6. Operating Instructions 6.1. Function description of operating screen DSO operating screen as below figure can be mainly divided into four parts: 1. Waveform display area; 2. Channel switching area; 3. Main function selection area; 4. Subfunction selection area. The function of each part is described as follows. The details will be further explained in function description. 1. Waveform display area:it displays waveform measured by DSO and the current information set by DSO. 2. Channel switching area:it s used to switch required oscilloscope channels to control. 3. Main function selection area:it s used to set DSO system setup, including the information of screen size, waveform save, system setup and measured voltage, etc. 4. Subfunction selection area:it s used for more detailed setup to fit selection button of main funcation. Any selection button is matched with one set subfunction setup. 13
6.2. Function Description Channel Switch Button Channel switch button can help you to switch the channel you want to control. When the button displays red, it means all the relevant voltage and cursor operation will do the actions on the channel you selected. E.g. when you switch to CH2 to operate Volt/Div button, only waveform of CH2 will be changed on the screen. The channel has not been selected The channel has been selected VOLTS/DIV Knob Volts/Div knob is used to adjust tap position of voltage that the bottom left corner indicates voltage value on the current vertical axis each square. Move your mouse to Volts/Div knob and click left or right button of the mouse to amplify or reduce voltage values. Two small buttons - and + at bottom left and bottom right of Volts/Div knob also can be used to adjust voltage values. Voltage information at bottom right of waveform display screen indicates voltage resolution represented in vertical distance each square. E.g. example of voltage value 500mV each square represented as the above figure. 14
TIME/DIV Knob Time/Div knob is used to adjust time value in horizontal distance each square on DSO screen that the information similar to M 2µs is underneath the screen. It represents 2µs each square on the screen. Click left or right button of the mouse to amplify or reduce time value. Two small buttons - and + at bottom left and bottom right of Time/Div knob also can be used to adjust time values. Time information at underneath of waveform display screen indicates time resolution represented in horizontal distance each square. E.g. example of time value 2µS each square represented as the above figure. Main Function Selection Button The part in red box is 10 main function selection buttons as below figure, and explained respectively as follows. 15
RUN/STOP Run or stop DSO retrieve function. When retrieve function stops, the screen will stay at the final data retrieved. Trigger After clicking Trigger button you can find three options on function submenu as follows, respectively: Source:Triggered signal source that you may select CH1 or CH2 as the source. Slope: Set rising slope or falling slope to be a trigger signal. Mode:Auto, Normal and Single are three triggered modes. Auto: Waveform will be automatically retrieved after no trigger for a certain time. It s a common mode for ordinary oscilloscope. Normal: Waveform is retrieved for only successful trigger. Single: The action will stop once waveform is successful retrieved and stop update. It s used to retrieve fleeting signal. 16
CURSOR Cursor function is mainly used to measure time point and time difference or voltage point and voltage difference for two events occurred, which can acquire more precise information to analyze. When cursor function is run, two cursor lines can be found on DSO waveform display interface and are used to measure time or voltage values cursor-to-cursor. There re two options of vertical line (time) and horizontal line (voltage) for cursor function. When cursor is run, one solid line and the other dashed line will appear in waveform area of the screen. You can use cursor to drag these two cursor lines, which one line being dragged will become a solid line and the other dashed line. Cursor information with initials of the symbols @ and will also appear at upper left of the waveform area. @:Represents voltage value or time point indicated by cursor line. :Represents time difference or voltage different cursor-to-cursor Example for the values indicated at upper left of the above figure is the information between two cursor lines. Orange @: 1.96us at upper right represents time point 1.96uS which yellow cursor line is located in. Pink @: 2.04us represents time point which pink cursor line is located in. :-4.00u represents 4uS time difference in which two cursor lines are located. 17
MEASUREMENT FUNCTION Measurement function is mainly used to measure various information of input signal, through which we can see all parameters of the current signal from sub-function menu, such as frequency, cycle, maximum, minimum, amplitude and average value. We can get required information through the display of sub-function menu, or we can amend corresponding sub-function menu to display information through sub-function menu as below figure. When we push option button of sub-function under Measure function, information menu will pop up allowing us to select displayed information in the corresponding sub-function menu. When using Measure function, we firstly switch the required channel to measure and then select sub-function selection button for required information options to see this information on sub-function menu. 18
DISPLAY FUNCTION MENU We can setup various parameters for waveform display screen through Display function menu. E.g. whether channel waveform displays or not, and the way of signal coupling. Fig:Display function menu Chx Display:Whether waveform of CH1 or CH2 is displayed. Chx Coupling:Coupling setup is divided into AC coupling and DC coupling. When DC is setting, all signals will be retrieved. When AC is setting, signal will filter DC components but retrieve AC signals. Chx Probe:Setting turndown ratio of probe. When turndown ratio is setting 1:1 or 1:10, the corresponding setting must be done to show correct numerical value. 19
FFT:Analysis function of frequency spectrum. FFT source can be set CH1, CH2 or FFT function close through subfunction menu. When using FFT function, DSO can switch input time domain signal into frequency domain signal that we can observe energy distribution of input signal in each frequency band. Under FFT frequency spectrum node, we can mark frequency value through cursor line function of the Course. We can move cursor line to the highest power point of frequency spectrum signal as below figure. The information of cursor line at upper left indicates the frequency 1MHzat the highest energy point for input signal, which is same as signal frequency from the measurement of Measure. FFT Zoom:FFT Zoom function is to signify FFT signal, which is used to see more detailed frequency spectrum signal by amplifying 2X, 5X and 10X through sub-function menu. You can move the below scrollbar to select what you want to review. Fig:FFT frequency spectrum functio 20
PRINT Function Key Print function can print measured waveform through printer. When Print Function Key is push, print setup window will be popped up. You can select printer from pull-down menu of Name and click OK to print the measured waveform. Fig:Print setup 21
SAVE To File Function Key Measured waveform image file or data can be saved in the computer through Save to file function, which can be used for reference of data processing or comparison in the future. The current Save to file function can support two formats of bmp file and Matlab data file. SAVE:Save the measured signal as BMP file. Export to Clipboard:Temporarily save the measured waveform to RAM and select to paste as any format of image file on window Paint or any image processing software. Matlab:Save as Matlab data file (.m). After the signal is saved as.m file, Matlab software can be used to load the saved data for data processing. Note: Matlab is a pure one-dimensional array file and filename extension can be changed to.txt for the use of other programming languages. 22
