Chapter 1 Accidence
ADS1000 Series Digital Storage Oscilloscope is mini-type and portable bench type
instruments, which could be used for measuring as the GND voltage.
This Chapter shows you how to operate following tasks:
ƹAccidence of the front panel and user interface
ƹSimple checking of functions
ƹProbe compensation
ƹMatching probes attenuation coefficient

1.1 Accidence of the front panel and user interface
It is important for you to understand the DSO’s front panel before operating it. The
following contents are the brief introduction for the front panel function, which is useful
to be familiar with the operation of the ADS1000 series Digital Storage Oscilloscope in
short time.
ADS1000 series oscilloscopes provides an easy-to-use front panel to convenience
users to operate them, the panel contains knobs and buttons. There is a list of five ashen
buttons as menu operational buttons on the right of display screen. You can set different
options of the current menu in virtue of them. Other buttons are function buttons; you can
enter different function menus or obtain given function application in virtue of them.

1. Trigger status
Armed. The oscilloscope is acquiring pre-trigger data. All triggers are ignored in
this state.
Ready. All pre-trigger data has been acquired and the oscilloscope is ready to accept a
trigger.
Trig’d. The oscilloscope has seen a trigger and is acquiring the posttrigger data.
Stop. The oscilloscope has stopped acquiring waveform data.
Auto. The oscilloscope is in auto mode and is acquiring waveforms in the absence of
triggers.
Scan. The oscilloscope is acquiring and displaying waveform data continuously in scan
mode.
2. display the position of the present waveform window
3. Marker shows horizontal trigger position. Turn the HORIZONTAL POSITION
knob to adjust the position of the marker.
4 “Print Key” option is set to “Print Picture”.

“Print Key” option is set to “Save Picture”.
5. “Back USB” option is set to “Computer”.
“Back USB” option is set to “Printer”.
6. Show the waveform’s channel position.
7. On-screen markers show the ground reference points of the displayed waveforms. If
there is no marker, the channel is not displayed.. Display signal source.
8. Signal Coupling symbol.
9. Readout shows the vertical factor of the channels.
10. “B” icon shows that bandwidth function is open.
11. Readout shows the main time base setting.
12. Readout shows window time base setting if it is in use.
13. Icon shows the trigger type for the triggering

1.2 Function checking
When you check whether or not the oscilloscope could work smoothly, please
operate as following:
1. Power On the oscilloscope.
Press “DEFAULT SETUP” to show the result of the self check. The probe default
attenuation is 1X.
Picture 1- 3
2. Set the switch to 1X on the probe and connect the probe to channel 1 on the
oscilloscope. To do this, align the slot in the probe connector with the key on the CH 1
BNC, push to connect, and twist to the right to lock the probe in place. Connect the
probe tip and reference lead to the PROBE COMP connectors
Picture 1-4
3ˊPress “AUTO” to show the 1 KHz frequency and about 3V peak-peak square wave in
couple seconds

Picture 1-5
4. Press “CH1” two times to cancel the channel 1, Press“CH2” to change screen into
channel 2, reset the channel 2 as step 2 and 3.

1.3 Probe
1.3.1 Probe Safety
A guard around the probe body provides a finger barrier for protection from
electric shock.
Picture 1-6
Connect the probe to the oscilloscope and connect the ground terminal to ground
before you take any measurements.
Note˖ƔTo avoid electric shock when using the probe, keep fingers behind the guard
on the probe body.
ƔTo avoid electric shock while using the probe, do not touch metallic
portions of the probe head while it is connected to a voltage source.
Connect the probe to the oscilloscope and connect the ground terminal to
ground before you take any measurements.

1.3.2 Probe Compensation
As an alternative method to Probe Check, you can manually perform this
adjustment to match your probe to the input channel.
Picture1-7
1.Set the Probe option attenuation in the channel menu to 10X. Set the switch to 10X
on the probe and connect the probe to channel 1 on the oscilloscope. If you use the
probe hook-tip, ensure a proper connection by firmly inserting the tip onto the
probe.
2. Attach the probe tip to the PROBE COMP3V connector and the reference lead
to the PROBE COMP Ground connector. Display the channel and then push the
“AUTO” button.
3. Check the shape of the displayed waveform.
Over compensated Compensated correctly under compensated
Picture 1-8
4. If necessary, adjust your probe. Repeat as necessary.
8
1.3.3 Probe Attenuation Setting
Probes are available with various attenuation factors which affect the vertical
scale of the signal. The Probe Check function verifies that the Probe attenuation
option matches the attenuation of the probe.
You can push a vertical menu button (such as the CH 1 MENU button), and
select the Probe option that matches the attenuation factor of your probe.
Note. The default setting for the Probe option is 1X.
Be sure that the attenuation switch on the probe matches the Probe option in the
oscilloscope. Switch settings are 1X and 10X.
Note. When the attenuation switch is set to 1X, the probe limits the bandwidth of the
oscilloscope to 10MHz. To use the full bandwidth of the oscilloscope, be sure to set the
switch to 10X
