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 Implement the Function Inspection

Make a fast function check to verify the normal operation of the instrument, according to the following steps:

  1. Connect the power cord to a power source. Press the
    button on the bottom left of the instrument.

The instrument carries out all self-check items and shows the Boot Logo. Push the Utility button, select Function in the right menu. Select Adjust in the left menu, select Default in the right menu. The default attenuation coefficient set value of the probe in the menu is 10X.

  1. Set the Switch in the Oscilloscope Probe as 10X and Connect the Oscilloscope with CH1 Channel.

Align the slot in the probe with the plug in the CH1 connector BNC, and then tighten the probe with rotating it to the right side.

Connect the probe tip and the ground clamp to the connector of the probe compensator.

  1. Push the Autoset Button on the front panel.

The square wave of 1 KHz frequency and 5V peak-peak value will be displayed in several seconds (see Figure 3-5).


Figure 3-5 Auto set

Check CH2 by repeating Step 2 and Step 3.

How to Implement the Probe Compensation

When connect the probe with any input channel for the first time, make this adjustment to match the probe with the input channel. The probe which is not compensated or presents a compensation deviation will result in the measuring error or mistake. For adjusting the probe compensation, please carry out the following steps:

  1. Set the attenuation coefficient of the probe in the menu as 10X and that of the switch in the probe as 10X
    (see “How to Set the Probe Attenuation Coefficient” on P11), and connect the probe with the CH1 channel. If a probe hook tip is used, ensure that it keeps in close touch with the probe. Connect the probe tip with the signal connector of the probe compensator and connect the reference wire clamp with the ground wire connector of the probe connector, and then push the Autoset button on the front panel.
  2. Check the displayed waveforms and regulate the probe till a correct compensation is achieved (see Figure 3-6 and Figure 3-7).


    Overcompensated     Compensated correctly     Under compensated

Figure 3-6 Displayed Waveforms of the Probe Compensation

  1. Repeat the steps mentioned if needed.


Figure 3-7 Adjust Probe

How to Set the Probe Attenuation Coefficient

The probe has several attenuation coefficients, which will influence the vertical scale factor of the oscilloscope.

To change or check the probe attenuation coefficient in the menu of oscilloscope:

  1. Push the function menu button of the used channels (CH1 or CH2 button).
  2. Select Probe in the right menu; turn the M knob to select the proper value in the left menu corresponding to the probe.

This setting will be valid all the time before it is changed again.


The default attenuation coefficient of the probe on the instrument is preset to 10X.

Make sure that the set value of the attenuation switch in the probe is the same as the menu selection of the probe attenuation coefficient in the oscilloscope.


The set values of the probe switch are 1X and 10X (see Figure 3-8).


Figure 3-8 Attenuation Switch


When
the attenuation switch is set to 1X, the probe will limit the bandwidth of the oscilloscope in 5MHz. To use the full bandwidth of the oscilloscope, the switch must be set to 10X.


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


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 connect the probe to the 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 right menu, select Adjust. in the left menu, select Self Cal in the right 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 following practices will gradually direct you to be familiar with the using of the vertical setting.


Figure 3-10 Vertical Control Zone

1. Use the Vertical Position knob to show the signal in the center of the waveform window. The Vertical Position knob functions the regulating of the vertical display position of the signal. Thus, when the Vertical Position knob is rotated, the pointer of the earth datum point of the channel is directed to move up and down following the waveform.

Measuring Skill

If the channel is under the DC coupling mode, you can rapidly measure the DC component of the signal through the observation of the difference between the wave form and the signal ground.

If the channel is under the AC mode, the DC component would be filtered out. This mode helps you display the AC component of the signal with a higher sensitivity.

Vertical offset back to 0 shortcut key

Turn the Vertical Position knob to change the vertical display position of channel and push the position knob to set the vertical display position back to 0 as a shortcut key, this is especially helpful when the trace position is far out of the screen and want it to get back to the screen center immediately.

2. Change the Vertical Setting and Observe the Consequent State Information Change.

With the information displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the waveform window, you can determine any changes in the channel vertical scale factor.

  • Turn the Vertical
    Scale knob and change the “Vertical Scale Factor (Voltage Division)”, it can be found that the scale factor of the channel corresponding to the status bar has been changed accordingly.
  • Push buttons of CH1, CH2 and Math, the operation menu, symbols, waveforms and scale factor status information of the corresponding channel will be displayed in the screen.

Introduction to the Horizontal System

Shown as Figure 3-11, there are a button and two knobs in the Horizontal
Controls. The following practices will gradually direct you to be familiar with the setting of horizontal time base.


Figure 3-11 Horizontal Control Zone

  1. Turn the Horizontal Scale knob to change the horizontal time base setting and observe the consequent status information change. Turn the Horizontal Scale knob to change the horizontal time base, and it can be found that the Horizontal Time Base display in the status bar changes accordingly.
  2. Use the Horizontal Position knob to adjust the horizontal position of the signal in the waveform window. The Horizontal Position knob is used to control the triggering displacement of the signal or for other special applications. If it is applied to triggering the displacement, it can be observed that the waveform moves horizontally with the knob when you rotate the Horizontal Position knob.

    Triggering displacement back to 0 shortcut key

    Turn the Horizontal Position knob to change the horizontal position of channel and push the Horizontal Position knob to set the triggering displacement back to 0 as a shortcut key.

  3. Push the Horizontal HOR button to switch between the normal mode and the wave zoom mode.

Introduction to the Trigger System

To select the FFT window

■ There are 6 FFT windows. Each one has trade-offs between frequency resolution and magnitude accuracy. What you want to measure and your source signal characteristics help you to determine which window to use. Use the following guidelines to select the best window.

Type Characteristics Window
Hamming Better solution for magnitude than Rectangle, and good for frequency as well. It has slightly better frequency resolution than Hanning.

Recommend to use for:

  • Sine, periodic and narrow band random noise.
  • Transients or bursts where the signal levels before and after the event are significantly different.

Rectangle Best solution for frequency, worst for magnitude.

Best type for measuring the frequency spectrum of nonrepetitive signals and measuring frequency components near DC.

Recommend to use for:

  • Transients or bursts, the signal level before and after the event are nearly equal.
  • Equal-amplitude sine waves with frequencies those are very close.
  • Broadband random noise with a relatively slow varying spectrum.

Blackman Best solution for magnitude, worst for frequency.

Recommend to use for:

 Single frequency waveforms, to find higher order harmonics.


Hanning Good for magnitude, but poorer frequency resolution than Hamming.

Recommend to use for:

  • Sine, periodic and narrow band random noise.
  • Transients or bursts where the signal levels before and after the event are significantly different.

Kaiser The frequency resolution when using the Kaiser window is fair; the spectral leakage and amplitude accuracy are both good.

The Kaiser window is best used when frequencies are very close to the same value but have widely differing amplitudes (the side lobe level and shape factor are closest to the traditional Gaussian RBW).

This window is also good for random signals.


Bartlett The Bartlett window is a slightly narrower variant of the triangular window, with zero weight at both ends.

Notes for using FFT

  • Use the default dB scale for details of multiple frequencies, even if they have very different amplitudes. Use the Vrms scale to compare frequencies.
  • DC component or offset can cause incorrect magnitude values of FFT waveform. To minimize the DC component, choose AC Coupling on the source signal.
  • To reduce random noise and aliased components in repetitive or single-shot events, set the oscilloscope acquisition mode to average.

What is Nyquist frequency?

The Nyquist frequency is the highest frequency that any real-time digitizing oscilloscope can acquire without aliasing. This frequency is half of the sample rate. Frequencies above the Nyquist frequency will be under sampled, which causes aliasing. So pay more attention to the relation between the frequency being sampled and measured.

Use Vertical Position and Scale Knobs

  1. The Vertical Position knob is used to adjust the vertical positions of the waveforms.

    The analytic resolution of this control knob changes with the vertical division.

  2. The Vertical Scale knob is used to regulate the vertical resolution of the wave forms. The sensitivity of the vertical division steps as 1-2-5.

The vertical position and vertical resolution is displayed at the left bottom corner of the screen (see Figure 4-1).

In wave zoom mode, the Horizontal Position and Horizontal Scale knobs are used to adjust the horizontal position and time base of the Zoom window.

How to Set the Trigger System

Trigger determines when DSO starts to acquire data and display waveform. Once trigger is set correctly, it can convert the unstable display to meaningful waveform. When DSO starts to acquire data, it will collect enough data to draw waveform on left of trigger point. DSO continues to acquire data while waiting for trigger condition to occur. Once it detects a trigger it will acquire enough data continuously to draw the waveform on right of trigger point.

Trigger control area consists of 1 knob and 2 menu buttons.

Trigger Level: The knob that set the trigger level; push the knob and the level will be set as the vertical mid point values of the amplitude of the trigger signal.

Force: Force to create a trigger signal and the function is mainly used in “Normal” and “Single” mode.

Trigger Menu: The button that activates the trigger control menu.

Trigger Control

The oscilloscope provides two trigger types: single trigger, alternate trigger. Each type of trigger has different sub menus.

Single trigger: Use a trigger level to capture stable waveforms in two channels simultaneously.

Alternate trigger: Trigger on non-synchronized signals.

The Single Trigger, Alternate Trigger menus are described respectively as follows:

Single Trigger

Single trigger has two types: edge trigger, video trigger.

Edge Trigger: It occurs when the trigger input passes through a specified voltage level with the specified slope.

Video Trigger: Trigger on fields or lines for standard video signal.

The two trigger modes in Single Trigger are described respectively as follows:

1. Edge Trigger

An edge trigger occurs on trigger level value of the specified edge of input signal. Select Edge trigger mode to trigger on rising edge or falling edge.

Figure 6-1 Measure period and frequency value for a given signal

Example 2: Gain of a Amplifier in a Metering Circuit

The purpose of this example is to work out the Gain of an Amplifier in a Metering Circuit. First we use Oscilloscope to measure the amplitude of input signal and output signal from the circuit, then to work out the Gain by using given formulas.

Set the probe menu attenuation coefficient as 10X and that of the switch in the probe as 10X (see “How to Set the Probe Attenuation Coefficient” on P11).

Connect the oscilloscope CH1 channel with the circuit signal input end and the CH2 channel to the output end.

Figure 6-2 Waveform of Gain Measurement

Example 3: Capturing a Single Signal

It’s quite easy to use Digital Oscilloscope to capture non-periodic signal, such as a pulse and burr etc. But the common problem is how to set up a trigger if you have no knowledge of the signal? For example, if the pulse is the logic signal of a TTL level, the trigger level should be set to 2 volts and the trigger edge be set as the rising edge trigger. With various functions supported by our Oscilloscope, user can solve this problem by taking an easy approach. First to run your test using auto trigger to find out the closest trigger level and trigger type, this helps user to make few small adjustments to achieve a proper trigger level and mode. Here is how we achieve this.

The operation steps are as follows:

  1. Set the probe menu attenuation coefficient to 10X and that of the switch in the probe to 10X
    (see “How to Set the Probe Attenuation Coefficient” on P11).
  2. Adjust the Vertical
    Scale and Horizontal Scale knobs to set up a proper vertical and horizontal ranges for the signal to be observed.
  3. Push the Acquire button to display the right menu.
  4. In the right menu, select Acqu Mode as Peak Detect.
  5. Push the Trigger Menu button to display the right
    menu.
  6. In the right menu, select Type as Single.
  7. In the right menu, select Single as Edge.
  8. In the right menu, select Source as CH1.
  9. In the right menu, press Next Page, select Coupling as DC.
  10. In the right menu, select Slope as (rising).
  11. Turn the Trigger Level knob and adjust the trigger level to the roughly 50% of the signal to be measured.
  12. Check the Trigger State Indicator on the top of the screen, if it is not Ready, push down the Run/Stop button and start acquiring, wait for trigger to happen. If a signal reaches to the set trigger level, one sampling will be made and then displayed in the screen. By using this approach, a random pulse can be captured easily. For instance, if we want to find a burst burr of high amplitude, set the trigger level to a slightly higher value of the average signal level, push the Run/Stop button and wait a trigger. Once there is a burr occurring, the instrument will trigger automatically and record the waveform during the period around the trigger time. By turning the Horizontal Position knob in the horizontal control area in the panel, you can change the horizontal triggering position to obtain the negative delay, making an easy observation of the waveform before the burr occurs (see Figure 6-3).


Figure 6-3 Capturing a Single Signal

Example 4: Analyze the Details of a Signal

Noise is very common inside most of the electronic signal. To find out what’s inside the noise and reduce the level of noise is very important function our oscilloscope is capable to offer.

Noise Analysis

The level of noise sometime indicates a failure of electronic circuit. The Peak Detect functions acts an important role to help you to find out the details of these noise. Here is how we do it:

  1. Push the Acquire button to display the right
    menu.
  2. In the right menu, select Acqu Mode as Peak Detect.

The signal displayed on the screen containing some noise, by turning on Peak Detect function and changing time base to slow down the incoming signal, any peaks or burr would be detected by the function (see Figure 6-4).


Figure 6-4 Signal with Noises

Separate Noises from the Signal

When focusing on signal itself, the important thing is to reduce the noise level as lower as possible, this would enable user to have more details about the signal. The Average function offered by our Oscilloscope can help you to achieve this.

Here are the steps for how to enable Average function.

  1. Push the Acquire button to display the right menu.
  2. In the right menu, select Acqu Mode as Average.
  3. Turn the M knob and observe the waveform obtained from averaging the waveforms of different average number.

User would see a much reduced random noise level and make it easy to see more details of the signal itself. After applying Average, user can easily identify the burrs on the rising and falling edges of some part of the signal (see Figure 6-5).


Figure 6-5 Reduce Noise level by using Average function

Example 5: Application of X-Y Function

Examine the Phase Difference between Signals of two Channels

Example: Test the phase change of the signal after it passes through a circuit network.

X-Y mode is a very useful when examining the Phase shift of two related signals. This example takes you step by step to check out the phase change of the signal after it passes a specified circuit. Input signal to the circuit and output signal from circuit are used as source signals.

For the examination of the input and output of the circuit in the form of X-Y coordinate graph, please operate according to the following steps:

  1. Set the probe menu attenuation coefficient for 10X and that of the switch in the probe for 10X (see “How to Set the Probe Attenuation Coefficient” on P11).
  2. Connect the probe of channel 1 to the input of the network and that of Channel 2 to the output of the network.
  3. Push the Autoset button, with the oscilloscope turning on the signals of the two channels and displaying them in the screen.
  4. Turn the Vertical
    Scale knob, making the amplitudes of two signals equal in the rough.
  5. Push the Acquire button to display the right menu.
  6. In the right menu, select XY Mode as ON. The oscilloscope will display the input and terminal characteristics of the network in the Lissajous graph form.
  7. Turn the Vertical Scale and Vertical Position knobs, optimizing the waveform.
  8. With the elliptical oscillogram method adopted, observe and calculate the phase difference (see Figure 6-6).


Figure 6-6 Lissajous Graph

Based on the expression sin (q) =A/B or C/D, thereinto, q is the phase difference angle, and the definitions of A, B, C, and D are shown as the graph above. As a result, the phase difference angle can be obtained, namely, q =± arcsin (A/B) or ± arcsin (C/D). If the principal axis of the ellipse is in the I and III quadrants, the determined phase difference angel should be in the I and IV quadrants, that is, in the range of (0 – π /2) or (3π / 2 – 2π). If the principal axis of the ellipse is in the II and IV quadrants, the determined phase difference angle is in the II and III quadrants, that is, within the range of (π / 2 – π) or (π – 3π /2).

Example 6: Video Signal Trigger

Observe the video circuit of a television, apply the video trigger and obtain the stable video output signal display.

Video Field Trigger

For the trigger in the video field, carry out operations according to the following steps:

  1. Push the Trigger Menu button to display the right menu.
  2. In the right menu, select Type as Single.
  3. In the right menu, select Single as Video.
  4. In the right menu, select Source as CH1.
  5. In the right menu, select Modu as NTSC.
  6. In the right menu, press Next Page, select Sync as Field.
  7. Turn the Vertical Scale, Vertical Position and Horizontal Scale knobs to obtain a proper waveform display (see Figure 6-7).

7.Troubleshooting

7. Troubleshooting

  • Oscilloscope is powered on but no Display.
    • Check whether the power connection is connected properly.
    • Restart the instrument after completing the checks above.
    • If the problem persists, please contact OWON and we will be under your service.
  • After acquiring the signal, the waveform of the signal is not displayed in the screen.
    • Check whether the probe is properly connected to the signal connecting wire.
    • Check whether the signal connecting wire is correctly connected to the BNC (namely, the channel connector).
    • Check whether the probe is properly connected with the object to be measured.
    • Check whether there is any signal generated from the object to be measured (the trouble can be shot by the connection of the channel from which there is a signal generated with the channel in fault).
    • Make the signal acquisition operation again.
  • The measured voltage amplitude value is 10 times or 1/10 of the actual value.

Look at the attenuation coefficient for the input channel and the attenuation ration of the probe, to make sure they are match
(see “How to Set the Probe Attenuation Coefficient” on P11).

  • There is a waveform displayed, but it is not stable.
    • Check whether the Source item in the TRIG MODE menu is in conformity with the signal channel used in the practical application.
    • Check on the trigger Type item: The common signal chooses the Edge trigger mode for Type and the video signal the Video. If Alternate trigger is selected, both of the channel 1 and channel 2 trigger levels should be adjusted to the proper position. Only if a proper trigger mode is applied, the waveform can be displayed steadily.
  • No Display Responses to the Push-down of Run/Stop.

    Check whether Normal or Signal is chosen for Polarity in the TRIG MODE menu and the trigger level exceeds the waveform range.

    If it is, make the trigger level is centered in the screen or set the trigger mode as Auto. In addition, with the Autoset button pressed, the setting above can be completed automatically.

  • The displaying of waveform seems getting slow after increasing AVERAGE value in Acqu Mode (see “How to Set the Sampling/Display” on P27 ), or a longer duration is set in the Persist in Display (see “Persist” on P27).

    It’s normal as the Oscilloscope is working hard on many more data points.

8. Technical Specifications

Unless otherwise specified, the technical specifications applied are for the oscilloscope only, and Probes attenuation set as 10X. Only if the oscilloscope fulfills the following two conditions at first, these specification standards can be reached.

  • This instrument should run for at least 30 minutes continuously under the specified operating temperature.
  • If change of the operating temperature is up to or exceeds 5℃, do a “Self-calibration” procedure (see “How to Implement Self-calibration” on P12).

All specification standards can be fulfilled, except one(s) marked with the word “Typical”.

!

1: When the two channels are used at the same time, the ground clamps of the two probes must be connected. It is strictly forbidden to connect the ground clamps of the two probes to different potentials, especially the different potential terminals of high-power equipment or 220 v. otherwise, the oscilloscope mother board will be bumped. Because the two channels are grounded together, connecting to different potentials will lead to the short circuit of the internal ground wire of the motherboard, and all oscilloscopes are same; 

2: The BNC input of oscilloscope can withstand 400 voltage at most. It is strictly forbidden to input more than 400 voltage in the position of 1x probe

 3: The original power supply must be used It is strictly forbidden to use the power supply or USB of other devices under the Otherwise, the motherboard ground wire may be short circuited during the test

4: 100 x
probe (such as ultrasonic welding machine, ultrasonic cleaning Machine etc.) or even 1000x probe (such as high-voltage end of high-frequency transformer, coil of induction cooker, etc.) must be used to measure high-frequency and high-voltage signal.

Solemnly remind

the bandwidth of 1x probe is 5MHz, and the bandwidth of 10x probe is 100MHz.

When the measurement frequency is higher than 5MHz, the switch on the probe handle needs to be moved to 10x, and the oscilloscope also needs to be set to 10x.

Otherwise, the signal will be greatly attenuated, which is the case with all oscilloscopes.

Because the probe line of the oscilloscope itself has a capacitance as high as 100 – 300pf, which is a big capacitance for high frequency signal! The signal has been greatly attenuated when it reaches the input end of the oscilloscope through the probe, and the equivalent bandwidth is 5 MHz. Therefore, in order to match the hundreds of PF of the probe line, the input end of the probe line will be attenuated 10 times (the switch is in the 10x gear), so that the hundreds of PF capacitor is just used for impedance matching. At this time, the bandwidth is 100MHz. Note that only

probes with 100MHz bandwidth or above can be used

Capture waveform:
Capture waveform output is to capture part or the whole part of

the current displayed waveform as the output of signal generator. The captured signa l

can be saved to the system, and up to 1000 groups of captured signals can be saved.

First. click the [menu] button, the function interface will pop up on the left side of the

screen, and then locate it to the capture output] position through the navigation key

and open it on the screen Two purple boundary lines will pop up. The waveform

within the two boundary lines is the waveform segment to be captured .The word

select indicates that the boundary line is the boundary line operated by the current

knob. You can switch and select the current operation line through the [left] and

[right] keys of the navigation key. After setting the boundilry line, you can go up to

the left through the navigation key When adjusting, you can click the [slow] key to set

coarse and fine adjustment; there is a word ‘channel 1 l Channel 2’ in the middle of

the two boundary lines, which means that the current captured signal is channel 1 l

Channel 2 signal, and you can select the channel through the [up] [down] of the

navigation key; the left boundary line is marked with voltage scale, which is used to

refer to the captured wave If you want to adjust the chopping level position, you can

adjust the offset by adjusting the Y position of the channel. For example, if you

captured a DC signal and adjust the DC waveform to+ 1V position, then the output

is + 1V voltage, and adjust to – 1V, then the output is – 1V voltage; If you want to

ildjust the sa m pi i ng ¡¡m plitude of chopped wave, you can adjust the verticil l sensitivity

of the channel to scale the waveform vertically. It is recommended to first amplify the

signal amplitude to the maximum, but not to cut the top, and then capture so that the

output signal will have enough sampling data, the output waveform distortion will be

smaller. and the resolution will be higher. If you only capture a very small signal, and

then capture it Output, and then through the oscilloscope meilsurement to enlarge it,

the waveform will appear a very serious ladder phenomenon, because the sampling

is insufficient, the effective signal is too little, just like the original image is very small,

but fon::ed to enlarge, the image is bound to be fuzzy; after all the parameters are

determined, click the [OKJ key, the cut-off will be saved to the system disk

Output the captured waveform as the signal generator:
first click the [Gen] button

to open the signa l generator interface, then click the [OK] button to switch the green

selection box to the [waveform type] position, and then click the [up] and [down] in

the navigation key to switch it to ‘self definition’, then click the [Gen] button to exit

the signal generator control interface, and then click the [ M ENU] button , the function

interface will pop up on the left side of the screen, and then navigate it to the [output

browsing] position and open it All saved captured signals will be listed on the screen,

and then the selection box will be moved to the desired signal position through the

navigation key. Click the [OKJ key, and the Yellow word ‘output’ will pop up in the

upper left corner of the w¡¡veform, which means that the current custom sign¡¡I

selection bit of the waveform Then click [menu] to exit, and the waveform output by

the signal generator is the captured signal. It should be noted that if the captured

waveform is a single cycle waveform, that is, there is only one cycle in the two bound

ary lines, then the output frequency of the signal generator is equal to the frequency

set by the signal generator. If the captured waveform frequency contains N cycles,

then the output frequency of the signal generator is n times of the set frequency, and

the trigger voltage should be adjusted to the minimum edge of the waveform In

other words, the intersection paint between the waveform and the trigger line is the

least:. otherwise the displayed frequency may be several times of the actual frequency,

because the calculated frequency of the oscilloscope is the frequency obtilined by

calculating the number of edges from the trigger line, so the wrong edge of the

positioning may also lead to frequency doubling

Analysis of common problems

1: Why can’t I turn on the machine after receiving it?

Answer: please check whether the power cord is connected to the oscilloscope and

whether the socket is powered. If all are correct. please replace a mobile phone

charging head and test it. If it is still unable to start. please contact customer service for replacement

2: Why Is there no waveform In the test, only one line on the screen Is still?

Answer: please check whether the pause has been pressed. If not. press the [auto]

button once. If not. it may be a problem that the signal source has no signal output.

or the probe line may be short circuited or open circuit. Please check whether the

probe and signal source are normal with multimeter

3: Why is the voltage value data 0?

Answer: please adjust the vertical sensitivity and time base (sampling rate), or press

[auto] screen to display at least a clear and complete periodic waveform, and the top

and bottom of the waveform should be displayed on the screen completely without

cutting the top. The voltage value data is correct at this time

4: Why is the frequency value data 0?

Answer: first. it is necessary to ensure that the trigger mode is auto automatic triggering.

if it is still O in auto mode, press [auto] button once. At least a clear and complete

periodic waveform is displayed on the screen, and the waveform should be triggered

(the green arrow indicates that the position is fixed between the wave shape and the

wave shape without shaking). The data of frequency value is correct

5: Why is the duty cycle 0?

Answer: first. it is necessary to ensure that the trigger mode is auto automatic triggering.

If it is still O in auto mode, it may be that the trigger is not adjusted to the

waveform. After the trigger line is adjusted to the waveform, the waveform will be

fixed. Moreover, the data of duty cycle will be correct only after at least one clear

periodic waveform is displayed on the screen

6: Why is AC coupling the same as DC coupling waveform?

Answer: if the input signal is a symmetrical AC signal (such as domestic 220V}, the AC

coupling or DC coupling waveform are the same. If it is an asymmetric AC signal or a

DC pulse signal, the waveform will move up and down when the coupling is switched

7: Why does the wavefonn run up and down when testing the signal, and can’t

see the wavefonn only see multiple online and offline beats?

Answer: set trigger mode to auto auto trigger, and then press [auto] button once. If it

is not solved, the clamp on the probe may not be grounded or the probe clamp end

is open circuit. Please check whether the probe is normal with multimeter

8: Why does the test wavefonn shake around and cannot be futed?

Answer: the trig g e r voltage needs to be adjusted, this is, the green arrow on the right

needs to adjust the green indicator to the top and bottom of the waveform. The

waveform is triggered and fixed, or the setting menu is entered to turn on “automatic

50%.’

9: Why can’t we capture sudden pulse waves or digital logic signals?

Answer: adjust the trigger mode to ‘Normal” or “Single’, then adjust the trigger

voltage and time base and vertical sensitivity, and finally touch the pause.

1 O: Why does trigger voltage regulation not respond?

Answer: click menu – Auto 50% to dose it

11: Why do you measure a battery or other DC voltage with out waveform?

Answer: battery voltage signal is stable DC signal, there is no curve waveform, in DC

coupled mode, and then adjust vertical sensitivity, there will be an upward or

downward offset straight line waveform, if it is AC coupling, no matter how to adjust.

there is no waveform.

12: why do we measure the 220V power frequency 50Hz wave?

Answer: if the oscilloscope displays SOHz low frequency signal, the sampling rate

needs to be very low to capture SOHz signal. If the sampling r11te is low, the oscilloscope

will enter the waiting, so it will show “card change’. All oscilloscopes in the

world will change their cards when measuring SOHz signals, not because the oscilloscope

itseIf is stuck

13: Why is the peak value of VPP more than 600 V and not 220V or 31 OV when

measuring the voltage wave form of the city power?

Answer: the city power 220V is a symmetrical AC signal, the positive peak voltage

(maximum value) is +310v, the negative peak voltage (minimum value) is -310v, sothe

peak value is 620V, the switching parameter is the effective value. At this time, it

is often said that the voltage of 220V, the effective value of the municipal voltage

fluctuates from 180 to 260V, so the peak VPP is in the range of 507-733v

14: Why is the measured voltage of 220V not a standard sine wave, there is

distortion?

Answer: in the municipal power grid, there are generally pollution, and there are more

high-order harmonic components. These harmonies will show a distorted sine wave

and normal phenomenon when superimposed on the sine wave. Generally, the shape

of the city electric wave is distorted, and it is irrelevant to the oscilloscope itself

15: Why is there a large offset between the baseline (OV) and the left arrow COV

indication} on the screen under no 5ignal input?

Answer: first pull out the probe, then click [menu] button, navigate to [baseline

calibration], then press OK, and wait for baseline calibration to complete, the baseline

and arrow coincide

16: Why is the signal voltage above 5MHz measured attenuated significantly, and

the bandwidth is only 5MHz?

Answer: when measuring 5MHz or more, it is necessary to move the probe to 10x

gear and the oscilloscope should be set to 1 Ox input mode, because the probe line of

the oscilloscope has a capacitance of up to 100-300pf, which is a big capacitance for

high frequency signal! The signal has been greatly attenuated when it reaches the

input end of the oscilloscope through the probe, and the equivalent bandwidth is

SMHz. So in order to match hundreds of PF of probe line, it will be decayed 1 O times

at the input end of probe line (switch is in 10x), so that these hundreds of PF capacitors

are just used for impedance matching. At this time, the bandwidth is 100MHz.

Note that only the supporting 100 MHz probe can be used

2: The oscilloscope probe multiplier is set to the 1x gear (default is 1x after startup)

3: Oscilloscope coupling mode is set to AC coupling mode

4: Insert the probe and move the switch on the probe handle to the 1x position

5: Connect the probe clip and probe to two signal lines of communication line,

regardless of positive and negative. If there are multiple signal lines, you need to

judge the signal line in advance, or try to select two of them for testing several times

6: Make sure that there is a communication signal on the communication line at this

time

7: Adjust the vertical sensitivity to 50mV

8: Time base to 20us

9: Press [50%] once

10: When there is communication signal on the communication line, the oscilloscope

will capture and display it on the screen. if it can not be captured, it is necessary to try

to ad just the time base (1 ms-100ms) and trigger voyage {green arrow) for multiple

times

Infrared remote receiver measurement

Gear selection: the infrared remote control signal is generally 3-5v, and the maximum

test for 1x gear is 40V, so it is enough to test the vehicle communication signal signa l

with the 1x gear {both the probe and oscilloscope are set to the 1x gear).

1: Firstly, the oscilloscope is set to normal trigger mode {auto trigger mode is

default after startup). Normal trigger mode is specially used to measure the non

periodic digital signal. If the auto trigger mode is not able to grasp the non periodic

signal, the infrared remote control signal belongs to the non periodic digital coding

signal

2: The oscilloscope probe multiplier is set to the 1x gear (default is 1x after startup)

3: Oscilloscope coupling mode is set to DC coupling mode

4: Insert the probe and move the switch on the probe handle to the 1x position

5: Connect the probe clip to the ground end (negative) of the infrared receiver board,

and the probe to the data pin of the infrared receiver

6: Adjust the vertical sensitivity to 500mv

7: Time base to 20us

8: Tum the trigger red arrow position to the left yellow arrow position and approximately

1 large grid distance

9: At this time, the infrared receive hair signal is sent by remate control, and the

waveform will appear on the oscilloscope

Measurement of amplification circuit with sensors (temperature, humidity,

pressure, hall, etc.)

Gear selection: generally, the sensor signal is relatively weak, about a few millivolts.

This small signal cannot be detected directly by oscilloscope. There is signal amplification

part on the main board of this sensor. When the output end of the amplifier is

found, the oscilloscope can measure the signal after being enlarged. It can be used in

the 1x gear (both probe and oscilloscope are set to the 1x gear)

1: First set the oscilloscope to auto trigger mode (the default is auto trigger mode

after startup)

2: The oscilloscope probe multipliers is set to the 1x gear (default is 1x after startup)

3: Oscilloscope coupling mode is set to DC coupling mode

4: Insert the probe and move the switch on the probe handle to the 1x position

5: Connect the probe clip to the ground end of the sensor motherboard (negative

power supply), find the output end of the amplification part, and connect the probe

to the output end

6: Adjust the vertical sensitivity to 50 mV

7: Adjust the time base to 500ms and enter the slow scan mode of large time base

8: Move baseline to bottom

9: If the signal line appears at the top, the vertical sensitivity shall be reduced, which

is 100mV, 200mV, 500mv, etc. in turn, when the updated signal on the right starts not

at the top (generally the best in the middle of the upper and lower part), the signal

received by the sensor can be detected.
