Trigger System
The trigger determines when the oscilloscope starts to acquire data and
display waveforms. Once the trigger is set correctly, it can convert an unstable
display into a meaningful waveform.
When the oscilloscope starts to acquire data, it first acquires enough data to
draw the waveform on the left side of the trigger point. The oscilloscope
continuously acquires data while waiting for the trigger condition to occur.
When a trigger is detected, the oscilloscope continuously acquires enough
data to draw a waveform on the right of the trigger point.
The trigger mode of this series of oscilloscopes is edge trigging.
The edge trigging mode is to trigger on the trigger electrical level of the edge of
19
the input signal, that is, trigger on the rising and falling edges of the input
signal.
Entering the edge trigging, the trigger setting information is displayed at the
bottom right corner of the screen, e.g. . It indicates that the
trigger type is rising edge, the trigger source is CH1, the trigger coupling is DC,
and the trigger electrical level is -20.0mV.

7. Troubleshooting
1. The oscilloscope cannot be turned on.
It may be that the battery is completely exhausted. At this time, even if the
oscilloscope is powered by the power adapter, the oscilloscope cannot be
turned on. You need to charge the battery first, and do not turn on the
oscilloscope. Wait for about 15 minutes, and then try to turn on the
oscilloscope. If the oscilloscope still cannot be turned on, please contact us to
serve you.
2. The oscilloscope turns off after a few seconds of startup.
It may be that the battery is exhausted. Check the battery symbol at the top
left of the screen. symbol indicates that the battery is exhausted and must
be charged.
3. After switching to the multimeter, the measurement type is displayed
as E.
It may be that the measurement type was not selected. At this time, press F4,
the measurement type should display the corresponding measurement type.
If E is still displayed, restart the oscilloscope.
4. In the oscilloscope state, the measured voltage amplitude value is 10
times larger or smaller than the actual value.
Check whether the channel attenuation coefficient is consistent with the
actual probe error ratio.
5. In the oscilloscope state, there is a waveform display, but it cannot be
stabilized.
⚫ Check whether the source item in the trigger mode menu is consistent
with the signal channel actually used.
⚫ Check whether the trigger electrical level has exceeded the waveform
range. Only by setting the parameters reasonably, the waveform can be
displayed stably.
6. In the oscilloscope state, nothing is displayed after pressing
32
RUN/STOP.
Check whether the trigger mode of the trigger mode menu is normal or single,
and the trigger electrical level is out of the waveform range. If so, center the
trigger electrical level or set the trigger mode to automatic. In addition, you
can press Auto to automatically complete the above settings.
7. In the oscilloscope state, the display speed becomes slower when the
average value sampling is set in the acquisition mode or the duration is
set longer in the display settings.
It is normal.
