Measurement Category Measurement Category MSO2000A/DS2000A series digital oscilloscopes can make measurements in Measurement Category I. WARNING This oscilloscope can only be used for measurements within its specified measurement categories. Measurement Category Definitions Measurement category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to MAINS. Examples are measurements on circuits not derived from MAINS, and specially protected (internal) MAINS derived circuits.
Ventilation Requirement This oscilloscope uses fan to force cooling. Please make sure that the air intake and exhaust areas are free from obstructions and have free air. When using the oscilloscope in a bench-top or rack setting, provide at least 10 cm clearance beside, above and behind the instrument for adequate ventilation. WARNING Inadequate ventilation may cause temperature increase which would damage the instrument.
Installation (overvoltage) Category This product is powered by mains conforming to installation (overvoltage) category II. WARNING Make sure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by thunderbolt) can reach the product, or else the operator might expose to danger of electric shock. Installation (overvoltage) Category Definitions Installation (overvoltage) category I refers to signal level which is applicable to equipment measurement terminals connected to the source circuit.

To Prepare for Operation To Adjust the Supporting Legs Adjust the supporting legs properly to use them as stands to tilt the oscilloscope upwards for stable placement of the instrument as well as easier operation and observation of the instrument. Figure 3 To Adjust the Supporting Legs To Connect to AC Power Supply This oscilloscope can accept 100-240 V, 45-440 Hz AC power supply.
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. The instrument is installed with the trial versions of the options before leaving factory and the remaining time is about 2000 minutes.
Connect the Logic Probe: 1. Connect the single-wire terminal of the logic probe to the [LOGIC D0-D15] digital channel interface at the front panel of MSO2000A in the correct direction. 2. Connect the other terminal of the logic probe to the signal under test. MSO2000A is provided with the RPL2316 logic probe which provides three connecting methods to connect to the signal under test to fulfill the requirements of different application environment. For the details, please refer to the .
Function Inspection 1. Press Storage Default to restore the oscilloscope to its default configuration. 2. Connect the earth alligator clip of the probe to the “Ground Terminal” as shown in the figure below. 3. Use the probe to connect the input terminal of CH1 and the “Compensation Signal Output Terminal” of the oscilloscope. Compensation Signal Output Terminal Ground Terminal Figure 7 To Use the Compensation Signal 4. Press AUTO. 5. Observe the waveform on the display.
Tip The signal output from the probe compensation connector can only be used for probe compensation adjustment and can not be used for calibration. Probe Compensation When the probes are used for the first time, you should compensate the probes to match the input channels of the oscilloscope. Non-compensated or poorly compensated probes may cause measurement inaccuracy or error. The probe compensation procedures are as follows: 1. Perform steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 of “Function Inspection”. 2.

Troubleshooting The commonly encountered failures and their solutions are listed below. When you encounter those failures, please solve them following the corresponding steps. If the problem remains still, please contact and provide your device information (acquisition method: Utility System System Info). 1. The screen is still dark (no display) after power on: (1) Check whether the power switch is turned on. (2) Check whether the power is correctly connected. (3) Check whether the fuse is burned out.
5. No display after pressing RUN/STOP: Check the TRIGGER Control Area of the front panel to confirm whether the trigger mode is “Normal” or “Single” and whether the trigger level exceeds the waveform range. If yes, set the trigger level to the middle or press the MODE to set the trigger mode to “Auto”. Note: Using AUTO could automatically finish the above setting. 6. The display of waveform is ladder-like: (1) The horizontal time base might be too low.
