1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 General Description

The Model 300 is a portable DMM/oscilloscope featuring a digital storage oscilloscope with 30-MS/s sampling and digital multimeter functions in a single, highly portable package.

It has a full compliment of the latest features, such as a logic scope function for easy logic timing observation, memory-card memory expansion, and even an AUTO SETUP function that displays the input waveform optimally on the display screen automatically.

1.2 Features

1.2.1 DMM Section

  • In addition to the six basic measurement functions (DC/AC voltage, DC/AC current, resistance, and low-power resistance), the Model 300 features a continuity beeper function to test for circuit shorts.
  • Full autoranging is provided, making range selection simply a matter of applying the probes to the measurement points. Manual range selection is also possible.
  • DMM measurement values can be displayed simultaneously with waveforms, and the electrical isolation between the DMM and scope sections enables simultaneous waveform observation and DMM measurements on completely different circuit parts.
  • A data logger function is provided which enables printout of measured values at a given time interval. The provision for a built-in clock and the ability to determine the measurement of time is convenient in unmanned periodic production-line voltage monitoring.

1.2.2 Oscilloscope Section

  • High-speed sampling (30 MS/s for one channel and 15 MS/s for two channels), and 10-MHz bandwidth for adequate coverage of the video band.
  • 128 points (7 bits) of vertical-axis resolution and 180 words of horizontalaxis resolution
  • The memory size can be selected as 180 words or 1800 words for observation of long waveforms.
  • A high-capacity bank memory is provided, enabling storage of up to ten displayed waveforms for each channel. This is battery backed up so that contents are not lost when power is switched off.
  • In addition to the bank memory, each channel can store up to 40 waveforms using a memory card, enabling easy memory expansion.
  • An automatic setup function provides instant optimization of the input waveform display, by automatically optimizing the vertical-axis and horizontal-axis ranges and trigger levels.
  • The currently input waveform and a waveform from bank memory can be simultaneously displayed. This enables easy waveform comparison, so that by storing a standard waveform in bank memory, a go/nogo comparison can be made on an input waveform.
  • A printout of a displayed waveform can be made on a dedicated printer, a useful feature in generating reports and other documentation.
  • The technique of storing an input waveform in memory and playing the waveform back (digital storage operation) is convenient in observing onetime events.
  • A pretriggering function can be used to observe parts of a waveform before the trigger occurs, a feature not possible with normal oscilloscopes.

  • The horizontal-axis range can be selected as slow as 20 s/div, a convenient feature in observing extremely slow-changing signals.
  • An X-Y display can be obtained with CH1 serving as the X axis and CH2 serving as the Y axis, enabling Lissajous pattern observation of two signals.

1.2.3 Other Features

  • A large, high-contrast LCD screen is used, providing a wide viewing angle and a sharp display even outdoors.
  • A logic scope function is provided as a convenience in timing observations of logic signals.
  • Battery operation is possible using just four type AA (R6) batteries, and the Model 300 is small enough and light enough to be highly portable, enabling it to be carried and used anywhere.

2. OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

2.1 Avoiding Excessive Inputs

Take care that none of the input terminals of the Model 300 is subjected to input levels higher than the maximum specified levels, as this can cause burnout of input circuitry and damage to internal circuits.

(1) DMM Section

  • Between V and COM 1.1 kV (p-p + DC) for 1 minute
  • Between Ω and COM 250 V (p-p + DC) for 1 minute
  • Between mA and COM 0.5 A (fuse protected)

(2) Oscilloscope Section

٠ Vertical input terminal 400 V (p-p + DC) , 1 kHz for 1 minute
٠ External trigger input 100 V (p-p + DC), 1 kHz for 1 minute
٠ Probe (LP-16BX) 600 V (p-p + DC), 1 kHz for 1 minute

  • (3) Isolation Withstand Voltage Between the DMM and Oscilloscope Sections
    • Between DMM input and 1.1 kV (p-p + DC) for 1 minute SCOPE GND

A "maximum of 400 V (p-p + DC)" refers to the condition, as shown in Fig. 2-2, in which the absolute value at the peak is 400 V.

Page 16

Replacement of the Current-Measurement Terminal Protective Fuse

When the rear battery cover is opened, the fuse can be seen next to the batteries, as shown in Fig. 2-3. Replace this fuse with a spare.

2.2 Battery Operation

(1) Battery replacement

When the battery voltage drops, the "LOW BATT" indicator on the front panel will light. If this indicator lights, it is time to replace the batteries of the Model 300.

Replace all four batteries with batteries of the same type, and avoid mixing new and old batteries.

If the Model 300 is to be left unused for a long period of time (one month or longer), be sure to remove the batteries from the Model 300 to prevent both depletion and leakage.

  • Slide the battery cover in the "OPEN▶" direction to open it.
  • (2) Replace all batteries with new ones, taking care to observe proper polarity.

Battery Life

(2)

Battery life will depend upon the type of battery, the ambient temperature, and the measurement conditions.

Table 2-1 gives some general value to be used as a guide in battery operation with various types of batteries.

V. MODE: DUAL, SWEEP MODE: AUTO, TIME/DIV:1ms/div

0°C 35 min. No operation 1 hour
20°C 2 hour 15 min. 25 min. 1 hour 15 min.
40°C 3 hours 45 min. 1 hour 20 min.

Care is required when either the NORM or SINGLE sweep mode is selected, as the battery life is greatly shortened in the trigger wait condition.

Note: Batteries will generate heat after a long period of battery operation, but this is not an abnormal condition.

2.3 External DC Power

Take care with the polarity and input voltage.

  • Input voltage 6.5 V ±10%
  • Maximum input voltage 7.5 V

Use only the LPS-1910 AC adaptor (6V 800mA).

2.4 High Temperature and Humidity

Use the Model 300 in its specified operating environment of 0 to 40°C and 10 to 80% humidity. Use under severe environmental conditions can cause failures.

2.5 Avoid Excessive Shock

When carrying the Model 300, take care that it is not allowed to be dropped or otherwise subjected to excessive shock, as this can cause operational or permanent failures.

2.6 LCD Contrast

The contrast of the LCD display changes with temperature, and the overall display density increases when the ambient temperature is high. If this happens, turn the CONTRAST adjustment down to lower the screen contrast.

2.7 BANK Memory Backup

The bank memory contents are backed up by a dedicated battery. If the Model 300 is powered on for 8 hours, these contents will be held for at least one month.

When the DMM switch (6) is pressed to select the DMM function, the rangeswitching mode is set to autoranging.

In the autoranging mode, when the RANGE switch (1) is pressed a change is made to manual range selection.

In the manual range selection mode, each time the RANGE switch (1) is pressed the measurement range is up-ranged.

If the RANGE switch (1) is held down for longer than 1 second, a switch will be made from manual range selection to autoranging.

Ranging Operations in the Autoranging Mode

When the measurement results reach the following limits, the range is automatically switched.

Autoranging up-range: Switch to the next higher range at 2800 to 3199 counts
Autoranging down-range: Switch to the next lower range at below 269 counts
Warning display: When the measurement result exceeds 3199 positive counts, the display will indicate "+" and when it exceeds 3199 negative counts, it will indicate "". In addition, a beeper will sound as a warning.

4.3 Low-Power Resistance Measurement (LPΩ)

Low-power resistance measurement is used in in-circuit measurement of resistances that are connected in parallel with diodes or transistors.

The resistance is measured with an open-circuit input terminal voltage of 0.45 V or lower. Note that because of the reduced measurement voltage, measurement accuracy is reduced.

In the DMM mode, press the Ω switch ①.

Next, press the LPQ/Q switch (). "LP" will on the LCD display panel.

Make the measurement by connecting the resistance to be measured across the input terminals () and ().

Table 4-1 shows measurement examples obtained by measuring a circuit such as shown in Fig. 4-2.

5.1 Panel Controls Used

Fig. 5-1

When both the DMM and OSCILLOSCOPE functions are to be operated simultaneously, (1)/(2) to (1)/(2) of the DMM are also used. Note that simultaneous operation is not possible when TIME/DIV is 0.1 s/div or below for ROLL and SCROLL.

When the RUN/HOLD key 39 is in the HOLD condition, only the keys of Fig. 5-2 are operable.

Fig. 5-2

Page 34

2 Probe Calibration

The accessory probe (LP-16BX) enables switching between ×1 and ×10.

In the ×10 setting, the signal at the probe tip is attenuated by 1/10 before being applied to the OSCILLOSCOPE section.

For this reason, the measured voltage values must be multiplied by 10.

This probe requires adjustment.

Fig. 5-3

Adjust the capacitance compensation trimmer to compensate for the input capacitance of the oscilloscope so that the frequency response is flat in the ×10 setting.

Make contact between the probe tip and the PROBE CAL terminal (5) and set TIME/DIV to 1 msec/div. Adjust to obtain the properly compensated waveform as shown in Fig. 5-4.

The CAL signal frequency depends upon the TIME/DIV setting.

If the probe in connected to the CAL terminal and the AUTO SETUP function is activated, the TIME/DIV setting will be 1 µs/div. When calibrating the probe, set TIME/DIV to 1 ms/div.

5.4 AUTO RANGE and AUTO SETUP

The Model 300 has three automatic setting functions that make optimum set tings of front panel conditions according to the input signal conditions.

(1) Automatic input sensitivity setting: Sets the vertical-axis range to the optimum value.
(2) Automatic sweep time setting: Sets the horizontal-axis range to the optimum value.
(3) AUTO SETUP: Sets the vertical-axis range and po-
sition, the horizontal-axis range,
and the trigger level.

These three automatic setting functions do not operate under the following conditions, however.

  • When the TIME/DIV ③ is set to 0.5 µs/div to 0.1 µs/div (except AUTO SETUP)
  • When the TIME/DIV ③ is set to 0.1 s/div to 20 s/div (except AUTO SETUP)
  • When the V. MODE @ is set to ADD, SUB, or X-Y
  • When the MEMORY SIZE is set to LONG

Also, these three automatic setting functions operate when the switch is pressed, and are canceled upon completion of the automatic setting.

During operation of an automatic setting function, the DISP MODE item ① on the display indicates "AUTO".

When an automatic setting operation is made, the MODE ③ is automatically set to AUTO and the HF-REJ ③ is set to off.

Page 37

---------------------------------------

Fig. 5-6

(1) Automatic Input Sensitivity Setting (VERTICAL AUTO RANGE)

When the ◀ and ► VOLTS/DIV keys ② (or ◀ and ► VOLTS/DIV keys ③) are pressed at the same time, the VERTICAL AUTO RANGE function is activated.

If the amplitude of the signal under measurement is not known, when this function is turned on the signal's amplitude is sensed, and the optimum value between 5 mV/div and 20 V/div is automatically set (so that the waveform does not extend beyond the uppermost and lowermost lines on the screen).

(2) Automatic Sweep Time Setting (TIME AUTO RANGE)

When the ◀ and ► TIME/DIV keys ③ are pressed at the same time, the TIME AUTO RANGE function is activated.

If the frequency of the signal under measurement is not known, when this function is turned on, the signal's frequency is sensed, and the optimum value from 1 µs/div to 50 ms/div is set automatically (so that approximately two to five cycles of the signal are displayed).

If more than approximately five cycles of the signal are displayed even at 1 µs/div, operation is terminated at the 1 µs/div setting.

Similarly, if fewer than approximately two cycles are displayed even at 50 ms/div, operation is terminated at the 50 ms/div setting.

The channel for automatic setting depends upon the setting of V.MODE 3, and is as shown in Table 5-1.

Operating Mode Setting Channel
CH1 CH1
CH2 CH2
DUAL CH1

Table 5-1

Page 38

(3) AUTO SETUP

In addition to the above-described VERTICAL AUTO RANGE and TIME AUTO RANGE functions, the AUTO SETUP function optimizes the vertical-axis position and trigger level simultaneously.

The sweep time and trigger source settings depend upon the V. MODE ③ setting, and is as shown in Fig. 5-1.

When the AUTO SETUP key ② is pressed, the vertical-axis position and trigger level are set to fixed settings regardless of the settings of the corresponding potentiometers.

After the automatic setting is made, the automatic setting is canceled by operating these potentiometers.

5.5 Establishing Triggering to Freeze Waveforms on the Display Screen

In observing waveforms using an oscilloscope, the most important operation is that which properly freezes a waveform on the display. It is proper triggering that achieves this condition.

(1) Triggered Sweep Method

Triggered sweep modes consist of the AUTO, NORM, and SINGLE modes. Each time the MODE key ② is pressed, these switch through the sequence AUTO → NORM → SINGLE → AUTO

AUTO (automatic sweep)

With no input the sweep is in the free-run condition, with the swept trace visible on the display.

When a signal is applied, the oscilloscope goes into triggered sweep operation automatically.

Triggering is not possible when the input signal frequency is lower than 30 Hz.

  • AUTO is the normally used sweep mode setting.
  • NORM (triggered sweep)

In this mode, the waveform is displayed in sync with a signal set at the trigger section.

If there is no trigger signal, the last triggered signal is continuously displayed.

The NORM setting should be used with input signals of 30 Hz and lower.

SINGLE (single sweep)

This is used to measure one-time pulses and events.

Page 39
(2) Trigger Signal Selection

The trigger signal source can be selected as one of the following three sources.

  • CH1: Triggering is done on the signal applied at the CH1 or X IN connector (5).
  • CH2: Triggering is done on the signal applied at the CH2 or Y IN connector (B.
  • EXT: Triggering is done on the signal applied to the EXT TRIG IN connector D.

Each time the SOURCE key Ø is pressed, the trigger signal source is switched through the sequence CH1 → CH2 → EXT → CH1.

Normally this trigger source is set to either CH1 or CH2, depending upon the setting of V. MODE ②.

For video signals, apply the sync signal (horizontal or vertical) to the EXT TRIG IN connector (1) and use external triggering to obtain a easily frozen display.

(3) Trigger Position Adjustment

PRETRIG POINT Setting

Since the Model 300 is a digital storage oscilloscope, it is capable of observation of parts of a waveform before the trigger point.

The PRETRIG DIV key ② can be used to set the horizontal position of the trigger point on the display to 1 div, 6 div, or 11 div.

The setting condition is indicated by a dotted line cursor on the display screen.

The portion of the waveform to the right of the cursor line occurred after the trigger point, and the portion to the left of the cursor line occurred before the trigger point. This is normally set to 6 div.

If the MEMORY SIZE (1) is set to LONG, this setting is fixed at 6 div.

In the ROLL and SCROLL modes, since triggered sweep is not possible, the PRETRIG DIV key 2 does not operate in these modes.

TRIG LEVEL Setting

The TRIG LEVEL (3) sets the trigger position as a vertical position on the input signal. The TRIG LEVEL setting condition is indicated by a mark to the left of the waveform display on the screen. It normally set at the center.

In Fig. 5-7 on the following page, the TRIG LEVEL marker and PRETRIG POINT cursor intersection point is the trigger point.

(1) Real Sampling Mode

This is the normal operating mode.

The input signal is first captured into memory and then played back to the display.

(2) Equivalent Sampling Mode

In this mode, the waveform is displayed with a number of sweeps.

A proper waveform display is not possible with non-repetitive signals, and care is also required because inaccurate triggering will cause abnormal waveform display.

(3) Interpolated Display

In high-speed sweep ranges above the maximum sampling rate of the Model 300, the number of sampled point per sweep is reduced.

The points between actually sampled points are calculated internally and interpolated in the display.

Page 41
(4) ROLL Mode

When the sweep time becomes long, because the screen update is slow, operation automatically switches to ROLL or SCROLL mode.

In the real sampling mode, the entire displayed waveform is updated by a new waveform. However, in the ROLL mode, the old waveform is sequentially replaced by the new waveform.

In this mode, sync is not achieved, and the waveform writing point moves from left to right.

(5) SCROLL Mode

In this mode, the waveform writing point is at the right edge of the screen, and the changes in input signal are recorded regardless of triggering.

The written data moves sequentially to the left, and when the left edge is reached, it is erased.

This mode emulates the action of a pen recorder, with the pen position at the right edge of the screen, the chart paper being the display screen, and the take up mechanism being the left edge of the display screen.

5.7 Observation of One-Time Signals

This type of operation is used to observe signals that only occur one time, or those which occur at unpredictable times,

Care is required with the trigger section settings, since if proper triggering is not achieved, the waveform will not be displayed.

Procedure

(1) Press the SWEEP/MODE key @ to select "SINGLE".

"READY" will be displayed at the DISP MODE ① position on the display, indicating that the Model 300 is waiting for an input signal.

In this condition, the HOLD indicator (3) is extinguished.

  • (2) When a signal is input, a waveform measurement is performed just one time, the HOLD indicator S lights, and the waveform is displayed.
  • (3) If the RUN/HOLD key

Note that the SINGLE setting is not possible when the TIME/DIV setting is as follows.

  • 0.1 sec div to 20 sec/div
  • 0.1 µs/div and V. MODE 3 set to DUAL

5.8 Memory Configuration and Size

The Model 300 memory configuration and display operation are related as shown in Fig. 5-10.

5-10

Page 43

The storage memory size can be switched between NORM (180 words) which corresponds to the display screen, and LONG (1.8 kwords) which is ten times longer.

It is possible to store the display screen into the bank memory.

The number of screens that can be stored into bank memory depends upon the memory size, as follows.

For a memory size of NORM (180 words): 10 screens

For a memory size of LONG (1.8 kwords): 1 screen

5.9 LONG Memory Mode

In the LONG memory mode, the storage memory size is ten times that of the NORM mode (i.e., 1.8 kwords).

The display is compressed to 1/10 on the horizontal axis.

Fig. 5-11

Each time the MEMORY SIZE key (1) is pressed, the memory size alternates between NORM and LONG.

In the LONG memory mode, the sweep time range is 10 µs/div to 200 s/div.

Waveform Expansion

In the LONG memory mode, it is possible to expand the waveform display tenfold along the horizontal direction.

The procedure is as follows.

  • (1) When the RUN/HOLD key ③ is pressed, the HOLD indicator ④ lights, and the HOLD condition is enabled.
  • (2) The display can be expanded up to ten times in 1-2-5 steps, by means of the TIME/DIV key 3.
  • (3) The center of the waveform expansion can be move by means of the ▲ and ▼ keys @. A marker appears at the bottom of the display screen to indicate what part of memory contents have been expanded.

Waveform Storage and Recall

It is possible to store the display screens into and play display screens back from bank memory. The bank memory is backed up by a dedicated battery, so that contents are held even with power switched off.

The number of screens that can be stored in bank memory depends upon the memory size.

For a memory size of NORM (180 words): 10 screens

For a memory size of LONG (1.8 kwords): 1 screen

Page 45
Waveform Storage

Waveform storage is performed by the following procedure.

When the display screen to be stored is obtained, press the RUN/HOLD key 3.

The HOLD indicator (5) will light, and the HOLD condition will be entered.

(2) When the BANK key (3) is pressed, the BANK MEMORY mode is enabled, and the display appears as shown in Fig. 5-14. In this screen example, the MEMORY SIZE (3) is NORM.

If the MEMORY SIZE () is LONG, only bank number 10 is displayed.

In the BANK MEMORY mode, if the BANK key (3) is pressed once again, return is made to the HOLD condition.

  • (4) If the ▲ and ▼ keys ④ are pressed at the same time "Y/N" appears underneath the DELETE in the display.
  • (5) Each time the ▲ or ▼ key @ is pressed, the highlighted portion changes alternately between "Y" and "N".

Highlight the "Y" and press both the ▲ and the ▼ key ④ to delete the contents at the selected bank memory number.

Waveform Playback

The procedure for playing back a waveform from memory is as follows.

  • (1) Press the RUN/HOLD key 3 to light the HOLD indicator 3, indicating that the HOLD condition has been enabled.
  • (2) Each time the ▲ or ▼ key ④ is pressed, the waveform stored in the bank memory locations are displayed.
5.11 Waveform Comparison

It is possible to obtain an overlaid display of a waveform which is stored at a specified bank memory number with the working memory waveform.

The bank memory waveform is displayed with half-tone contrast, and the scales are blanked when doing this.

The contents of the working memory remain in the character display area.

Note

If the bank memory waveform was from the LONG memory mode, waveform comparison is not possible.

The procedure is as follows.

  • Press the RUN/HOLD key I to light the HOLD indicator I, indicating that the HOLD condition has been enabled.
  • (2) When the BANK key (3) is pressed, the BANK memory mode is enabled, and the display screen appears as shown in Fig. 5-14.

Comparison of a Held Waveform With One in Bank Memory

The procedure is as follows.

  • Use the ▲ or ▼ key ④ to move the highlighted portion of the display to the "COMP" of the function section.
  • (2) If both the ▲ and ▼ keys ④ are pressed to make the setting, the highlighted portion moves to the selection section of the display.
  • (3) Use the ▲ or the ▼ key ④ to select the bank number.
  • (4) When the ▲ and ▼ keys ④ are pressed at the same time, the waveform of the specified bank number is displayed overlaid on the waveform from working memory.

Comparison Between Waveforms From Bank Memory

It is possible to make a comparison after transferring the waveforms into working memory.

The procedure is as follows.

  • (1) Use the ▲ or ▼ key ④ to move the highlighted portion of the display to the "RECALL" of the function section.
  • (2) If both the A and V keys (1) are pressed to make the setting, the highlighted portion moves to the selection section of the display.
  • (3) Use the ▲ or the ▼ key ④ to select the bank number.
  • (4) When the ▲ and ▼ keys @ are pressed at the same time, the bank number is set, and the waveform in the selected bank number is transferred into the working memory.

It is possible to obtain a comparison display with the same procedure as followed to compare a "held" waveform with one in bank memory.

Note

When RECALL is used to play back a waveform from bank memory, the waveform that had been in working memory is lost.

5 12 Automatic Input Signal Peak-to-Peak Voltage and Frequency Measurement

The peak-to-peak voltage and frequency of the input signal can be measured, and the results of these calculations can be displayed on the screen.

For 2-channel simultaneous operation, the frequency display is that of the CH1 signal.

Automatic Input Signal Peak-to-Peak Voltage Measurement

Measurement accuracy depends upon the displayed waveform deflection, and decreases for a small-almplitude waveform. At a displayed amplitude of less than 1 division, since measurement error is large, a " ------ " display results.

When using a 1/10 probe for the measurement, the values displayed must be multiplied by 10.

Page 48

Automatic Frequency Measurement

In automatic frequency measurement, the frequency is calculated from the period of the displayed waveform and this value is displayed.

The measurement accuracy will depend upon the displayed period of the waveform, decreasing as the period becomes short (i.e., as the number of displayed cycles increases).

At a displayed period of less than 1 div, since measurement error is large, a "....." display results.

In the case of complex waveforms such as those of video signals, care is required, as erroneously measured values may be displayed.

Note also that the portion a waveform that is overlapping with the automatically measured value display will disappear.

Enabling the Automatic Input Signal Peak-to-Peak Voltage (Frequency) Measurement Mode

The procedure is as follows.

  • Press the RUN/HOLD key
  • (2) When the SYSTEM key (2) is pressed, the system setting mode is enabled.

In this system setting mode, if the SYSTEM key ③ is pressed once again, return is made to the HOLD condition.
