4.1 Conduct the General Examination

It is recommended that after receiving a new oscilloscope, a check of the instrument is carried out as

follows:

Check whether the unit has been damaged during transport.

If you find that the cardboard packaging or the protective foam pads are badly damaged, save

them until the entire unit and its accessories have passed the electrical and mechanical test.

Checking the accessories

Check probes and other accessories for possible damage or bare or bent cables and wires

before putting them into operation. If in doubt, do not take any measurements and inform your

dealer.

Checking the unit

If you notice any damage to the exterior of the unit or if the unit does not function properly or

does not pass the performance test, please contact your dealer. If the unit has been damaged

during transport, please keep the outer packaging.

4.2 Performing the functional test

Check the proper functioning of the meter as follows:

Do a quick functional test to check the normal operation of the unit. First connect the oscilloscope to

the PC, then carry out the following steps:

In the software interface, click to restore the factory settings. The default setting of the

damping coefficient of the probe in the software is 10X.

Set the oscilloscope probe switch to 10X and connect the probe to CH1 channel.

Connect the probe tip and earth terminal to the probe compensation connector on the oscilloscope.

Click on at the top right of the software interface to start AUTO set mode.

The square waveform of 1 kHz and 3.3VSS is displayed.

Check channel 2 by repeating steps 2 and step 3.

4.3 Performing the probe compensation

When you connect the probe to an input channel for the first time, you must adapt the probe to the input

channel. An uncompensated or incorrectly compensated probe will result in measurement errors.

Perform the probe compensation as follows:

Click on (main menu) in the software interface. Select channel and set the divider ratio to x10. Set

the switch on the probe to 10x and connect the probe to channel 1 of the oscilloscope. If you use a probe

with a gripper tip, make sure that the gripper tip keeps close contact with the probe.

Connect the probe tip to the signal output of the probe compensator and connect the reference terminal

to the ground terminal of the probe compensator, then click (Auto-Set) on the top right of the software

interface.

Check the displayed waveforms and adjust the probe until correct compensation is achieved (see fig. 8

and 9).

4.4 Setting the probe damping factor

The probe has several probe damping factors that affect the vertical scaling factor of the oscilloscope.

If the set probe attenuation factor is to be changed or checked, press the function menu key for the

respective channel and then the selection key corresponding to the probe until the correct value is

displayed.

This setting remains valid until it is changed again.

Note: The damping factor of the probe in the menu is preset to 10X at the factory.

Make sure that the value set on the attenuation switch of the probe corresponds to the attenuation value

set on the oscilloscope.

The values that can be set with the switch on the probe are 1 X and 10X (see Fig. 10).

Fig. 10 Damping switch

Note: When the attenuator switch is set to 1X, the probe limits the bandwidth of the

oscilloscope to 5 MHz. You must set the switch to 10X if you want to use the entire bandwidth

of the oscilloscope.

Warning:

To avoid electric shock, always keep your fingers behind the protective safety ring of the

probe during measurement.

To protect yourself from electric shock, do not touch any metal parts of the probe tip when it

is connected to the power supply.

Before taking any measurements, always connect the probe to the oscilloscope and connect

the ground terminal to the earth potential.
