Power-on Inspection
When the oscilloscope is energized, press the power key
at the lower-left corner
of the front panel to turn on the oscilloscope. During the start-up process, the
oscilloscope performs a series of self-test items and you can hear the sound of relay
switching. After the self-test is finished, the welcome screen is displayed. If your
instrument has installed a trial version of the option, you can view the Option Type,
Option name, Option Edition and Left time of the option currently installed in the
“Installed Options” pop-up dialog box on the screen. When the instrument is shipped,
a trial version of the option is provided and the left time is about 2000 minutes.
