SAFETY INSTRUCTION

This chapter contains important safety instructions that should be followed when operating and storing the oscilloscope. Read the following before any operation to ensure your safety and to keep best condition for the oscilloscope.

Safety Symbols

These safety symbols may appear in this manual or on the oscilloscope.

Fuse

WARNING

• Fuse type: T1A/250V

• To ensure fire protection, replace the fuse only

with the specified type and rating.

• Disconnect the power cord before replacing the

fuse.

• Make sure the cause of fuse blowout is fixed

before replacing the fuse.

Cleaning the oscilloscope

• Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the

oscilloscope.

• Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild

detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid into the oscilloscope.

• Do not use chemical containing harsh products

such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone.

Operation Environment

• Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,

almost non-conductive pollution (Note below)

• Relative Humidity: < 80%

• Altitude: < 2000m

• Temperature: 0°C to 50°C

(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2001 specifies the pollution degrees and their requirements as follows. the oscilloscope falls un der degree 2.

Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric strength or surface resistivity”.

• Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.

• Pollution degree 2: No rmally only non-conduc tive p ol lu tion occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected.

• Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non- conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight, precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature nor humidity is controlled.

Storage environment

• Location: Indoor

• Relative Humidity: < 85%

• Temperature: 0°C to 50°C

DSO-4000 User Manual

Power cord for the United Kingdom

When using the oscilloscope in the United Kingdom, make sure the power cord meets the following safety instructions.

NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED IMPORTANT: The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green/ Yellow: Earth Blue: Neutral Brown: Live (Phase)

As the colours of the wire s in main leads may not correspond with the colours marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the Earth

terminal marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or Green & Yellow. The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black. The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red. If in doubt, consult the instr uctions provided with the equipment or contac t the supplier. This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and approved HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the equipment and/or user instructions for details. As a guide, cable of 0.75mm2 should be protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger conductors would normally require 13A types, depending on the connection method used . Any moulded mains connector that requires removal /replacement must be destroyed by removal of any fuse & fuse carrier and disposed of immediately, as a plug with bared wir es is hazardous if a engaged in live socket. Any rewiring must be carried out in accordance with the information detailed on this label.

Background

In the trigger Run mode, the oscilloscope constantly searches for a trigger condition and updates the signal into the display when the condition is met.

In the trigger Stop mode, the oscilloscope stops triggering and thus the last acquired waveforms stay in the display. The trigger icon at the top of the display changes into Stop mode.

Real time vs Equivalent time sampling mode

Backgrounds

Real-time sampling

Equivalent-time sampling

The oscilloscope automatically switches between

two sampling modes, Real-time and Equivalent-

time, according to the number of active channels

and sampling rate.

One sampled data is used to reconstruct a single

waveform. Short-time events might get lost if the

sampling rate gets too high. This mode is used

when the sampling rate is relatively low

(250MSa/s or lower).

Multiple numbers of sampled data are

accumulated to reconstruct a single waveform.

Restores greater waveform details but takes longer

to update the waveform. This mode is used when

the sampling rate becomes higher than 250MSa/s.

The maximum equivalent-time sampling rate is

25GSa/s.

when using the oscilloscope in a new environment.

1. Press the Utility key.

2. Press More.

3. Press Self Cal Menu.

Utility

4. Press Vertical. The message “Set CAL to CH1, then press F5” appears at the bottom of

the display.

5. Connect the calibration signal between the rear panel CAL out terminal and the Channel1 input.

6. Press F5. The calibration automatically starts.

DSO-4000 User Manual

7. The Channel1 calibration

will complete in less than 5 minutes.

8. When finished, connect the

calibration signal to the Channel 2 input and repeat the procedure.

9. The calibration is completed and the display

goes back to the previous state.

Probe Compensation

Procedure

1. Connect the probe between Channel1 input and

the probe compensation output (2Vp-p, 1kHz square wave) on the front panel. Set the probe attenuation to x10.

FAQ

•

The input signal does not appear in the display.

•

I want to remove some contents from the display.

•

The waveform does not update (frozen).

•

The probe waveform is distorted.

•

Autoset does not catch the signal well.

•

I want to clean up the cluttered panel settings.

•

The accuracy does not match the specifications.

•

The SD card slot does not accept my card.

Note that the frequency accuracy and duty factor are not specified for probe compensation waveform and therefore it should not be used for other reference purpose.

Autoset does not catch the signal well.

Autoset function cannot catch signals under 30mV or 30Hz. Please use the manual operation. See page35 for details.

I want to clean up the cluttered panel settings.

Setting. For default setting contents, see page32.

DSO-4000 User Manual

The input signal does not appear in the display.

Make sure you have activated the channel. If not, press the CH key. If the signal still does not appear, press the Autoset key.

I want to remove some contents from the display.

To clear the math result, press the Math key twice (page46).

To clear the cursor, press the Cursor key again (page44).

To clear the Help contents, press the Help key again (page33).

The waveform does not update (frozen).

Press the Run/Stop key to unfreeze the waveform. See page36 for details. For trigger setting details, see page61.

The saved display image is too dark on the background.

Use the Inksaver function which reverses the background color. For details, see page81.

The accuracy does not match the specifications.

Make sure the device is powered on for at least 30 minutes, within +20°C~+30°C. This is necessary to stabilize the unit to match the specification.

The SD card slot does not accept my card.

Make sure it is a 1. Standard SD card (MMC and SDHC are not supported), 2. 2GB or less, and 3. FAT or FAT32 formatted.

For more information, please contact your local dealer.
