shift (in degrees) between the two signals.
From the formula above:
θ = ±arcsine (A/B) or ±arcsine (C/D)
θ must be in the range of (0~π/2) or (3π/2~2π) if the main axis of the ellipse is between I and
III quadrant .If the main axis is at II and IV quadrant, θ must be in the range of (π/2~π) or
(π~3π/2).
