How To Implement The Probe Compensation

When connect the probe with any input channel for the first time, make this adjustment to match the probe with the input channel. The probe which is not compensated or presents a compensation deviation will result in the measuring error or mistake. For adjusting the probe compensation, please carry out the following steps:

  1. Set the attenuation coefficient of the probe in the menu as 10X and that of the switch in the probe as 10X (see "How to Implement the Probe

Compensation" on P14), and connect the probe with the CH1 channel. If a probe hook tip is used, ensure that it keeps in close touch with the probe. Connect the probe tip with the signal connector of the probe compensator and connect the reference wire clamp with the ground wire connector of the probe connector, and then push the Autoset button on the front panel.

2、Check the displayed waveforms, see Figure 3-5. Regulate the probe till a correct compensation is achieved, see Figure 3-6.

A General Knowledge Of Oscilloscope

A General Knowledge Of Trigger System

As shown in Figure 5-1, there are one knob and one key. The following exercises are to guide you through the use of the trigger system.

50% Trigger Force

Figure 5-1: Trigger control area

  1. Use Trigger Level knob to change the settings of the trigger level. Rotary the Trigger Level knob, the trigger pointer on the screen moves up and down as the knob turns. While moving the trigger pointer, the value of the trigger level on the screen changes accordingly.

Note: Turning the Trigger Level knob can not only change the trigger level value, but also set the shortcut key of the trigger level at the vertical midpoint of the trigger signal amplitude.

  1. Press Force key to generate a trigger signal forcibly, mainly used in the "Normal" and "Single" trigger mode.

A General Knowledge Of Vertical System

As shown in Figure 5-2, there are six keys and two knobs. The following exercises are to guide you through the use of the vertical system.

Position Zero Vertical CH1 Math CH2 Ref CH3 CH4 Scale V mV

Figure 5-2: Vertical control area

  1. Vertical Position knob to control the vertical display position of the signal.

When turning the Vertical Position knob, the pointer indicating the

Grounding Reference Point of the channel moves up and down following the waveform. When pressing the Vertical Vertical key, the vertical position can be zero.

Measuring Skills

If the DC coupling mode is adopted for the channel, observe the gap between the waveform and the signal ground to quickly measure the DC component of the signal.

If the AC coupling mode is adopted for the channel, the DC component of the signal is filtered out, facilitating you to display the AC component of the signal with higher sensitivity.

If the Ground coupling mode is adopted for the channel, indicates that the internal input is grounded and the external input is disconnected. It can effectively reduce the influence of external interference on the measurement results and ensure the accuracy of the measurement.

How To Set Trigger

Trigger determines when the oscilloscope starts to collect the data and display the waveform. Once it is set properly, it can convert unstable display into the meaningful waveform.

When the oscilloscope starts to collect the data, enough data are used to draw the waveform at the left of the trigger point. The oscilloscope continuously collects data while waiting for the trigger conditions. When a trigger is detected, the oscilloscope will continuously collect enough data to draw the waveform at the right of the trigger point.

There is one knob and one keys in the Trigger Control Area.

Trigger Level: Turn this knob to set the signal voltage of corresponding trigger point and press this knob to make the trigger level at the vertical midpoint of the trigger signal amplitude.

Forced Trigger: Generate a trigger signal forcibly, mainly used in the "Normal" and "Single" trigger mode.

How To Set FFT

FFT decomposes the signal into component frequencies, and the oscilloscope uses these component frequencies to display the graph of signal frequency domain, which corresponds to the standard time domain graph of the oscilloscope. Then match these frequencies with known system frequencies, such as the system clock, oscilloscope or power supply. The FFT operation of this instrument can convert 8192 data points of the time domain waveform into frequency domain signal (the recording length of the acquisition shall be set to 512K points or above). And the final FFT spectrum contains 4096 points from DC (0Hz) to Nyquist frequency. The FFT setting window is shown as follows: ![](images/e91395ea27afc67f8e121e064a0bbc4a7845acd7d728bfcf51e967a57a630129.jpg) FFT operating steps are as follows: 1.

What you want to measure and your source signal characteristics help you to determine which window to use. Use the following guidelines to select the best window.
TypeDescriptionsWindow
RectangleBest solution for frequency, worst for amplitudeBest type for measuring the frequency spectrum nonrepetitive signals and measuring frequency components near DC.Recommend to use for:Transients or bursts, the signal level before and after the event are nearly equal.Equal-amplitude sine waves with frequencies those are very close.Broadband random noise with a relatively slow varying spectrum.Owon ADS3000 - How To Set FFT - 1

KaiserThe frequency resolution when using the Kaiser window is fair; the spectral leakage and amplitude accuracy are both good.The Kaiser window is best used when frequenciesare very close to the same value but have wide differing amplitudes (the side lobe level and sh factor are closest to the traditional Gaussian RBW). This window is also good for random signals.Owon ADS3000 - How To Set FFT - 6

Notes for using FFT

■ Use the default dB scale for details of multiple frequencies, even if they have very different amplitudes. Use the dB scale to compare frequencies. ■ DC component or offset can cause incorrect magnitude values of FFT waveform. To minimize the DC component, choose AC Coupling on the source signal. ■ To reduce random noise and aliased components in repetitive or single-shot events, set the oscilloscope acquisition mode to average.

What is Nyquist frequency:

The Nyquist frequency is the highest frequency that any real-time digitizing oscilloscope can acquire without aliasing. This frequency is half of the sample rate. Frequencies above the Nyquist frequency will be under sampled, which causes aliasing. So pay more attention to the relation between the frequency being sampled and measured.

How To Set DIR(Digital Filtering)

Digital filtering supports low pass, high pass, band pass and band reject types, and the specific frequency in the signal can be filtered out by setting the cut-off frequency.
