When using the probe, keep your fingers behind the guard on the probe body to avoid
electric shock. 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 start any measurements.
Manual Probe Compensation
Upon the first connection of a probe and an input channel, you should manually perform
this adjustment to match the probe to the input channel. Uncompensated or
miscompensated probes may lead to errors or faults in measurement. To adjust the probe
compensation, follow the steps below.
1. Press Channel button to enter channel setting menu, Set the Probe option

attenuation in the channel menu to 10X. Set the switch on the probe to 10X and
connect the probe to Channel 1 on the oscilloscope. If you use the probe hook-tip,
ensure it is firmly inserted onto the probe. Attach the probe tip to the generator output
connector (recommended input ~2V@1KHz peak-peak square wave), and connect
the reference lead to the ground of the generator. Press the [Auto] button.
2. Check the shape of the displayed waveform.
3. If necessary, use a nonmetallic screwdriver to adjust the variable capacity of your
probe until the shape of the waveform turns to be the same as the above figure.
Repeat this step as necessary. See the figure below for the way of adjustment.
Probe Attenuation Setting
Probes are of various attenuation factors which affect the vertical scale of the signal. The
Probe Check function is used to verify if the Probe attenuation option matches the
attenuation of the probe.
You can press Channel button to enter the channel setting menu and select CH1, and
select the Probe option that matches the attenuation factor of your probe.
Make sure that the Attenuation switch on the probe matches the Probe option in the
oscilloscope. Switch settings are 1X and 10X.

Trigger System
The trigger determines when the oscilloscope begins to acquire data and display a
waveform. Once a trigger is properly set up, the oscilloscope can convert unstable
displays or blank screens to meaningful waveforms.
The triggering mode of this series oscilloscope is edge trigger.
Edge trigger distinguishes the trigger points by seeking the specified edge (rising, falling,
rising & falling) and trigger level.

Trigger Source: Select the trigger source signal to CH1 or CH2. You can use the trigger
source options to select the signal that the oscilloscope uses as a trigger.
Trigger Mode: You can select the Auto or Normal mode to define how the oscilloscope
acquires data when it does not detect a trigger condition. Auto Mode performs the
acquisition freely in absence of valid trigger. It allows the generation of untriggered
waveforms with the time base set to 100ms/div or slower. Normal Mode updates the
displayed waveforms only when the oscilloscope detects a valid trigger condition. Before
this update, the oscilloscope still displays the old waveforms. This mode shall be used
when you want to only view the effectively triggered waveforms. In this mode, the
oscilloscope displays waveforms only after the first trigger.
Trigger Level: It sets the amplitude level the signal must cross to cause an acquisition
when using the Edge or Pulse Width trigger. Press Trig button to enter, and press Up or
Down direction keys to change the trigger level.
Force Trigger: Used to complete an acquisition regardless of an adequate trigger signal.
This button becomes useless if the acquisition is already stopped.

Measurement
Scale measurement
Graticule: This method allows you to make a quick, visual estimate and take a simple
measurement through the graticule divisions and the scale factor.
For example, you can take simple measurements by counting the major and minor
graticule divisions involved and multiplying by the scale factor. If you counted 6 major
vertical graticule divisions between the minimum and maximum values of a waveform and
knew you had a scale factor of 50mV/division, you could easily calculate your
peak-to-peak voltage as follows:
6 divisions x 50mV/division = 300mV.
