⚠️ CRITICAL SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Ground Connection Requirements

When using both channels simultaneously, BOTH probe ground clips MUST be connected together.

NEVER connect ground clips to different potential points, especially on high-power equipment or different terminals of 220V circuits. Doing so will short-circuit the internal ground wires and DESTROY the oscilloscope motherboard. This applies to all oscilloscopes because both channels share a common ground.

2. Maximum Voltage Input

The BNC input can withstand a maximum of 400VNever input more than 400V when using a 1× probe.

3. Power Supply Requirements

Use ONLY the original power supply. Never use power supplies or USB connections from devices under test, as this may cause ground wire short circuits during testing.

4. High-Frequency and High-Voltage Measurements

For high-frequency and high-voltage signals, you MUST use:

  • 100× probes for ultrasonic equipment (welding machines, cleaning machines)
  • 1000× probes for very high voltage applications (high-frequency transformer high-voltage terminals, induction cooker coils)

5. Probe Bandwidth Limitations

  • 1× probe bandwidth: 5 MHz
  • 10× probe bandwidth: 100 MHz

When measuring frequencies above 5 MHz:

  1. Move the switch on the probe handle to 10×
  2. Set the oscilloscope to 10× mode

Why this is necessary: Oscilloscope probe cables have a capacitance of 100-300 pF, which significantly attenuates high-frequency signals. At 1× setting, the effective bandwidth is only 5 MHz. The 10× attenuation provides impedance matching with the probe cable capacitance, enabling the full 100 MHz bandwidth. Use only probes rated for 100 MHz or higher.

  • Use / navigation keys to switch between left and right boundaries
  • Rotate upper-left knob to move the selected boundary
  • Click [Slow] to toggle between coarse and fine adjustment
  • The captured segment is between the two purple lines

Select Capture Channel:

  • Text between boundaries shows “Channel 1” or “Channel 2”
  • Use / navigation keys to switch channels

Optimize Capture Quality:

  • Adjust Voltage Level: Move the channel Y-position to set the DC offset of the captured signal
    • Example: Position waveform at +1V for +1V DC output, at -1V for -1V DC output
  • Adjust Amplitude: Use vertical sensitivity to scale the waveform
    • Recommendation: Maximize signal amplitude without clipping the top or bottom
    • Larger captured signals have more sample data, resulting in lower distortion and higher resolution
    • Small captured signals enlarged later will show severe staircase effects due to insufficient sampling

Save Captured Signal:

  • After setting all parameters, press [OK] to save the capture to system memory

Output Captured Waveform:

  1. Click [Gen] button
  2. Press [OK] to move selection to [Waveform Type]
  3. Use / to select “Self Definition” (Custom)
  4. Exit generator menu
  5. Click [Menu] button
  6. Navigate to [Output Browsing]
  7. Press [OK] to view all saved captured signals

  9. Press [OK] – yellow “OUTPUT” text appears on the waveform
  10. Click [Menu] to exit
  11. The signal generator now outputs the selected captured waveform

Important Notes on Captured Waveform Frequency:

  • If captured waveform contains one complete cycle, output frequency equals the set frequency
  • If captured waveform contains N complete cycles, output frequency = N × set frequency
  • Trigger adjustment is critical: Set trigger voltage to the minimum edge of the waveform to ensure accurate frequency calculation
  • Incorrect trigger positioning may cause displayed frequency to be several times the actual frequency

Troubleshooting Guide

Q1: Device won’t turn on after receiving it?

Solution:

  • Verify power cord is properly connected to oscilloscope
  • Check that wall socket has power
  • Try a different power adapter (such as a mobile phone charger)
  • If still not working, contact customer service for replacement

Q2: No waveform displayed, only a stationary line on screen?

Solution:

  • Check if [Run/Stop] is paused – if so, press it to resume
  • Press [Auto] button once
  • If still no waveform:
    • Verify signal source is actually outputting a signal
    • Check probe for short circuit or open circuit using a multimeter
    • Test probe and signal source independently

Q3: Voltage measurement shows 0?

Solution:

  • Adjust vertical sensitivity and time base
  • Or press [Auto] button
  • Display should show at least one clear, complete waveform cycle
  • Top and bottom of waveform must be visible (not clipped)
  • Voltage reading will be accurate once waveform is properly displayed

Q4: Frequency measurement shows 0?

Solution:

  • Ensure trigger mode is set to Auto (automatic triggering)
  • Press [Auto] button once
  • Display should show at least one clear, complete waveform cycle
  • Waveform must be triggered (green arrow position fixed, not shaking)
  • Frequency reading will be accurate once waveform is properly triggered

Q5: Duty cycle shows 0?

Solution:

  • Ensure trigger mode is set to Auto
  • Adjust trigger line to intersect the waveform
  • When waveform is properly triggered (fixed position), the duty cycle reading will be correct
  • At least one complete waveform cycle must be visible

Q6: AC coupling looks the same as DC coupling?

Explanation:

  • For symmetrical AC signals (such as 220V household power), AC and DC coupling appear identical
  • For asymmetrical AC signals or DC pulse signals, the waveform will shift vertically when switching coupling modes

Q7: Waveform moves up and down continuously, appears as multiple overlapping lines?

Solution:

  • Set trigger mode to Auto
  • Press [Auto] button
  • If not resolved:
    • Probe ground clip may not be connected or may have open circuit
    • Check probe with multimeter

Q8: Waveform shakes horizontally and won’t stabilize?

Solution:

  • Adjust trigger voltage (green arrow on right side)
  • Position trigger level at the top or bottom edge of the waveform
  • Or enable “Automatic 50%” in the menu settings

Q9: Cannot capture sudden pulses or digital logic signals?

Solution:

  • Change trigger mode to “Normal” or “Single”
  • Adjust trigger voltage, time base, and vertical sensitivity
  • Wait for signal to appear, then press [Run/Stop] to pause

Q10: Trigger voltage adjustment has no effect?

Solution:

  • Click [Menu] → Navigate to [Auto 50%] → Turn it OFF

Q11: Measuring a battery shows no waveform?

Explanation:

  • Battery voltage is a stable DC signal with no curve
  • In DC coupling mode, adjust vertical sensitivity to see an upward or downward offset straight line
  • In AC coupling mode, DC signals are blocked and no waveform will appear

Q12: Why does 220V 50Hz measurement cause display to lag?

Explanation:

  • To display 50 Hz low-frequency signals, the oscilloscope must use a very low sampling rate
  • This causes the display to update slowly, appearing as “lag”
  • This is normal behavior for ALL oscilloscopes when measuring 50Hz signals – it’s not a defect

Q13: Measuring household 220V shows peak-to-peak voltage over 600V, not 220V or 310V?

Explanation:

  • 220V is the RMS (effective) value, not peak-to-peak
  • Household 220V AC is symmetrical:
    • Positive peak: +310V
    • Negative peak: -310V
    • Peak-to-peak (Vpp) = 620V
  • Switch measurement parameter to “RMS” or “Effective Value” to see the familiar 220V
  • Actual household voltage fluctuates between 180-260V RMS (507-733V peak-to-peak)

Q14: Measured 220V is not a perfect sine wave – shows distortion?

Explanation:

  • Municipal power grids typically contain harmonic pollution
  • Higher-order harmonics superimpose on the fundamental sine wave, causing distortion
  • This is normal and reflects actual power quality – it’s not an oscilloscope problem

Q15: Baseline (0V) and left arrow don’t align when no signal is connected?

Solution:

  1. Disconnect probe
  2. Click [Menu]
  3. Navigate to [Baseline Calibration]
  4. Press [OK]
  5. Wait for calibration to complete – baseline and arrow will align

Q16: Signals above 5MHz show significant attenuation – bandwidth seems limited to 5MHz?

Solution:

  • When measuring 5 MHz or higher frequencies:
    1. Move probe switch to 10× position
    2. Set oscilloscope to 10× input mode
  • Why: Probe cable has 100-300 pF capacitance, which severely attenuates high-frequency signals
  • At 1× setting, effective bandwidth is only 5 MHz
  • 10× setting provides impedance matching, enabling full 100 MHz bandwidth
  • Only use probes rated for 100 MHz or higher
