procedure. Shortcuts to the PCSU01 software can be installed. Note: You will need local Administrator privileges to successfully complete the installation, contact your system administrator for assistance. See also the “ReadME” file in the installed folder. Starting the software: Locate and run the PCSU01 software. At first time, the oscilloscope will be calibrated automatically. *Microsoft Windows™ XP/Vista/7/8/10 (*) are registered trademarks.

The Oscilloscope module What ? :The Oscilloscope module offers a feature-packed, easy to use digital storage oscilloscope. 1 7 3 4 5 2 6 How ? : • Connect the circuit under test to the scope input (observe the max. input rating of the scope!). • Start measuring with “trigger off” (5). • Press „RUN‟ (6). • Choose the desired volts/div setting or press “Auto-set” (2). • Choose the appropriate time/div setting (7). To enable triggering : • Select trigger edge (4). • Set trigger to „ON‟ (5).
PAGE 4
The Spectrum Analyzer Module What?: Powerful feature which allows visualization of the frequency spectrum of a signal, using FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) analysis. 2 1 3 How?: • Connect the scope input to the circuit under test. (observe the max. input rating of the scope!). • First observe the signal on the scope screen (see previous page). • Check that the signal is not over the maximum of the screen. • Start the spectrum analyzer. • Press „RUN‟ (1). • Select the appropriate frequency range.
PAGE 5
The Transient Recorder Module What?: Record occasional events and log slow changing processes automatically, e.g. battery charge cycles, temperature changes,... or track intermittent faults in electronic circuits. Automatic data storage allows over one year of continuous recording! 1 3 2 How?: • Connect the scope input to the circuit under test. • Select the appropriate volts/div setting (1). • Select the appropriate time/division setting (3). • Press RUN (2) to start recording.

Controls Oscilloscope mode VOLTS/DIV Selected value indicates the peak-to-peak voltage required to produce a peak-to-peak deflection of one major division on the screen. Coupling AC: the input signal is capacitive coupled to the input amplifier/attenuator. Only the AC components are measured. DC: the input signal is directly connected to the input amplifier/attenuator. Both AC and DC voltage are measured.

X-POSITION SCROLLBAR (Below the waveform display) Positions the trace horizontally on the screen. Triggering reference point is displayed with the vertical line on the bottom of the screen. History Waveform Display Click the "History" button at the bottom of the waveform screen to get access to the history slider. The history slider allows you to recall and display acquired data from up to 1000 previous acquisitions. Use the mouse wheel or arrow keys to display the saved waveforms one-by-one.

Exit Terminates the program. Restore Default Settings & Exit Use this option to restore all values to their default factory settings. The calibration values will be reset. Use this option if the oscilloscope's calibration fails repeatedly. Note: Software reinstallation does not reset the oscilloscope settings - you have to use this menu option to restore default settings. Edit menu Copy Copies the image to the Windows' clipboard. Paste Pastes the image residing in Windows' clipboard to the screen.
PAGE 9
Calibrate Makes the oscilloscope calibration and saves the calibration values to the PCSU01.INI file. This option performs following operations: 1. The fine adjustment of the trace Y-position (offset) on different Volt/Div and Time/Div scales. 2. Sets the trace labels (on the left side of the screen) to correspond the trace GND level. 3. Sets the triggering level mark to correspond the triggering level.

Move the markers • Place the mouse pointer over a dashed marker line. • Press and hold the left mouse button. • The marker line turns solid. • Drag the marker to the appropriate position. Add comment text on the signal screen For explanation and documentation, each measurement can be supplied with a comment text. This text will be saved together with the waveform data to the disk file. To enter the text: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Right click on the screen. Text box will open, to write your comment.
