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

measured voltage does not exceed the maximum withstand voltage.

Connect the probe correctly.Before measuring voltage greater than 40V, please

switch the probe to the 10X position first.

Charge the battery correctly.


The charging voltage is 5V.

Do not operate in a humid environment.

Keep the surface of the product clean and dry.


2 Probes

2.1 Probe calibration

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.

2.2 Probe bandwidth

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.

2.3 Probe withstand voltage

The maximum withstand voltage of the probe is generally marked on the probe,
which is usually 600Vpk.
2.4 Use tips

2.4.1 Large input capacitance


Because the probe 1X has a large input capacitance (usually more than 100 pf), it
is not suitable for measuring some capacitively sensitive circuits. For example, when
measuring a passive crystal of MCU, the large capacitor may cause the crystal to fail
to vibrate. As for the output of a high-speed op amp, a capacitive load may cause the
op amp to overshoot or oscillate. For circuits with large capacitances that are not
suitable for measurement, please use 10X. The input capacitance of the 10X is usually
several pf.

2.4.2 Measuring high voltage


The oscilloscope's measurement voltage range is -40V ~ + 40V (80Vpp). Please
use the 10X probe to attenuate the signal by 10 times beyond this range. The
measurable voltage range of 10X range is 600V(DC+AC). Please note that you must
first switch the probe to the 10X position before connecting the high voltage signal,
otherwise the high voltage may break down the internal circuit of the oscilloscope.

2.4.3 High bandwidth


Because the 1X probe has a large input capacitance, the bandwidth of the probe
1X is usually within SMHz, so please use the 10X position when the measured signal
bandwidth is greater than SM.
Summary: 10X is usually used in most applications.

3 Vertical system

3.1 Vertical sensitivity

Oscilloscope vertical sensitivity refers to the voltage represented by a grid in


the vertical direction of the screen. There are 8 divisions in the vertical direction of
the oscilloscope. You can estimate the amplitude of the signal by observing how many
divisions the waveform occupies on the screen. For example, if the vertical sensitivity
is lv/div, and the signal occupies 3 grids on the screen, you can know that the
amplitude of the signal is 3V.

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.

3.2 Vertical position

The method of moving the waveform up and down:


Directly press the up and down buttons to move the waveform up and down. The
number | in the top circle indicates the movable channel 1. Click the "CH1CH2"
button to switch the circle number to 2.
In addition: By default, the up and down keys move the waveform. If you need
to move the trigger level, you need to press the "OK" key. The trigger level arrow
appears on the top of the oscilloscope, and you can move the trigger level up and
down. As shown below:

4 Horizontal system

4.1 Time base

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.

#/6:2.61V
Wo PE: ‘12e
Vy M200us
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.

4.2 Horizontally moving 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.

5.1 Trigger level

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:

Use the key combination “Powert


>” to quickly move.
Method 2:
Click the "OK" button, and a leftward arrow appears on the top of the
oscilloscope. At this time, press the up and down keys to move the trigger level.

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.

CH1 | CH2 { OFF


6.8 Single
Single trigger means that after pressing the button, the oscilloscope samples a
frame of waveform and then stops. That is, only one frame of waveform is acquired
per click. It is important to note that there must be a trigger for this sampling. If there
is no trigger, the oscilloscope displays “wait” in the upper left corner of the
oscilloscope. This sampling is not completed until there is a waveform trigger.

7 Menu introduction

7.1 Channel

The channel menu includes two options, "Coupling" and "Probe".


The coupling can be set "DC coupling" and "AC coupling". DC coupling passes
the signal directly. AC coupling is equivalent to series connection with the capacitor.
Probes are available in " 1X" / "10X"/ "100X", this option corresponds to the
oscilloscope probe. When the probe is switched to the 10X position, this option
should be selected as " 10X". The same goes for the 1X.

7.2 Measurement

There are 14 measurement options available, as shown below:


Frequency, Peak-to-Peak, Duty cycle, Amplitude, RMS, Average, Period, +Pulse
width, -Pulse width, Max, Min,Top, Base, -Duty cycle.
Max

The difference between peak-to-peak and amplitude(AMP) is shown in the


figure above.

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

“Persistence” is to make the historical waveform remain on the screen for a


while and then disappear. Optional persistence options are: None, ls, Infinite. When
Infinity is selected, the waveforms that have appeared on the screen will remain
forever and will not disappear.
“roll” is to display the waveform while sampling. Only when the time base is
greater than or equal to 200ms will the roll mode be entered. If roll is turned off, the
waveform will be displayed after one screen is sampled, resulting in a long time
before the screen is refreshed for large time base.
“XY” mode is a way that channel 1 is used as the X axis and channel 2 is
displayed on the Y axis. It can be used to view Lissajous graphics etc.
In this menu, long press the run/stop button to turn on/off the high refresh rate.

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.

1. What is the difference between probe 1X and 10X?


Answer: The 1X does not attenuate the signal, and the 10X attenuates the signal
amplitude by 10 times. When the measuring voltage is higher than 40V, 10X is used.
In addition, the bandwidth of 1X file can only reach about 5M. So generally we
usually use 10X, and use 1X when the measured signal amplitude is less than a few
hundred millivolts. Note: If the probe test lead is set to 10X, it must be set to 10X in
the menu. 1X is the same. That is to keep the two consistent! !
2.When the timeBase is >50ms, the waveform refresh becomes slower?
Answer: The time base of 50ms means the time of "one grid". There are 12 grids in
the horizontal direction. The time to perform one sampling=50*12=600ms, so it is
normal for the waveform refresh to be slow.
3.How to measure DC power voltage?
Answer: First, set the coupling to "DC", and adjust the probe to the 10X position
(the oscilloscope menu should also be set to the same 10X as the probe). Connect the
probe to the power output terminal, and then click the [Auto] key. Pay attention to the
"Mean" value.
4.How to measure 220V mains?
Answer: First remove the USB cable (isolation), then adjust the probe to the 10X
position, adjust the vertical sensitivity to 100V, and adjust the time base to 10ms, and
then connect the probe to the neutral wire and the live wire (be careful!).
5.How to measure audio signal?
Answer: The coupling mode is set to "AC". The probe is set to the 10X position.
The probe is connected to the audio output. The time base is adjusted to about 5-10ms,
and the voltage sensitivity is adjusted to about 500mV (decided according to the
volume).
6.How to measure main board communication signal or bus signal?
Answer: The probe is connected to the signal first. The coupling mode is set to DC,
the probe is set to the X10 position (the menu should also be set to 10X), and then
click the [Auto] button. If the correct waveform cannot be obtained, please manually
click the [s]/[ns] button to adjust the time base.
7.How to measure power supply ripple?
Answer: Set the coupling mode to "AC" in the menu, and set the probe to the 1X
position (the menu is also set to 1X). Adjust the time base to about 200us. First adjust
the vertical sensitivity to 10mV. If the waveform exceeds the screen, click the [V] key
to reduce it until all the ripples appear on the screen.
