•SCOPE: Software trigger in automatic measurement (§. IV - 69)
•METER: Recording of an event instant (§. V - 102)
•FTP client (§. IV - 88)
This oscilloscope also offers the following modes:
•Multimeter mode
•Harmonic Analyzer mode
•Recorder mode
•Other possible options, see p. 92 ÆView the site regularly.
It complies with safety standard NF EN 61010-1 (2001), double insulation,
relative to electronic measuring instruments.
For optimum service, read this manual carefully and comply with the operating
precautions.
Non-compliance with the warnings and/or operating instructions might damage
the instrument and/or its components and could prove dangerous for the user.
Precautions and
safety measures
•This instrument has been designed for use:
- indoors
- in an environment with pollution level 2,
- at an altitude of less than 2000 m,
- at a temperature between 0°C and 40°C
- with relative humidity of less than 80% up to 31°C.
•The safety of any system integrating the apparatus concerns the
responsibility of the assembler of the system.
•It can be used for measurements on circuits 600V CAT III, 1000V CAT II in
relation to earth and can be powered by a 98 to 264V AC power network, with an
external power supply. However, some accessories can lead you to use this
instrument on circuits of lower voltage and category. Conform the given values
when connecting the accessory.

General instructions (cont'd)
Definition of
measurement
categories
CAT I: CAT I circuits are circuits protected by low level transient over-voltage
limiters
Example: protected electronic circuits
CAT II: CAT II circuits are household or similar appliance power circuits, which
may carry medium-level transient over-voltage.
Example: household appliance and portable tool power supplies
CAT III: CAT III circuits are high-power appliance power circuits, which may
carry high-level transient over-voltage.
Example: industrial machinery or instrument power supplies
CAT IV: CAT IV circuits are circuits which can carry very substantial transient
over-voltage.
Example: power feeders
Precautions and
safety measures
(cont’d)
before use •Comply with environmental and storage conditions.
•External power supply: it must be connected to the instrument and to the
mains network (from 98 to 264 VAC). Make sure that it is in good working
conditions.
during use •Read carefully all the notes preceded by the symbol .
•The instrument power supply is equipped with an electronic protection
system which is reset automatically when the fault is eliminated.
•Be sure not to obstruct the ventilation holes.
•As a safety measure, use only suitable cords and accessories supplied with
the instrument or approved by the manufacturer.

Description of the instrument
SCOPIX Oscilloscopes II - 7
Description of the instrument
This manual describes the operation of an OX 7104-CII oscilloscope.
OX 7104-CII: - adjustment of the 4 channels is accessible by the opposite keys.
OX 7102-CII - adjustment of the 2 channels is accessible by the opposite keys.
Presentation This instrument is part of our range of portable oscilloscopes.
Its special feature is that it groups 4 instruments into one:
•a digital oscilloscope for laboratory use, intended for the analysis of the
signals encountered in electronics and electrical engineering
•a 4000-count multimeter
•a "harmonic" analyzer, for breaking down 2 signals (or 4: OX 7104-CII)
simultaneously with their fundamental and their first 31 harmonics (option)
•a recorder, designed to capture single or slow signals (option)
All the channels are insulated from one another for measurements on 600V
CAT III, 1000V CAT II installations with appropriated PROBIX accessories
while complying with the standard IEC 61010-1 (2001).
The instrument works with a constant acquisition depth of 2500 counts.
Memory management is organized using a "Windows®"-type file system.
A large LCD screen is used to view the signals applied, along with all the
settings.
The main control functions are directly accessible using the keys on the front
panel and can be modified using a touch-sensitive pad with the stylus
supplied.
A graphical interface similar to a PC's is used to:
•select the advanced functions by means of drop-down menus and the
touch-sensitive pad
•act directly on the objects (curves, cursors, etc.) displayed on the screen.
This means that the settings can be modified.
This instrument is completed by RS232, ETHERNET and CENTRONICS
communication interfaces.
