General Check
When you have got a new DSO8000 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.
■ 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.
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 not only 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 adapter designed for your scope meter only. Use a power source that
delivers 100 to 240 VACRMS, 50Hz. Turn on the scope meter.
2. Input a signal to a channel.
Set the attenuation switch on the probe to X10 and connect the probe to CH1 on the
scope meter.
To do this:
■ Align the slot in the probe connector with the key on the CH1 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 OUTPUT port.(Before this,you must press
OSC/DMM key to Enter Waveform Generator mode and output a 1kHz 2V peak -to-peak
square wave.And then Enter the Oscilloscope mode.)
Set the probe attenuation of the scope meter to 10X.To do this, push CH1→Probe→10X
.
Figure 1-5 Set the probe
3. Push the AUTO button. Within a few seconds, a square wave will display
(approximately 1 kHz 2 V peak- to- peak).
Turn off CH1 and turn on CH2, repeat steps 2 and 3.


8060
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 X10 on the probe and connect it to CH1 of the scope meter.
When usiing 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
Over compensated


DSO8000 SERIES
Under 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 scope meter.
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.
To display a signal automatically
The scope meter 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. The scope meter
has two-channels input . Connect a signal to the CH1 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 functions. The introduction
does not cover all of the capabilities of the scope 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 on. The welcome picture will display on the screen when the system nishes Self-
checking.
The scope meter is powered on in its last setup conguration.

1. Change the vertical setup and notice that each change affects the
status bar differently.
■ Change the vertical sensitivity with or button and notice the change in the
status bar.
2. Move the signal vertically.
■ The / button moves the signal vertically. Also notice that the channel symbol
on the left side of the display moves in conjunction with the button.
To set up the horizontal system
1. Change the time base.



■ The or button changes the time base in a 1-2-5 step sequence, and displays
thevalue in the status bar.
2. Move signal horizontally.
■ The or button moves displayed signal horizontally on waveform window. It sets
the trigger point position.
Set up the trigger system
1. Change the trigger Level
■ The or button changes the trigger level. The trigger level value is displayed
at the top-right of the screen and a line is displayed showing the location of the trigger
level.
2. Change the trigger setup and notice these changes in the status bar.
■ Press TRIG button in the key panel.Choose one key from F1 to F5 and press it to
change function setting.
