Display unknown signals using automatic Settings
The automatic setting function enables the oscilloscope to automatically display and measure unknown signals. This function optimizes position, range, timebase, and trigger and ensures a stable display of any waveform. This feature is particularly useful for quickly checking several signals.
To enable auto-setup, perform the following steps:
-
Connect the oscilloscope probe to the measured signal.
-
Press the Auto key, the oscilloscope enters the automatic measurement state, and the measured signal will be displayed on the screen.
Trigger System
The trigger determines when the oscilloscope starts to acquire data and display waveforms. Once the trigger is set correctly, it can convert an unstable display into a meaningful waveform.
When the oscilloscope starts to acquire data, it first acquires enough data to draw the waveform on the left side of the trigger point. The oscilloscope continuously acquires data while waiting for the trigger condition to occur. When a trigger is detected, the oscilloscope continuously acquires enough data to draw a waveform on the right of the trigger point.
The trigger mode of this series of oscilloscopes is edge trigger.
The edge trigger mode is to trigger on the trigger electrical level of the edge of the input signal, that is, trigger on the rising and falling edges of the input signal.
Entering the edge trigger, the trigger setting information is displayed at the bottom right corner of the screen, CH:DC F -20.0 mV indicates that the trigger type is

7. Troubleshooting
1. The oscilloscope cannot be turned on.
It may be that the battery is completely exhausted. At this time, even if the oscilloscope is powered by the power adapter, the oscilloscope cannot be turned on. You need to charge the battery first, and do not turn on the oscilloscope. Wait for about 15 minutes, and then try to turn on the oscilloscope. If the oscilloscope still cannot be turned on, please contact us to serve you.
2. The oscilloscope turns off after a few seconds of startup.
It may be that the battery is exhausted. Check the battery symbol at the top left of the screen. Symbol indicates that the battery is exhausted and must be charged.
-
After switching to the multimeter, the measurement type is displayed as E. It may be that the measurement type was not selected. At this time, press F4, the measurement type should display the corresponding measurement type. If E is still displayed, restart the oscilloscope.
-
In the oscilloscope state, the measured voltage amplitude value is 10 times larger or smaller than the actual value.
Check whether the channel attenuation coefficient is consistent with the actual probe error ratio.
5. In the oscilloscope state, there is a waveform display, but it cannot be stabilized.
- Check whether the source item in the trigger mode menu is consistent with the signal channel actually used.
- Check whether the trigger electrical level has exceeded the waveform range. Only by setting the parameters reasonably, the waveform can be displayed stably.
6. In the oscilloscope state, nothing is displayed after pressing RUN/STOP.
Check whether the trigger mode of the trigger mode menu is normal or single, and the trigger electrical level is out of the waveform range. If so, center the trigger
electrical level or set the trigger mode to automatic. In addition, you can press Auto to automatically complete the above settings.
- In the oscilloscope state, the display speed becomes slower when the average value sampling is set in the acquisition mode or the duration is set longer in the display settings.
It is normal.
8. Technical Specifications
Unless otherwise stated, all technical specifications are applicable to the probe with the attenuation switch set to 10X and this series of oscilloscopes. The oscilloscope must first meet the following two conditions to meet these specifications and standards:
■ The instrument must be operated continuously for more than 30 minutes at the specified operating temperature.
■ If the operating temperature variation range reaches or exceed the 5 system function menu must be opened to execute the "automatic correction" program (see automatic correction in "System Settings" on P18).
All specifications are guaranteed except those marked "typical".
