All specifications apply to 10X probe and ADS1000 Digital Storage Oscilloscopes. To verify
that the oscilloscope meets specifications, the oscilloscope must first meet the following
conditions:
● The oscilloscope must have been operating continuously for thirty minutes within the
specified operating temperature.
● You must perform the Do Self Cal operation, accessible through the Utility menu, if the
operating temperature changes by more than 5° C.
● The oscilloscope must be within the factory calibration interval

General Inspecting
After receiving a new ADS1000 series oscilloscope, please inspect the instrument as follows:
1．
．．
．Inspect 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.
2．
．．
．Inspect the whole instrument.
In case there is any mechanical damage or defect, or the instrument does not operate properly
or fails performance tests, notify the ATTEN Sales Representative.
If the shipping container is damaged, or the cushioning materials show signs of stress, notify
the carrier as well as the ATTEN Sales Department. Keep the shipping materials for
carrier’s inspection.
3．
．．
．Check the accessories.
Accessories supplied with the instrument are listed below. If the contents are incomplete or
damaged, notify the ATTEN Sales Representative.
Standard Accessories:
● Two pieces 1:1,(10:1) Passive Probes
● An User Manual
● A Certification
● A Guaranty Card
● An CD(including EasyScope3.0 computer software system)
● A Power Cord that fits the standard of destination country
● An USB Cable

Service Manual
Power-On Inspection
Normal operating voltage for ADS1000CA series digital oscilloscope is the range of 100-240VRMS
with the frequency from 45Hz to 440Hz. Connect one terminal of the power cord to the socket in
left side of the oscilloscope and the other to the power source.
Picture 2-1 Connect power line
Press the button on top of oscilloscope, some keys on the front panel will be lighted for about 6
seconds until the normal display appears. And then you can operate the oscilloscope.
After power-on, the oscilloscope performs the self test automatically. After the test, press the
“DEFAULT/SETUP” button, then recall the Factory settings.
Picture 2-2 Power-On Inspecting

Service Manual
Probe Compensation
You are suggested to compensate probe before first using so as to match it to the input channel.
Measurement error may generate without the compensation or because of deviation
compensation. To compensate the probe, follow the steps below.
1．Set the probe option attenuation in the channel menu to 10X. Set the switch to 10X on the
probe.
Picture 2-3 Set the attenuation switch and probe scale
2．Connect the probe to channel 1 on the oscilloscope, and attach the probe tip to the PROBE
COMP
Picture 2-4 Connect PROBE COMP
3．Press AUTO. Within a few seconds, a square wave will be displayed (1 kHz,
approximately 3 V pk-pk). Check if the compensation is correct according to the
shape of waveform.
Under compensated Compensated correctly Over compensated
Picture 2-5 Check the shape
4．If necessary, adjust your probe. Repeat as necessary.

Service Manual
Auto Setup
ADS1000 Series Digital Storage Oscilloscopes have auto setup function, which can identify the
type of waveform and adjust controls to produce a usable display of the input signal.
AUTO is the auto setup button.
Table2-1Auto setup function menu:
Option Introduction
（Multi-cycle
sine）
Auto set the screen and display several cycle
signal.
（Single-cycle
sine）
Set the screen and auto display single cycle signal.
（Rising
edge）
Auto set and show the rising time.
（Falling
edge）
Auto set and show the falling time.
（Undo
Setup）
Causes the oscilloscope to recall the previous
setup.
There are four measure parameter will be displayed in the screen. Auto set determines the trigger
source based on the following conditions:
●If multiple channels have signals, channel with the lowest frequency signal.
●The input frequency must be higher than 10Hz, and the amplitude must be higher than
8MV
