Warning:
To avoid fire or electrical shock, please use proper power adapter. Use only the power
adapter appointed by the manufacturer and subject to approval of being used in the user's
country.
Warning:
The two channels of the oscilloscope are non-isolated electrically. The cha nnels should adopt
common basis during measuring. To prevent short circuits, the 2 probe ground must not be
connected to 2 different non-isolated DC level.

through the ports.
Warning:
To avoid fire or electrical shock if a test tool input is connected to more 42V peak (30Vrms)
or on circuits of more than 4800VA:
● Use only insulated voltage probes, test leads and adapter supplied with the test tool, or
indicated by OWON as suitable for the Oscilloscope & Multimeter .
● Before use, inspect voltage probes, test leads and accessories for mechanical damage and
replace when damaged.
● Remove all probes, test leads and accessories that are not in use.

● Always connect the power adapter first to the AC outlet before connecting it to the
Oscilloscope & Multimeter.
● Do not apply voltages that differ more than 400 V from earth ground to any input when
measuring in a CAT
● Do not apply voltages that differ more than 400 V from each other to the isolated inputs
when measuring in a CAT
● Do not apply input voltages above the rating of the instrument Use caution when using
1:1 test leads because the probe tip voltage will be directly transmitted to the
Oscilloscope & Multimeter.
● Do not use exposed metal BNC or banana plug connectors.
● Do not insert metal objects into connectors.

4. Performing the General Inspection
4.1 Performing the General Inspection
When you have got a new HDS-N series oscilloscope, it is suggested that you should perform a
general inspection on the instrument according to the following steps.
4.1.1 Check whether there is any Damage on it Due to Trans por tation
If the packing boxes or foam cushions are found in serous damage, keep them in a proper place till
the complete instrument and accessories have passed the electrical and mechanical tests.
4.1.2 Make a Check on Accessories
The accessory list has been described in the picture of Digital Oscilloscope P arts of this manual.
You can make a check and find whether there is any accessory loss with reference to the
Appendix. In case of any accessory loss or damage, consult the OWON dealer responsible for
such a business or the local office of OWON.
4.1.3 Make a Check on the Complete Instrument
If the instrument is damaged in its appearance or it fails in normal operation or performance test,
consult the OWON dealer responsible for such a business or the local office of OWON. If the
instrument is damaged due to transportation, keep the packing in a proper place and consult the
transportation department and the OWON dealer responsible for such business, who will provide
an instrument replacement or maintenance.

6. Using the Oscilloscope
6.1 About this Chapter
This chapter provides a step-by-step introduction to the scope functions. The introduction does not
cover all of the capabilities of the scope functions but gives basic examples to show how to use the
menus and perform basic operations.
6.2 Powering Up the Oscilloscope
Connect oscilloscope to AC power via AC-DC adapter as shown in Figure 1. (The oscilloscope
may still work with built-in Li-ion battery even without AC power supply).
Turn the oscilloscope on by pressing down the power on/off key
The instrument then performs self checking aft er power o n. A greeting window and a sentence
"Press any key to continue." will display on the screen when the system finishes self checking.
The users can press any key to enter the measuring function.
The oscilloscope is powered up in its last setup configuration.

Term interpretation
Vertical scale factor: It stands for the voltage amplitude represented by a division in the
vertical direction of the display area, through the adjustment of which you can amplify or
attenuate the signal and thus regulate the signal amplitude into the expected measurement
range.
Vertical zero position: It is referred to as the grounding datum point, through the adjustment
of which you can regulate the display position of the waveform on the screen.
Main time base: It means the time values represented by a division in the horizontal direction
of the display area.
Trigger horizontal position: It means the time deviation between the actual trigger point and
the screen central line, which will be displayed as 0 at the center point of the screen.
Trigg er leve l po sitio n: It represents the voltage deviation between the actual trigger level and
the zero position of the triggering signal source channel.
6.6 Recall factory settings
If you want to reset the Oscilloscope to the factory settings, do the following:
1. Press MENU key and the function menu appears on the right side of the screen
2. Press the MENU
visible at the bottom of the screen.
3. Press F1 key to select "Recall Factory" to recall the factory settings.

4. Press F2 key to select "Auto calibration". If the ambient temperature variation is up to or
larger than 5 Celsius degree, the Auto calibration function should be performed. B ut this will
not affect the using and capability by the heat from LCD and electronic component
See the following Figure 11:
Figure 11: Reset the Oscilloscope
6.7 Input Connections
See Figure 2 on P8.
Look at the bottom and the right of the Oscilloscope. The Oscilloscope has six signal inputs: two
safety BNC jack inputs (CH1 and CH2) for scope measurements, four safety 4-mm banana jack
inputs for Multimeter R, V and A measurements.
Isolated input allows independent floating measurements between Multimeters and Scopes.
6.8 Displaying an Unknow n Signal w it h Auto Set
The Auto-Set feature lets the Oscilloscope display and measure unknown signals automatically.
This function optimizes the position, range, time base and triggering, assures a stable display of
virtually any waveform. This feature is especially useful for quickly checking several signals.
To enable the Auto-Set feature, do the following:
1. Connect the test probe to the tested signals.
2. Press the AUTO SET key and the Oscilloscope is under the automatic measurement
condition. The tested signals appear on the screen.

6.9 Automatic Zero-returning of Trigger Horizontal Posit ion and Trigger Level Position
When we adjust the trigger horizontal position and trigger level position to be maximal to make it
off the screen center remotely, then we perform the following steps to make trigger horizontal
position and trigger level position return to zero automatically.
1. Press V key, the trigger horizontal position automatically returns to zero.
2. Press R key, the trigger level position automatically returns to zero.
6.10 Automatic Measurements
The Oscilloscope offers 20 ranges of automatic scope measurements. Your can display two
numeric readings: measurement 1 and measurement 2. These readings are selectable
independently, and the measurements can be done on the input CH1 or input CH2 waveform.
To choose a frequency for CHI1, do the following:
1. Press MENU key and the function menu appears on the right side of the screen.
2. Press MENU
at the bottom of the screen.
