OWON HDS-N Series Handheld DSO & DMM 6-Using the Oscilloscope

Term interpretation Collecting mode: The oscilloscope transforms the collected analog data into a digital form after

they are gathered in the following three different modes, that is, sampling, peak value detection and averaging values.

Sampling: The oscilloscope takes samples from the signal at a equal time interval to reconstruct the waveform in this mode, by which the analog signal can be expressed correctly in most cases, yet, the rapid changes can not be collected between two sampling time intervals, causing the confusion and loss the narrow pulse in the signal probably.

Peak value detection: The oscilloscope takes samples from the maximum and minimum of signals in each sampling interval and shows the waveform with the sampled data in this mode, thus, by which the oscilloscope ma y collect the possibly lost narrow pulse in the sampling mode but the noise is obvious.

Averaging values: the oscilloscope collects several waveforms and average over them, and displays the averaged waveform in this mode, by which the random noise can be reduced.

Duration time: When a new waveform is displayed, the previous waveform shown on the screen does not disappear immediately only to be displayed for a period of time, that is, the duration time, by setting which, the waveform can be displayed more continuously and thus a displa y similar to that shown by the analog oscilloscope can be achieved.

Roll scan mode: The oscilloscope updates the waveform sampling points by scrolling display through a screen from left to right in this mode, which is only applicable to the primary time base setting of above 50ms.

6.15 Selecting AC-coupling

Note: Trigger Holdoff can stabilize complex waveform, such as the pulse range. Holdoff time is the oscilloscope's waiting period before startin g a new trigger. During Holdoff, os cilloscope will not trigger until Holdoff ends.

Term interpretation Holdoff: Set time slot before another trigger event. Trigger modes: There are three kinds of trigger modes available for this oscilloscope, they are,

Auto (acquires signal continuously), Normal (acquires signal when trigger conditions are met) and Single (manually triggers the signal).

Automatic trigger mode: The oscilloscope can acquire the waveform without any triggering condition detected in this mode, in which it will be triggered compulsively when waiting for a specified period of time without any triggering condition ignited. When an invalid trigger is enforced，the oscilloscope can not keep the waveform in phase. Normal trigger mode: In this mode, the oscilloscope cannot acquire the waveform till it is triggered. When there is not any trigger, the oscilloscope will display the original waveform without new waveforms captured.

Set the off time to increase. Set the off time to decrease.

Reset Holdoff time to100ns.

Single mode: In this mode, the oscilloscope will detect a trigger and capture a waveform at each time when the customer presses the RUN/STOP key.

8.14 Using FFT

An FFT breaks down signals into component frequencies, which the oscilloscope uses to display a graph of the frequency domain of a signal, as opposed to the oscilloscope's standard time domain graph. You can match these frequencies with known system frequencies, such as system clocks, oscillators, or power supplies. FFT in this oscilloscope can transform 2048 points of the time-domain signal into its frequency components and the final frequency contains 1024 points ranging from 0Hz to Nyquist frequency.

The following table describes the FFT menu:

Quick Tips

window

 If desired, use the zoom feature to magnify the FFT waveform.  Use the default dB scale to see a detailed view of multiple frequencies, even if they have ver y

different amplitudes. Use the Vrms scale to see an overall view of how all frequencies compare to each other.

 Signals that have a DC component or offset can cause incorrect FFT waveform component

magnitude values. To minimize the DC component, choose AC Coupling on the source signal.

 To reduce random noise and aliased components in repetitive or single-shot events, set the

oscilloscope acquisition mode to average.

Term interpretation Nyquist frequency: The highest frequency that any Real Time Digital Oscilloscope can measure

is exactly half of the sampling rate under the condition of no mistakes, which is c alled Nyquist frequency. If under-sampling occurs when the frequency sampled is higher than Nyquist frequency,

OWON HDS-N Series Handheld DSO & DMM 9- Trouble Shooting

9. Trouble Shooting

1. The oscilloscope does not power up

It may be caused by the dead battery. At this time, the oscilloscope will not star t even if it is powered by the battery charger. Firstly, charge the battery and supply the oscilloscope with power through the battery charger. However, don't switch on the oscillosc ope till waiting for 15 minutes. If the oscilloscope still cannot start, please contact OWON for service.

2. The oscilloscope stops working only after operating for several seconds

Probably the battery is dead; Check the battery symbol at the upper left of the screen. The symbol indicates that the battery has been run out of power and must be charged.

3. The measurement type displays ERR when you switch to the Multimeter

mode.

Probably you do not select the measuring mode. In this case, push down any key of the three keys A, V or R. Thus, the relative measuring mode will be shown on the screen. If the ERR is still displayed, restart the oscilloscope.

4. The measured voltage amplitude value is 10 times larger or smaller than the

real value under the oscilloscope mode.

Check whether the channel attenuation level matches the actual probe attenuation ratio.

5. The waveform is displayed on the screen but is not stable under the

oscilloscope mode.

 Check whether the signal item in the trigger mode menu matches the actually used signal

channel.

 Check on the trigger mode: The edge trigger mode is applicable to the universal single

and the video trigger mode applicable to the video signal. Only when the proper trigger mode is applied, can the waveform be in stable.

 Try to change the trigger coupling into the HF rejection and LF rejection to fi lter the HF

or LF noise trigger by the interference.

6. There is no display on the screen when you push down RUN/STOP key under

the oscilloscope mode.

Check whether the trigger mode in the trigger mode menu is in normal or single shot and whether the trigger level is out of the waveform range.

In such condition, adjust and make the trigger level in the middle or select the non-auto trigger mode. Additionally, press the AUTO SET key and complete the above setting

7. When select the average sampling in the sampling mode or select a longer

display time in the display mode under the oscilloscope, the display speed is slow.

It is normal in the above case.

Do not store or place the instrument in locations where the liquid crystal display (LCD) may be directly exposed to the sunshine for a long time.

Be careful: Do not spray liquid into the instrument. Cleaning

Inspect the instrument and the probe frequently in accordance with operating conditions. Clean the outer surface of the instrument according to the following steps:

1. Wipe off the floating dust outside of the instrument and the probe by using soft cloth. When cleaning the LCD, do not scuff the transparent LCD protective screen.

2. Wipe the instrument in power off status by soft cloth that is moist but not dripping. It is allowed to be cleaned by soft detergent or fresh water. Do not use any abrasive chemical detergent to avoid the instrument or the probe being damaged.

Warning: Before running, please confirm that the instrument has been dried out so as to

avoid electrical short circuit and personal injury caused by moisture.

10.2.2 Storage of Oscilloscope

If the test tool is to be stored for a long time, it is required to charge the lithium battery before storage.

Charging the oscilloscope

The lithium battery is possibly not charged when delivery. To make the battery with enough electric quantity, it must be charged for 4 hours (the test tool must be turned off during charging). The battery can supply power for 4 hours after being charged completely. When supplying power by using the battery, a battery indicator is displayed on the top of the screen to show the consumption condition of electric quantity. The symbols that are possibly appear include minutes. To charge the battery and power the instrument, connect the oscilloscope using a power adapter according to Figure 1 to charge the battery. The charging speed can be increased by turning off the test tool. Notice To avoid superheat of battery during charging, the environment temperature is not allowed to exceed the permissible value given in technical specification. Note: No hazard will occur even connecting the charger for a long time, e.g. during a whole weekend. The instrument can automatically switch to slowly charging status.
