This symbol adjacent to another symbol, terminal or operating device indicates that the
operator must refer to an explanation in the Operating Instructions to avoid personal injury
or damage to the meter.
WARNING This WARNING symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION This CAUTION symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not
avoided, may result damage to the product.
This symbol advises the user that the terminal(s) so marked must not be connected to a
circuit point at which the voltage with respect to earth ground exceeds (in this case) 1000
VAC or VDC.
This symbol adjacent to one or more terminals identifies them as being associated with
ranges that may, in normal use, be subjected to particularly hazardous voltages. For
maximum safety, the meter and its test leads should not be handled when these terminals
are energized.
This symbol indicates that a device is protected throughout by double insulation or

5-16.Measuring AC and DC Signals
The Meter is capable of displaying both AC and DC signal components (voltage or current)
as two separate readings or one AC+DC(RMS) value combined. As shown in Figure , the
Meter displays ac and dc combinations two ways: DC displayed over AC (DC,AC), and AC
combined with dc (AC+DC). Select one of these three displays using the Function and Mode
menu. With the rotary switch set to V, mV, A, mA,or uA, press the soft key labeled Menu.
Move the menu selector to the menu item labeled AC+DC. At this point, three different soft key
labels indicate AC+DC (F1),and DC,AC (F2). Press the soft key that presents these two
signals as needed. While in any of the three AC+DC modes, peak measurements, frequency,
duty cycle, relative %, and period measurements are not allowed. In addition to these modes,
MIN MAX, relative.
5-17.Capturing Minimum and Maximum Values
The MAX MIN Record mode captures minimum, average, and maximum input values. When the
input goes below the recorded minimum value or above the recorded maximum value, the
Meter beeps and records the new value. The Meter stores the elapsed time since the recording
session was started at the same time. The MAX MIN mode also calculates an average of all
readings taken since the MAX MIN mode was activated. This mode is for capturing intermittent
readings,recording minimum and maximum readings unattended, or recording readings while
equipment operation precludes watching the Meter. The MIN MAX mode is best for recording
power supply surges, inrush currents, and finding intermittent failures. Response time is the
length of time an input must stayat a new value to be captured as a possible new minimumor
maximum value.
To activate the MAX MIN mode, press MAX MIN. As shown in Figure, the Meter displays e
at the top of the measurement page, and the MAX MIN start date and time along the bottom of the
page. In addition, the recorded maximum, average, and minimum values appear in the secondary
display with their respective elapsed times.
To stop a MIN MAX recording session, press
the softkey labeled Stop. The summary
information in the display freezes, and the
softkeys change function to allow saving
the collected data. Pressing the softkey
labeled Close exits the MIN MAX record
session without saving the collected data.
To save the MIN MAX screen data, the MIN MAX session must be ended by pressing the
softkey labeled Stop. Next, press the softkey labeled Save.A dialog box openswhere the
default saved name can be selected or anothername assigned. the softkey labeled Save to
store. Pressing the softkey labeled Restart while MIN MAX is running stops the MIN MAX
session, discards all MIN MAXdata, and immediately starts a new MIN MAX recording session.
5-18.Capturing Peak Values
To activate the peak mode, press the softkey
labeled Menu.Move the menu selector next
to the menu item labeledPeak, CF or Peak.
Press the softkey labeled Peak to startthe
peak recording session.
5-19.Relative Values
To activate the peak mode, press the softkey labeled Menu. Move the menu selector next to the
menu item labeled REL or Peak. Press the softkey labeled REL to start the peak recording session.
If the Meter is already in the relative function, pressing Rel% causes the Meter to turn off relative
and display relative percent.
5-20.Low Pass Filter
The Meter is equipped with an ac low pass
filter. When measuring AC voltage, press the
softkey labeled Menu to open the function
menu, and move the menu selector to the
LO item. Next, press the softkey labeled LO
to toggle the low pass filter mode.
5-21.Hold and AutoHold Mode
To freeze the display for any function, press
key HOLD.
Pressing the softkey labeled AutoHOLD
activates AutoHold if the Meter is not in the
Peak, MIN MAX, or Record modes. AutoHold
operation monitors the input signal and updates the display and, if enabled, sounds the beeper,
whenever a new stable measurement is detected. A stable measurement is one that does not
vary more than a selected adjustable percentage (AutoHold threshold) for at least one second.
The Meter filtersout open lead conditions so the Meter leads can be moved between test
points without triggering a display update.

Summary
The manual introduces operation of information of Digital Oscilloscope which includes the
following chapters:
•"Introduction"presents the front panel, user interface, function check and probe of the
oscilloscope.
•"Function introduction and operation" makes a detailed introduction of oscilloscope function
and operation.
•"Application example: includes many examples of testing, for readers’ reference.
•"Appendix 1: daily maintenance and cleaning" briefly presents how to maintain the
oscilloscope.
•"Appendix 2: specifications" details the specifications of Digital Oscilloscope.
1.Introduction
Digital Oscilloscope is a small and handy portable device, which can measure by taking
suspension ground voltage as reference. Waterproof function, can be used in mobile state.
This section presents how to accomplish the following works:
•Get the general knowledge of front panel and user interface of Digital Oscilloscope.
•Brief function check.
1-1 General knowledge of front panel and user interface of Digital Oscilloscope.
Before operating Digital Oscilloscope, need to know the front operational panel of the
oscilloscope. The following content makes a brief description and introduction of operation
procedures and functions of the meter front panel, enable the user to be familiar with the meter
in minimal time.
Digital Oscilloscope provides a simple but with clear function front
panel, to make sure the convenience of basic operation to user. The
front panel includes 4 function keys (F1-F4), 4 direction keys,4
selection keys(HOLD,MODE,AUTO,REC), user can enter into different
functional menus or directly obtain specific function applications by
using these keys.

1 2 Brief function examination
Perform a fast function examination to test and verify if the
oscilloscope works well or not. Please proceed as follows:
1.Turn the knob, turn on the oscilloscope power.
2.Connect the oscilloscope to signal source. Various AC signal
can be adopted, including 110V/220V AC power.
3.Press "AUTO". Corresponding frequency and peak
waveform can be detected in several seconds.
4.If connect to 110V/220V AC power, press " " directly
indicating 100V/div, press " " or " " indicating 1KSa/s,
alternating sine wave can be observed.
1-3 Probe and connector
1-3-1 Safety of probe and connector
The protective device of probe and connector main part prevents fingers from electric shock.
Picture 1-6
Before any measurement, connect the probe and the connector with the oscilloscope.
Note:
•To avoid electric shock while using the probe, keep the fingers on the back of protective
device of the probe main part.

•To avoid electric shock, don’t touch the metallic part of the probe top while connecting to
voltage source.
•Measured signal by the oscilloscope is taken as a reference voltage to the ground, make sure
the ground terminal connect to the earth correctly, do not cause a short circuit.
1-3-2 Probe application
1. Connect the oscilloscope probe with the connector, and insert into the input terminal of the
device.
2. If use probe hooked head, make sure the hook end firmly attached to the probe.
3. Probe connection mode must be selected while the measuring frequency of the signal is
above 1 Khz.
