■ General Check
■ Functional Check
■ The User Interface
■ Input Connections
■ To compensate probes
■ To display a signal automatically
■ Using the Scope Meter
General Check
When you have got a new Protek1000 series scope meter, it is suggested that you
should perform a general inspection on the instrument according to the following steps:
■ Check 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.
■ Check the accessories:
Accessories supplied with the instrument are listed in “Accessories” in this guide. If the
contents are incomplete or damaged，please notify our distributor at your local area or
the overseas sales dept. of GSI.
■ Check the instrument:
In case there is any mechanical damage or defect, or the instrument does not operate
properly or fails performance tests, please notify our distributor at your local area or the
overseas sales dept. of GSI.
User’s Interface
The rst thing to do with a new scope meter is to know its front panel. This chapter
helps to be familiar with the layout of the keys and how to use them. Read this chapter
carefully before further operations.
Front Panel (Figure 1-1):
The buttons allow you to use some of the functions directly but also bring up the manual
keys on the screen, which enable the access to many measurement features associated
with advanced functions, mathematics, and reference or to run control features.

Function Check
Perform this quick functional check to verify that your scope meter is operating correctly.
1. Turn on the instrument.
Use the power cords designed for your scope meter only. Use a power source that
delivers 100 to 240 VACRMS, 50Hz. Turn on the scope meter.
WARNNING: To avoid electric shock, be sure the scope meter is properly grounded.
2. Input a signal to a channel
Set the attenuation switch on the probe to 10X and connect the probe to Channel 1 on
the scope meter.
To do this:
■ Align the slot in the probe connector with the key on the CH 1 BNC connector.
■ Push to connect, and twist to the right to lock the probe in place.
■ Attach the probe tip and ground lead to the PROBE COMP connector.
Set the probe attenuation of the scope meter to 10X.To do this, push CH1→Probe→10X.
Figure 1-5
Set the probe
Push the AUTO button. Within a few seconds, a square wave will display
(approximately 1 kHz 2 V peak- to- peak).
Turn off Channel 1 and turn on Channel 2, repeat steps 2 and 3.
1000MENUAL.indd 12 2009-04-06 �� 9:06:53


To compensate probes
Perform this adjustment to match the characteristics of the probe and the channel input.
This should be performed whenever attaching a probe to any input channel the rst time.
1. From CH1 menu, set the Probe attenuation to 10X (press CH1→Probe→10X).
Set the switch to 10X on the probe and connect it to CH1 of the scope meter.
When using the probe hook-tip, insert the tip onto the probe rmly to ensure proper
connection.
Attach the probe tip to the Probe compensator connector and the reference lead to the
ground pin, Select CH1, and then press AUTO.
2. Check the shape of the displayed waveform.
Correctly Compensated

3. If necessary, use a non-metallic tool to adjust the trimmer capacitor of the probe for
the attest square wave being displayed on the oscilloscope.
4. Repeat if necessary.
WARNNING: To avoid electric shock while using the probe, be sure the perfection of
the insulated cable, and do not touch the metallic portions of the probe head while it is
connected with a voltage source.
1000MENUAL.indd 14 2009-04-06 �� 9:06:54


To display a signal automatically
Protek1000 Series has an Auto feature that automatically sets up the scope meter to
best display the input signal. Using Auto requires signals with a frequency greater than
or equal to 50 Hz and a duty cycle greater than 1%.
Press the AUTO button, the scope meter turns on and scales all channels that have
signals applied, and it selects a time base range based on the trigger source. The trigger
source selected is the lowest numbered input that has a signal applied.
Protek1000 Series scope meters have two-channels input and an external trigger input.
Connect a signal to the channel 1 input.
1. Connect a signal to the scope meter.
2. Press AUTO.
The scope meter may change the current setting to display the signal. It will
automatically adjust the vertical and horizontal scaling, the trigger coupling, type,
position, slope, level, and mode settings.
Using the Scope Meter
This part provides a step-by-step introduction to the scope meter functions. The
introduction does not cover all of the capabilities of the scope meter functions but gives
basic examples to show how to use the menus and perform basic operations.
Turn on the scope meter
Connect scope meter to AC power via a power adapter. (The scope meter can still work
with built-in Li-ion battery even without AC power supply.)
Turn the scope meter on by pressing down the power on/off key.
The instrument then performs Self-checking after power is on. The welcome picture will
display on the screen when the system nishes Self-checking.
The scope meter is powered up in its last setup conguration.
