Frequently Asked Questions - DSO-1204E VOLTCRAFT
How do I perform a self-calibration on the DSO-1204E?
Go to the Utility menu, select 'Self-Cal', and follow the on-screen instructions. Ensure all probes are disconnected.
This compensates for temperature drift and aging.
This compensates for temperature drift and aging.
What is the maximum input voltage for the probes?
The included 10x probes are rated for CAT II 300 V (DC + AC peak). With 1x mode, limit to 30 V RMS.
Always check the probe derating curve at high frequencies.
Always check the probe derating curve at high frequencies.
Can I measure AC mains voltage directly?
Yes, but use the 10x probe setting and ensure the oscilloscope is set to 10x in the channel menu.
Maximum safe measurement is 300 V CAT II.
Never use 1x mode for mains.
Maximum safe measurement is 300 V CAT II.
Never use 1x mode for mains.
How do I update the firmware?
Download the latest firmware from the Voltcraft website, copy it to a FAT32 USB drive, and insert it into the oscilloscope.
Go to Utility > Update Firmware. Do not power off during the process.

How can I take a screenshot of the waveform?
Press the 'Print' button on the front panel.
The image will be saved to a USB flash drive (inserted in the Host port) as a BMP file.
The image will be saved to a USB flash drive (inserted in the Host port) as a BMP file.
What is the resolution of the FFT function?
The FFT provides up to 1024 points with Hanning, Hamming, Blackman, and Rectangular window options.
It shows frequency components up to half the sample rate.
It shows frequency components up to half the sample rate.
How do I enable pass/fail testing?
Define a mask by capturing a reference waveform and adjusting the tolerance.
Then go to the 'Pass/Fail' menu, enable the test, and choose actions (stop, save, etc.).
The oscilloscope will compare incoming signals to the mask.
Then go to the 'Pass/Fail' menu, enable the test, and choose actions (stop, save, etc.).
The oscilloscope will compare incoming signals to the mask.
Why does my measurement show incorrect voltage?
Check the probe attenuation setting: ensure the channel menu Probe matches the physical probe switch (1x or 10x).
Also verify the vertical scale is appropriate for the signal.
Perform a self-calibration if needed.

How do I connect the oscilloscope to a PC?
Use the USB Device port on the rear panel with the provided cable. Install the Voltcraft UltraScope software (available for download).
Then select 'USB' in the software's connection settings.
Then select 'USB' in the software's connection settings.
What should I do if the display is frozen?
First try pressing the 'Default Setup' button to restore factory settings.
If that fails, power cycle the oscilloscope: turn off, wait 10 seconds, and turn on.
If the issue persists, contact support.
