Long press the bottom left of the instrument. button on the The instrument carries out all self-check items and shows the Boot Logo. Push the Utility button, select Function in the bottom menu. Select Adjust in the left menu, select Default in the bottom menu. The default attenuation coefficient set value of the probe in the menu is 10X. 2. Set the Switch in the Oscilloscope Probe as 10X and Connect the Oscilloscope with CH1 Channel.
3.Junior User Guidebook 1. Set the attenuation coefficient of the probe in the menu as 10X and that of the switch in the probe as 10X (see "How to Set the Probe Attenuation Coefficient" on P12), and connect the probe with the CH1 channel. If a probe hook tip is used, ensure that it keeps in close touch with the probe.
3.Junior User Guidebook Caution: The default attenuation coefficient of the probe on the instrument is preset to 10X. Make sure that the set value of the attenuation switch in the probe is the same as the menu selection of the probe attenuation coefficient in the oscilloscope. The set values of the probe switch are 1X and 10X (see Figure 3-9). Figure 3-9 Attenuation Switch Caution: When the attenuation switch is set to 1X, the probe will limit the bandwidth of the oscilloscope in 5MHz.
3.Junior User Guidebook Warning: To avoid electric shock, always keep your finger behind the safety guard ring of the probe during the operation. To protect you from suffering from the electric shock, do not touch any metal part of the probe tip when it is connected to the power supply. Before making any measurements, always connect the probe to the instrument and connect the ground terminal to the earth.
3.Junior User Guidebook Measuring Skill If the channel is under the DC coupling mode, you can rapidly measure the DC component of the signal through the observation of the difference between the wave form and the signal ground. If the channel is under the AC mode, the DC component would be filtered out. This mode helps you display the AC component of the signal with a higher sensitivity.

Recommend to use for: Hamming Sine, periodic and narrow band random noise. Transients or bursts where the signal levels before and after the event are significantly different. Best solution for frequency, worst for magnitude. Best type for measuring the frequency spectrum of nonrepetitive signals and measuring frequency components near DC.
4.Advanced User Guidebook The frequency resolution when using the Kaiser window is fair; the spectral leakage and amplitude accuracy are both good. Kaiser Bartlett The Kaiser window is best used when frequencies are very close to the same value but have widely differing amplitudes (the side lobe level and shape factor are closest to the traditional Gaussian RBW). This window is also good for random signals.

9.Demonstration 9. Demonstration Example 1: Measurement a Simple Signal The purpose of this example is to display an unknown signal in the circuit, and measure the frequency and peak-to-peak voltage of the signal. 1. Carry out the following operation steps for the rapid display of this signal: (1) Set the probe menu attenuation coefficient as 10X and that of the switch in the probe switch as 10X (see "How to Set the Probe Attenuation Coefficient" on P12).
9.Demonstration Figure 9-1 Measure period and frequency value for a given signal Example 2: Gain of a Amplifier in a Metering Circuit The purpose of this example is to work out the Gain of an Amplifier in a Metering Circuit. First we use Oscilloscope to measure the amplitude of input signal and output signal from the circuit, then to work out the Gain by using given formulas.
9.Demonstration Gain = Output Signal / Input signal Gain (db) = 20×log (gain) Figure 9-2 Waveform of Gain Measurement Example 3: Capturing a Single Signal It's quite easy to use Digital Oscilloscope to capture non-periodic signal, such as a pulse and burr etc.

9.Demonstration Figure 9-5 Reduce Noise level by using Average function Example 5: Application of X-Y Function Examine the Phase Difference between Signals of two Channels Example: Test the phase change of the signal after it passes through a circuit network. X-Y mode is a very useful when examining the Phase shift of two related signals. This example takes you step by step to check out the phase change of the signal after it passes a specified circuit.
9.Demonstration (8) With the elliptical oscillogram method adopted, observe and calculate the phase difference (see Figure 9-6). The signal must be centered and kept in the horizontal direction. Figure 9-6 Lissajous Graph Based on the expression sin (q) =A/B or C/D, thereinto, q is the phase difference angle, and the definitions of A, B, C, and D are shown as the graph above. As a result, the phase difference angle can be obtained, namely, q =± arcsin (A/B) or ± arcsin (C/D).
