1.3 Probe 1.3.1 Probe Safety A guard around the probe body provides a finger barrier for protection from electric shock. Picture 1-6 Connect the probe to the oscilloscope and connect the ground terminal to ground before you take any measurements. To avoid electric shock when using the probe, keep fingers behind the guard Note on the probe body.
1.3.2 Probe Compensation As an alternative method to Probe Check, you can manually perform this adjustment to match your probe to the input channel. Picture1-7 Set the Probe option attenuation in the channel menu to 10X. Set the switch to 10X on the probe and connect the probe to channel 1 on the oscilloscope.
1.3.3 Probe Attenuation Setting Probes are available with various attenuation factors which affect the vertical scale of the signal. The Probe Check function verifies that the Probe attenuation option matches the attenuation of the probe. You can push a vertical menu button (such as the CH 1 MENU button), and select the Probe option that matches the attenuation factor of your probe.

Advantage: You can use this mode to reduce random noise. Disadvantage: This mode does not acquire rapid variations in the signal that may occur between samples. This can result in aliasing may cause narrow pulses to be missed. In these cases, you should use the Peak Detect mode to acquire data. Picture 2-41 Sampling modes Peak Detect: Peak Detect mode capture the maximum and minimum values of a signal Finds highest and lowest record points over many acquisitions.
Page 67
Advantage: You can use this mode to reduce random noise. Picture 2-43 Average mode Equivalent Time Sampling: The equivalent time sampling mode can achieve up to 20 ps of horizontal resolution (equivalent to 50GSa/s). This mode is good for observing repetitive waveforms. Real Time Sampling: ADS1000 has the highest Real-time sampling rate up to 2GSa/s.

Chapter3 Application Examples This section presents a series of application examples. These simple examples highlight the features of the oscilloscope and give you ideas for using it to solve your own test problems. Taking simple measurements Taking cursor measurements Capturing a single -shot signal Analyzing signal detail Triggering on a video signal Application of X-Y function...
3.1Taking Simple Measurements Observe a unknown signal in a circuit, display the signal quickly and measure the frequency and peak-to-peak amplitude. 1. Using Auto set To quickly display a signal, follow these steps: 1. Press the CH1 button, set the Probe option attenuation to 10X and set the switch to 10X on the probe.
Page 118
Measure signal peak-to-peak amplitude Press the “MEASURE” button to display “auto measure menu”. Press the top second option button. Press the “Voltage” option button to enter the “Voltage measure menu”. Press the “Source” option button to select input signal channel. Press the “Type”...
3.2 Taking Cursor Measurements You can use the cursors to take time and voltage measurements of a waveform. quickly 3.2.1 Measuring Ring Frequency To measure the ring frequency at the rising edge of a signal, follow these steps: 1). Press the “CURSORS” button to see the “Cursor Menu”. 2).
3.2.2 Measuring Ring Amplitude To measure the amplitude, follow these steps: 1). Press the “CURSORS” button to see the Cursor Menu. 2). Press the “Mode” button to select “Manual”. 3). Press the “Type” option button and select “Voltage”. 4). Press the “Source” option button and select “CH1”. 5).
3.3 Catch the single signal To capture a single event, you need to gather some pre-test knowledge of the signal in order to correctly set up the trigger level and slope .if you are not sure the instance of the signal, you can observe it through auto or normal trigger mode to ensure the trigger level and slope.
3.4 Analyze the signal detail You have a noisy signal displayed on the oscilloscope and you need to know more about it. You suspect that the signal contains much more detail than you can now see in the display. 3.4.1 Looking at a Noisy Signal The signal appears noisy and you suspect that noise is causing problems in your circuit.
3.5 Triggering on a Video Signal Observe the video circuit in a piece of medical equipment and Use the video trigger to obtain a stable display. 3.5.1Triggering on Video Field To trigger on the video fields, follow these steps: 1 . Press the “TRIGGER MENU” button to see “trigger menu” 2 .Press the top option button and select “Video”.
3.6. Application of X-Y function Viewing Impedance Changes in a Network Connect the oscilloscope to monitor the input and output of the circuit To view the input and output of the circuit in an XY display, follow these steps: 1 Press the “CH 1” MENU button and set the Probe option attenuation to 10X. 2) Press the “CH 2”...

3.7 Analyzing a Differential Communication Signal You are having intermittent problems with a serial data communication link, and you suspect poor signal quality. Set up the oscilloscope to show you a snapshot of the serial data stream so you can verify the signal levels and transition times. Because this is a differential signal, you use the math function of the oscilloscope to view a better representation of the waveform.
Chapter 4 prompting messages and troubleshooting 4.1 Prompting messages: Trig level at limit! : Mention you that the trigger Level is at a limit when you turn the Trig level knob. Horizon position at limit! : Mention you that the horizontal position is at a limit when you turn the horizon position knob.

After the inspections above restart the oscilloscope. If the oscilloscope is still not used after the checking, please connect with ATTEN company 2. If there is no signal wave in the screen after gathering the signal, please do as following steps: (1)Check the probe connecting with the signal cable or not (2)Check the signal cable connecting with the BNC connector or not.
Page 130
Check the trigger mode on the trigger interface whether or not in the “normal” or “single”, and check the trigger level is whether or not over the wave range. If yes, please put the trigger level to the middle position or set the trigger mode to the “Auto”...
