1.5 General Check
Please check the instrument as following steps after receiving an oscilloscope:
Check the shipping container for damage:
Keep the damaged shipping container or cushioning material until the contents of the
shipment have been checked for completeness and the instrument has been checked
mechanically and electrically.
Check the accessories:
Accessories supplied with the instrument are listed in "Accessories" in this guide. If
the contents are incomplete or damaged,please notify the franchiser.
Check the instrument:
In case there is any mechanical damage or defect, or the instrument does not operate
properly or fails performance tests, please notify the franchiser.
1.6 Function Check
Perform this functional check to verify that your oscilloscope is operating correctly.
Connect the oscilloscope
You should connect the A-Type Plug of USB cable to your PC USB port and connect
the probe with the signal source.
Input a signal to a channel of the oscilloscope
Please input signal in the following steps:
connect the probe with the signal source and ensure good grounding clip.
User’s Manual11
PSO2020
1. Attach the tip of probe and ground nip to the Connector of Probe. A square wave
will be displayed within a several seconds. (Approximately 1 kHz, 2V, peak- topeak).
1.7 Self Calibration
The self calibration routine lets you optimize the oscilloscope signal path for maximum
measurement accuracy. You can run the routine at any time but you should always run the
routine if the ambient temperature changes by 5℃ or more. For accurate calibration,
power on the oscilloscope and wait twenty minutes to ensure it is warmed up. To
compensate the signal path, disconnect any probes or cables from the input connectors.
Then, access the “Menu -> Utility -> Calibration” option and follow the directions on the
screen. The self calibration routine takes about several minutes.

3.4 Set Trigger System
Click “Trigger” in main menu.
The trigger determines when the oscilloscope starts to acquire data and display a
waveform. When a trigger is set up properly, it can convert unstable displays or blank
screens into meaningful waveforms.
If the oscilloscope wants to acquire a waveform, it collects enough data so that it can draw
the waveform to the left of the trigger point. The oscilloscope continues to acquire data
while waiting for the trigger condition to occur. The oscilloscope continues to acquire
enough data so that it can draw the waveform to the right of the trigger point after it
detects a trigger.
The Edge trigger determines whether the oscilloscope finds the trigger point on the rising
or the falling edge of a signal. Select Edge trigger mode to trigger on Rising edge or
Falling edge.
Mode: Select the trigger mode.
The oscilloscope only provides edge trigger mode.
Sweep: Set the sweep mode to Auto, Normal or Single.
Auto: Acquire waveform even no trigger occurred
Normal: Acquire waveform when trigger occurred.

Connect signal to CH1 by using probe
The oscilloscope set the vertical, horizontal, and triggers controls at the best status
automatically. Also, you can adjust the controls to meet your measurement to optimize the

PSO2020
The results of measure display in Information output.
4.2 Capturing a Single-Shot Signal
To capture a single event, it needs to gather some pre-test knowledge of the signal in
order to set up the trigger level and slope correctly. For example, if the event is derived
from 3.3V COMS logic, a trigger level of 1.2 or higher Volts should work on a rising edge.
Do these steps as follows:
1. Set up the trigger in the Trigger Menu, or in the Trigger Setting window.
1) Adjust the Trigger Mode to Edge.
2) Set the Trigger Sweep to Single.
3) Set the Trigger Slope to “+” which means you select the rising edge.
4) Adjust the Volts/Div and the time base in a proper range for the signal.
5) Drag the trigger level sign on the waveform display screen to proper position. It’s
usually higher a little above the normal level.
