How to Implement the General Inspection

After you get a new oscilloscope, it is recommended that you should make a check on the instrument according to the following steps:

1. Check whether there is any damage caused by transportation.

If it is found that the packaging carton or the foamed plastic protection cushion has suffered serious damage, do not throw it away first till the complete device and its accessories succeed in the electrical and mechanical property tests.

2. Check the Accessories

The supplied accessories have been already described in the "Appendix A: Enclosure" of this Manual. You can check whether there is any loss of accessories with reference to this description. If it is found that there is any accessory lost or damaged, please get in touch with the distributor of OWON responsible for this service or the OWON's local offices.

3. Check the Complete Instrument

If it is found that there is damage to the appearance of the instrument, or the instrument can not work normally, or fails in the performance test, please get in touch with the OWON's distributor responsible for this business or the OWON's local offices. If there is damage to the instrument caused by the transportation, please keep the package. With the transportation department or the OWON's distributor responsible for this business informed about it, a repairing or replacement of the instrument will be arranged by the OWON.

How to Use the Probe Safely

The safety guard ring around the probe body protects your finger against any electric shock, shown as Figure 3-9.

Figure 3-9 Finger Guard

Warning:

To avoid electric shock, always keep your finger behind the safety guard ring of the probe during the operation.

To protect you from suffering from the electric shock, do not touch any metal part of the probe tip when it is connected to the power supply.

Before making any measurements, always instrument and connect the ground terminal to the earth.

How to Implement Self-calibration

The self-calibration application can make the oscilloscope reach the optimum condition rapidly to obtain the most accurate measurement value. You can carry out this application program at any time. This program must be executed whenever the change of ambient temperature is 5℃ or over.

Before performing a self-calibration, disconnect all probes or wires from the input connector. Push the Utility button, select Function in the bottom menu, select Adjust.

3.Quick Start

in the left menu, select Self Cal in the bottom menu; run the program after everything is ready.

Introduction to the Vertical System

As shown in Figure 3-10, there are a few of buttons and knobs in Vertical Controls. The 4 channels are marked by different colors which are also used to mark both the corresponding waveforms on the screen and the channel input connectors. Press one of the channel buttons to open the corresponding channel menu, and press again to turn off the channel. Press the Math button to display the math menu in the bottom. The pink M waveform appears on the screen. Press again to turn off the math waveform.

The 4 channels use the same Vertical Position and Vertical Scale knobs. If you want to set the vertical scale and vertical position of a channel, please press CH1, CH2, CH3 or CH4 at first to select the desired channel. Then turn the Vertical Position and Vertical Scale knobs to set the values.
