Measurement category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly
connected to MAINS. Examples are measurements on circuits not derived from
MAINS, and specially protected (internal) MAINS derived circuits. In the latter case,
transient stresses are variable. For that reason, the transient withstand capability of
the equipment is made known to the user.
Measurement category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly
connected to low voltage installations. Examples are measurements on household
appliances, portable tools and similar equipment.
Measurement category III is for measurements performed in building installations.
Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit-breakers, wiring
(including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches and socket-outlets) in fixed
installations, equipment for industrial use and some other equipment. For example,
stationary motors with permanent connection to a fixed installation.
Measurement category IV is for measurements performed at the source of a
low-voltage installation. Examples are electricity meters and measurements on
primary overcurrent protection devices and ripple control units.

Probe Compensation
When the probes are used for the first time, you should compensate the probes to
make them match the input channels of the oscilloscope. Non-compensated or
poorly compensated probes may cause measurement inaccuracy or errors. The
probe compensation procedures are as follows.
1. Perform Step 1, 2, 3 and 4 specified in "Function Inspection".
2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with the following figures.
Figure 1-8 Probe Compensation
3. Use a nonmetallic driver to adjust the low-frequency compensation adjustment
hole on the probe until the displayed waveform is displayed as "Perfectly
compensated" in the figure above.

1． Handle
Pull up the handle vertically for easy carry of the instrument. When you do not
need the handle, press it down.
2． LAN
Connect the instrument to network via this interface for remote control. This
oscilloscope conforms to the LXI CORE 2011 DEVICE class instrument standards
and can quickly build test system with other instruments.
3． USB Device
You can connect the oscilloscope to a PictBridge printer or PC via this interface.
When a PC is connected, users can send SCPI commands using the PC software
or control the oscilloscope via user-defined programming. When a printer is
connected, users can print the waveform displayed on the screen using the
printer.
4． Trigger Out and Pass/Fail
Trigger Out:
The oscilloscope can output a signal that can reflect the current capture
rate of the oscilloscope at each trigger via this interface. Connect the signal
to a waveform display device and measure the frequency of the signal. The
measurement result is the same with the current capture rate.
