1.2 Function Checking
When you check whether or not the oscilloscope could work smoothly, please
operate as following:
1. Power On the oscilloscope.
Press “DEFAULT SETUP” to show the result of the self check. The probe default
attenuation is 1X.
Picture 1.2- 1
2. Set the switch to 1X on the probe and connect the probe to channel 1 on the
oscilloscope. To do this, align the slot in the probe connector with the key on the
CH 1 BNC, push to connect, and twist to the right to lock the probe in place.
Connect the probe tip and reference lead to the PROBE COMP connectors

1.3 Probe
1.3.1 Probe Safety
A guard around the probe body provides a finger barrier for protection from
electric shock.
Picture 1.3-1
Connect the probe to the oscilloscope and connect the ground terminal to ground
before you take any measurements.
1.3.2 Probe Attenuation Setting
Probes are available with various attenuation factors which affect the vertical
scale of the signal. The Probe Check function verifies that the Probe attenuation
option matches the attenuation of the probe.
You can push a vertical menu button (such as the CH 1 MENU button), and select
the Probe option that matches the attenuation factor of your probe.
Be sure that the attenuation switch on the probe matches the Probe option in the
oscilloscope. Switch settings are 1X and 10X.
Note：●To avoid electric shock when using the probe, keep fingers behind the
guard on the probe body.
●To avoid electric shock while using the probe, 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 take any measurements.
Note: The default setting for the Probe option is 1X.

1.3.3 Probe Compensation
As an alternative method to Probe Check, you can manually perform this
adjustment to match your probe to the input channel.
Picture1.3-2
1. Set the Probe option attenuation in the channel menu to 10X. Set the switch to
10X on the probe and connect the probe to channel 1 on the oscilloscope. If you
use the probe hook-tip, ensure a proper connection by firmly inserting the tip
onto the probe.
2. Attach the probe tip to the PROBE COMP～3V connector and the reference
lead to the PROBE COMP Ground connector. Display the channel and then
push the “AUTO” button.
3. Check the shape of the displayed waveform.
Over Compensated under
Compensated correctly compensated
Picture 1.3-3
4. If necessary, adjust your probe. Repeat as necessary.
Note: When the attenuation switch is set to 1X, the probe limits the
bandwidth of the oscilloscope to 6MHz (according to Probe spec). To
use the full bandwidth of the oscilloscope, be sure to set the switch to
10X

to set the trigger type (Edge. Pulse, Video, Slope, Alternative) and trigger
settings.
■SET TO 50%: Press to stabilize a waveform quickly. The oscilloscope can
set the trigger level to be halfway between the minimum and maximum
voltage level automatically. This is useful when you connect a signal to the
EXT TRIG connector and set the trigger source to Ext or Ext/5.
■FORCE: Use the FORCE button to complete the current waveform acquisition
whether the oscilloscope detects a trigger or not. This is useful for Single
acquisitions and Normal trigger mode.
■SAVE/RECALL: Press to display the Save/Recall menu. You can use the
Save/Recall menu to save and recall up to 20 oscilloscope setups or waveforms
in internal memory (up to 20 waveforms) or on a USB memory device (limited by
memory capacity of USB device). You can also use it to recall the default factory
settings, to save waveform data as a comma-delimited file (.CSV), and to save
or print the displayed waveform image.
■ACQUIRE: Press to display Acquire menu. You can use the Acquire menu to
set the acquisition Sampling Mode (Sampling, Peak Detect, Average).
