1 Safety Precautions
Learn about the following safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent damage
to this product or any products connected to it. To avoid possible danger, be sure to
use this product as specified.
Only authorized personnel should perform maintenance procedures.
Avoid fire and personal injury.Use the probe correctly and ensure that the
Connect the probe correctly.Before measuring voltage greater than 40V, please
The probes delivered with this machine have been compensated. If you use
another new probe before the first use, it must be calibrated before it can be used
normally, otherwise the measurement will be inaccurate (only for the 10X/100X). The
calibration method is as follows:
i. Switch the probe to X10.
2. Connect the probe to a 1KHz square wave with an amplitude of about 2V-3V. You
can use the built-in generator(Refer to section 6.11).
3. Adjust the horizontal and vertical scales of the oscilloscope so that the waveform
is displayed stably at a suitable position on the screen.
4. Use a screwdriver to rotate the adjustable capacitor on the probe until you get the
waveform in the middle of the figure below. The left and right waveforms below
are references for incorrect calibration.
Because the 1X probe has a large input capacitance, the bandwidth of the 1X is
usually within SMHz; while the bandwidth of the 10X is the standard bandwidth of
the probe.
The maximum withstand voltage of the probe is generally marked on the probe,
which is usually 600Vpk.

3 Vertical system
Mi.oov’ B5.00¥
The scope's vertical sensitivity range is 10mV / div ~ 10V / div (1X probe). In
8
the oscilloscope button panel, the keys for adjusting the vertical sensitivity are 'mV'
and 'V' button. Pressing the 'mV' button decreases the vertical sensitivity, which is
used to measure signals with smaller voltage amplitude. Press the 'V' button to
increase the vertical sensitivity for measuring signals with larger voltage amplitudes.
4 Horizontal system
The time base refers to the time represented by each grid in the horizontal
direction on the oscilloscope screen. There are 12 grids in the horizontal direction of
the oscilloscope. The sampling time that can be observed on the screen = " time base"
* 12.The user can estimate the signal period by observing how many grids a
waveform period occupies. For example, the current time base is 500us, and one cycle
of the signal occupies 2 grids,so the signal period is Ims (1KHz).
The oscilloscope time base range is Sns ~ 10s. The buttons for adjusting the time
base in the oscilloscope button panel are 'ns' and 's' button. , When observing
high-frequency signals, you should press the 'ns' button to decrease the time base.
When observing low-frequency signals, you should press the 's' button Increase the
base.The time base in the figure is 200us/div.

What you need to know is that the sampling process of the oscilloscope is:
"Sampling">>"Processing" >> "Display"
When adjusted to a large time base, the screen waveform refresh will be slow
due to the longer time taken by the oscilloscope to sample the waveform.
In the stop mode, the user can move the waveform left and right.

5 Trigger system
About trigger
The oscilloscope will capture a frame of waveform only after the waveform
meets the pre-set conditions. This action of capturing the waveform according to the
conditions is the trigger.
What does trigger do?
1. Trigger can stabilize the waveform on the screen.
2. Capture the segment of the waveform you want to observe.
The trigger supported by the oscilloscope is edge trigger, including rising edge
trigger and falling edge trigger.
In the edge trigger mode, the trigger condition appears only when the waveform
crosses up or down the trigger level. The method to adjust the trigger level is as
follows:
1. Change the "Trigger Level" to "Manual" in the menu (or use the key
combination “PowertF1” to quickly switch between manual/auto).
2. Method 1:

5.2 Adjust the trigger position
The default trigger position is in the middle of the screen. The user can
move the trigger position by pressing the left and right keys in the running state.
The trigger position is marked on the screen: Ea
6 Operation Guide
6.1 POWER
In the shutdown state, long press the "POWER" button to turn on the
machine, and then release the button when the screen is on.
In the power-on state, long press the "POWER" button to shut down(about
4 seconds), and release the button after the screen goes out. You can also click
the Power button and select OFF to shut down.
6.2 Charging
The upper right corner of the oscilloscope displays the current remaining
power. When the power is insufficient, use a USB cable to connect a
5V/1A/2A/4A adapter for charging, computer or mobile phone adapter is the best
choice.The charging current is about 700ma.
The LED at the bottom of the charging process is bright red, and the led
turns green when fully charged(It takes about 7-8 hours).
Method 1:
Use the key combination “Power+
>” to quickly move.
Method 2:
Click the "OK" button, and a small leftward arrow appears on the top of the
11
oscilloscope. Press the up and down keys to move the trigger level.
If the arrow is yellow, you can move the trigger level of ch1; if it is green,
you can move the trigger level of ch2. Use "Power+CH1CH2" to switch the trigger
source.
Note! ! If the trigger level is set to "Auto" in the menu, it cannot be
adjusted manually at this time. You need to set it to "manual" to adjust ,or Use
“Power+ F1” to switch between auto and manual.
6.5 Auto
The auto function is a more common function in the oscilloscope. After the user
presses the "Auto" button, the oscilloscope will automatically adjust the time base and
vertical sensitivity so that the waveform is displayed in the middle of the screen.
Beginners can try to press the "Auto"button when they don't know how to adjust.
6.6 Run/stop
In the running state, click the "Run/Stop" button to stop the oscilloscope. After
stopping, the oscilloscope no longer performs sampling, and the user can observe the
last sampling data retained in the memory. Click the "Run/Stop" button in stop mode
to make the oscilloscope enter the running state. "AUTO" indicates that the current
trigger mode is automatic, and "Normal" indicates that the trigger mode is normal.
6.7 50%
The function of 50% in the oscilloscope is to return the waveform to the middle,
including vertical offset, trigger position, and trigger level.

6.12 Single/Dual channel
Long press the "CH1CH2" button to turn on/off CH2. CH1 can only be turned on
and cannot be turned off. When you do not need to use two channels at the same time,
please turn off CH2 to obtain a higher sampling rate and reduce power consumption.
When CH2 is open, the sampling rate and bandwidth are halved (60Mhz). When
using dual channel mode, click the "CH1CH2" button to switch the priority of CH1
and CH2. If CH1 has a high priority (yellow circle 1), the waveform of CH1 is moved
by the up and down buttons. If CH2 has a high priority, CH 2 can be moved.
6.13 Connect to PC
6.14 Cursor
Hold down the Power button and then click the “s” button to turn on/off the
horizontal cursor.
Press and hold the Power button and then click the “ns” button to turn on/off the
vertical cursor.
Press the left and right direction buttons directly to move the horizontal cursor 1
Press and hold the Power button and then press the horizontal direction buttons to
move the horizontal cursor 2. The same goes for the vertical cursor.
For the vertical cursor, the value of Y1 means: the voltage of the dotted line
above. The value of Y2 means: the voltage of the dotted line below. dY=Y1-Y2 is the
voltage difference between the two dotted lines.
The voltage cursor can only measure one channel (high priority channel), pay
attention to the color change in the upper left corner after switching the priority.

7.3 Trigger
There are four options in the trigger menu: “Trigger Mode” “Trigger Type” ,
“Trigger level”and “Trigger source”.
Trigger Mode can be selected from "Auto" and "Normal".
For “Auto” mode, if a waveform trigger is detected, the waveform will be used
for triggering. At this time, the waveform can be displayed stably. If the oscilloscope
cannot detect the trigger condition, it will automatically force the trigger to display the
waveform, but because there is no suitable trigger condition, the waveform will not be
displayed steadily.
For “Normal” mode, The oscilloscope will not refresh the display until there is a
waveform trigger. Therefore, in this mode, the screen waveform may not refresh or
there is no waveform. It is suitable for measuring discontinuous waveforms and
15)
requires users to adjust the trigger level in advance.
Trigger type includes rising and falling edges. Rising edge trigger means that
the waveform crosses the trigger level line upward, and a trigger condition occurs.
Trigger level include "automatic" and "manual".
"Auto" is suitable for trigger mode = auto, the oscilloscope detects the waveform
in real time and automatically adjusts the trigger level.
"Manual" When the “single” is used or the trigger mode is "Normal", the
"Manual" option should be used. Under this option, the trigger level can be manually
adjusted by the user.
Trigger source indicates which channel's waveform is currently used for
triggering. In the dual-channel mode, CH1 or CH2 can be selected. If the channel is
used as the trigger source, its waveform can be stable. If the waveform frequencies of
the two channels are different, the waveform of the other channel will be unstable.
7.4 Display
7.5 Aux
There are two options of "Calibration" and "FFT" in the auxiliary menu.
When the probe is removed, if there is a significant deviation between the
waveform position and the zero arrow position, it indicates that calibration is required.
Please remove the probe and USB cable before calibration, and then click the
"OK" button. The oscilloscope then starts self-calibration. After completing the
calibration, restart the oscilloscope.
(Unless you confirm that the oscilloscope does have a large zero offset,
calibration is generally not recommended)
After the FFT option is turned on, it can perform FFT calculation on the screen
waveform and display the waveform after FFT. FFT display mode can be selected as:
"logarithmic", linear and "music" (music spectrum).
In this menu, long press the { button to enter the overclocking mode (for
measuring 100M-120M signal), and press | to return to the normal mode.
