3.3 Check your Oscilloscope before first use

A quick start up check is required before using the instrument to make sure the

instrument functions normal according to its specification.

Power on the instrument and Press any key to enter operating mode when prompt

“Press any key entering system”. Select Menu UTILITY and then F2 for “Recall

Factory” settings. The default value for attenuation coefficient of Probe is x10.

Fig.4 Start-up check

Choose a Probe supplied and set it Probe switch to x10, connect it to CH1 input.

Connect Probe tip to 1 Khz 5V test signal output and ground clamp shown as

follows:

Fig.5 Test Signal to Probe for CH1

Press AUTO SET on top of Front panel near Main Menus. The 1 KHz and 5V

signal will be displayed on the screen after few seconds, shown as Fig.6

Fig.6 Screen shot after performing AUTO SET



Repeat above steps for CH2 to make sure both channels are functional.

3.4 Adjust your Probes

The Probe supplied is a pair of Passive Probe with x1 and x10 attenuation and it is

adjustable. It’s important to adjust the compensation whenever you use x10 for testing

and reduce the chance to have a wrong measurement. Here are the procedures to you

should follow for the adjustment of compensation.

• Set the attenuation coefficient of your Probe to x10, Switch on your instrument and go

to CH1 MENU, than F3 to change the Probe to 10X. Connect your Probe properly to

built-in 1kz 5V test signal output marked with PROBE COMP, Press AUTOSET to

continue.

• Compare the waveform displayed on your with these reference and make sure your

waveform is not overcompensated or under compensated.

Fig.7 Reference Waveforms

• Repeat this if needed. Adjust the Probe using supplied screw until you get a square

wave looked like reference waveform 2.

Fig.8 Adjust to compensate the Probe.



3.5 Set correct Attenuation Coefficient for Probes

CAUSTION: The default factory attenuation coefficient set on the instrument for

both Channel 1 and Channel 2 are 10X.

The standard Probes supplied support 1X and 10X. Probes support 100X or 1000x are

available to purchase for an extra cost.

Choosing different attenuation coefficients changes the vertical scale factor of the

display. It’s always important to make sure attenuation coefficient on both the

Channel of the scope and the Probe connected to that channel are matched with the

same settings.

Switch on your Scope and Select the CH1 MENU OR CH2 MENU, under Probe

section, Press F3 to choose Attenuation Coefficient you want to use. Once it is done,

the scope would remember the setting until it is changed.

Check your Probe before connecting to Input Channel and make sure it is set to the

same setting of that Channel on the Oscilloscope. Fig 9 shows you where to change

the settings on your Probe.

Fig.9 Attenuation Switch

CAUSTION: The Probe is limited to work with up to 5mhz signal when using

x1, to use the full bandwidth of the scope, You should always set to use x10.



3.6 Use Probe safely

There is a safety ring on the Probe to protect you getting any electric shock, as it is shown

on Fig.10. Please take caution use the Probe.

Fig.10 Finger Guard

Warning:

• Always keep your finger behind the safety ring while any tests are in operation to

avoid electric shock.

• Do NOT touch any metal Part of the Probe including the tip during any

operations or when it is connected to any power source.

• Always connect the Ground terminal of the Probe to the earth before taking any

measurements.

3.7 Do Self-calibration

All our Oscilloscopes have a built-in function called “Do Self Calibration”. This is to set the

Oscilloscope to its best possible condition to help users for a quick and accurate measurement.

You can do this at any time if you wish to, please make sure to run this function whenever the change

of ambient temperature is 5 or over, this is to ensure you always get the best possible measurements

from your instrument.

Before carrying out a self –calibration, please disconnect all Probes or inputs from the

Oscilloscope. Press “UTILITY” then button F3 which is next to “Do Self Cal”. You will

see a Pop-up yellow box to reminder you to remove any Probes and other attachments to

the inputs of Oscilloscope, once they are all done, Press F3 again. The Oscilloscope would

start its self-calibration route and the yellow box remains to show you the progress till the

process is done.

Warning: DO NOT TOUCH OR CONNECT ANYTHING TO THE INPUTS WHEN

IT IS DOING SELF-CALIBRATION. IT COULD CAUSE POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO

THE INSTRUMENT AS WELL AS THE OPERATOR.



3.8 The Vertical Controls

As it is shown in Fig.11, there are a few knobs above/under CH1/CH2 Menu for changing

the vertical level of the signal, we call them VERTICAL CONTROLS.

Fig.11 Vertical Controls Area

1. By rotating the Position controls on the top. It moves the CH1 or CH2 trace up

and down on the display, which means the baseline of that channel is changing. If

Coupling in DC mode, you can quickly to measure the DC component of the

signal between trace and the ground signal. Under the AC mode, the DC

component would be filtered out to show a higher sensitivity signal of AC

component.

2. By rotating the knob “VOLTS/DIV”, the vertical scale Factor for corresponding

channel would change between 5mv to 5v(or 50mv to 50v when using x10 etc).

3. Value displayed on the bottom of the screen for each channel changes respectively

when using the Vertical control.



3.9 The Horizontal controls

As it is shown in Fig.12, there are few button and knobs on the right side of the front

panel. We call them the “HORIZONTAL CONTROLS”. This is where you can

change the horizontal position of your signal and the time base settings for the

channel.

Fig.12 Horizontal Control Area

1. By rotating the Knob “SEC/DIV”, it changes the time base settings from 5ns to

5s.For PDS5022s, it steps 1-2.5-5, for other PDS models it steps 1-2-5

accordingly.

2. By rotating the Knob “HORIZONTAL POSITION”, it changes the horizontal

position of the signal as well as the displacement of triggering signal if trigger has

been set.

3. By pushing down the button “HORIZONTAL MENU”, you enter in WINDOW

settings, this allows user to set up a window to include the signal which they are

interested in and zoom it in to look more details.

4. Again use Knob “HORIZONTAL POSITION” to move the position and Knob

“SEC/DIV” for the size of WIDNOW, Press F3 next to “Zone Window” to

expend the window on the screen.

5. There are areas on the top and bottom of the screen where values are displayed.

Values representing horizontal position, main time base and the width of the

window would change when Horizontal controls change.



3.10 The Triggering Controls

As it is shown in Fig.13, there are four buttons and one knob make up

“TRIGGERING CONTROLS”.

Fig.13 Trigger Control Area

1. TRIG MENU

Press this button to bring up TRIG MODE. This is where you can change trigger Type,

selecting channel, Slope, Coupling and Sensitivity.

2. LEVEL

This knob is to change the trigger level vertically. By rotating the knob, the level of

the trigger cursor “V” for selected channel would move up and down. Trigger level

displayed on the bottom changes accordingly.

3 “SET TO 50% ”

It’s a shortcut to set the trigger level half way 50% of its signal.

3. “FORCE TRIG”

Press this button to force a trigger signal, which is mainly applied to the “Normal" and

"Single” trigger mode.

4. “SET TO ZERO”

Press this to reset the horizontal position of the trigger back to the middle line of the

display.



4. Use more of your Oscilloscope

After finishing Chapter 3, you now have the basic knowledge of your oscilloscope

and accessories. If you have not read Chapter 3 and don’t have experience about our

oscilloscope, we recommend you to go back and spend few minutes for a start.

In this chapter we more focus on using and setting up your scope ready for a test.

Here is the list of topics we are going to cover in the next 30-40 minutes.

some basic knowledge on which option you want to choose.

Type Characteristics and use Window

Type

Rectangle

Have best resolution for frequencies measurement, but worst for

magnitude.

Recommend to use for:

• Measure transients or bursts where the signal levels before and after

the event are nearly equal.

• Equal-amplitude sine waves with frequencies that are very close

• Random noise within a broadband with a relatively slow varying

spectrum.

Hamming

Better for frequency measurement than Hanning, and good for

magnitude as well. Recommend to use:

• Measure sine, periodic and narrow banded random noise.

• Work well on transients or bursts where the signal levels before and

after the event are significantly different.

Hanning

Better resolution for measuring magnitude, but OK frequency

measurement. Recommend to use for:

• Measure sine, periodic and narrow banded random noise.

• Work on transients or bursts where the signal levels before and after

the event are significantly different.

Blackman

Best for measuring magnitude, but worst for frequency. Recommend to

use for:

• Measure predominantly single frequency waveforms and look for

higher order harmonics.

Here are examples for measuring sine wave with a frequency of 1Khz under the selection of



four different window for FFT.

Fig.23 Hanning window Fig.24 Blackman window

Notes for using FFT:

• Use Zoom function for FFT waveform if it is necessary.

• Use dBVrms for details of multiple frequencies measurement

• Use Linear rms to compare frequencies.

• DC or offset affect magnitude of waveform, Use AC mode on source signal instead of DC.

• Set acquisition mode to “AVERAGE” to reduce effect of random noise

What is Nyquist frequency?

The Nyquist frequency is half the sampling frequency of Digital Oscilloscope. It is sometimes known as

the folding frequency of a sampling of DSO. The aliasing can be avoided if the Nyquist frequency is

greater than the maximum frequency of the signal being sampled.



CAUSION：：：：

While FFT mode is turned on, DO NOT USE THESE SETTINGS:

• Horizontal Window setting.

• Change source channel in CH1/CH2 Setup menu.

• Turn on XY Format.

• Trigger control “SET 50%”

• Auto-scale function.

4.1.6 Use VERTICAL POSITION and VOLTS/DIV Knobs

• The VERTICAL POSITION controls are used to adjust the vertical level of

waveforms, including the captured waveforms and calculated waveforms.

• The VOLTS/DIV controls are for changing the resolution of vertical scale, the

sensitivity of the vertical division steps as 1-2-5. Turning Clockwise to increase

vertical sensitivity and anti-clockwise to decrease.

• When using these controls, the changed value and selected channel are displayed on

the bottom left corner of the screen in yellow. Information disappears few seconds

after user releases the control.

4.3 Use Trigger Controls

You are already familiar with trigger controls after reading Chapter 3. These are TRIG

LEVEL, SET TO 50%, FORCE TRIG, SET TO ZERO and TRIG MENU. We now are

going through each of these controls in details and use them for test.

Your oscilloscope can collect data and plot waveform simultaneously. The waveform would

not be stable and meaningful unless a proper trigger is set up. Very often in the tests, users

are interested in events/data after incoming signal has been triggered. Once your

Oscilloscope detects a trigger, it starts to acquire data and plot waveform from this particular

point, it is what we call- trigger point.

4.3.1 Trigger Menu for PDS5022S、、、、PDS6042S、、、、PDS6062S、、、、PDS6062T

There are two types of trigger for models mentioned above-Edge Trigger and Video

Trigger. Each type has its function menu for users to set them up. Press Trigger Menu to

active your trigger settings. Press F1 next to the display to switch trigger from one type to

another.

Use Edge Trigger

Edge trigger is one of the common triggers you would find on Oscilloscope. The Trigger

happens when the input signal going over a threshold of Voltage on the set direction. You

can choose Rising edge or Falling edge for how you want the trigger to start. Here is the

Edge Trigger Menu shown as Fig. 30.

Now there is a yellow window popping up to ask you for a confirmation. Press F3 again, the

Oscilloscope starts the self-Calibration and yellow window remains till the calibration is

done. PLEASE BE WARE THAT NO CONTACTS TO ANY INPUTS CHANNELS TILL

THE CALIBRATION IS DONE.

4.4.7 Use Automatic Measurement

This is where users would come across every time they use our scopes. It is to take the

measurements by using Oscilloscope. Our oscilloscope does this automatic every time user

press MEASURE button. It is capable to work out 20 different types of measurements, and

there are 4 measurements can be displayed on the screen at one time.

The 20 different types of measurements including: Frequency, Cycle, Mean, Peak-to-Peak

5.2 Example: Working out the Gain of a Amplifier in a Metering Circuit

The purpose of this example is to work out the Gain of an Amplifier in a Metering Circuit. First we

use Oscilloscope to measure the amplitude of input signal and output signal from the circuit, then

to work out the Gain by using given formulas.

Step 1

Go to Both CH1 MENU and CH2 MENU and then their Probe menu to set attenuation coefficient

as 10X, turn the switch on the Probes to 10X as well.

Step 2

Connect the Probe1 through Channel 1 to its signal source-the input signal in the circuit. And

Probe 2 through Channel 2 to its signal source-the output signal in the circuit.

Step 3

Press AUTOSET button to let Oscilloscope run through a pre-set functions and apply them to

both signals coming into Channel 1 and Channel 2.

Step 4

• Press MEASURE to activate measurement function menu.

• Press F1 next to Source to highlight Source.

• Press F2 to set Source as CH1.

• Press F3 to set Source as CH2.

• Press F1 to highlight Type.

• Press F2 to set Pk-Pk.

• Press F3 to set Pk-Pk.

• Get Pk-Pk readings of Channel 1 and Channel 2. (see Fig.57).

Fig. 57 Measuring input and output signal in a metering circut

Step 5

Calculate the gain for amplifier using this formula.

Gain = Output Signal / Input signal (52.00v/5.200v)=10

Gain (db) = 20×log (gain) =20xlog(10)=20 (db)



5.3 Example: Capturing a Single pulse

It’s quite easy to use Digital Oscilloscope to capture non-periodic signal, such as a pulse

and burr etc. But the common problem is how to set up a trigger if you have no knowledge

of the signal? With various functions supported by our Oscilloscope, user can solve this

problem by taking an easy approach. First to run your test using auto trigger to find out the

closest trigger level and trigger type, this helps user to make few small adjustments to

achieve a proper trigger level and mode. Here is how we achieve this.

Step 1

Go to Both CH1 MENU and CH2 MENU and then their Probe menu to set attenuation coefficient

as 10X, turn the switch on the Probes to 10X as well.

Step 2

Connect the Probe1 through Channel 1 to its signal source and adjust VOLTS/DIV and SEC/DIV

controls to set up a proper range of Voltage and time base for the signal.

Step 3

Press ACQUIRE to use ACQUIRE MODE, then F2 to select Peak Detect.

Step 4

Press TRIG MENU to activate Trigger MODE, F1 to select Single, F2 to choose CH1

as a source, F3 to select Edge for the type, F4 to set Rising for the slope and finally adjust

the trigger level to the roughly 50% of the incoming signal.

Step 5

Check the Trigger State Indicator on the top of the screen, if it is not Ready, push down

RUN/STOP and start Acquire, wait for trigger to happen, if not adjust the level repeat

Step 5 again until a sampled signal captured and display on the screen.

By using this approach, a random pulse can be easily captured. For instance, if we want to

find a burst burr of high amplitude, set the trigger level to a slightly higher value of the

average signal level, Press RUN/STOP and wait a trigger, once it happens, a triggered

waveform would be captured. User also can change the Horizontal triggering position to

have more details of how and when the burr happens. (Fig.66 gives you more details).

Fig.66 Capturing a Single pulse



5.4 Example: Noise analysis and reduction

Noise is very common inside most of the electronic signal. To find out what’s inside the

noise and reduce the level of noise is very important function our oscilloscope is capable

to offer.

Noise Analysis

The level of noise sometime indicates a failure of electronic circuit. The Peak Detect

functions acts an important role to help you to find out the details of these noise. Here is

how we do it:

Step 1

Apply Square waveform to CH1 as source signal, Press ACQUIRE button to activate

ACQU MODE menu.

Step 2

Press F2 to select Peak Detect function. The signal displayed on the screen containing

some noise, by turning on Peak Detect function and changing time base to slow down the

incoming signal, any peaks or burr would be detected by the function. (See Fig.67).

Fig.67 Signal with Noises



Reduce the effect of noise from your signal

When focusing on signal itself, the important thing is to reduce the noise level as lower as

possible, this would enable user to have more details about the signal. The Average

function offered by our Oscilloscope can help you to achieve this.

Here are the steps for how to enable Average function.

Step 1

Apply square waveform to CH1 as a source signal. Press ACQUIRE button to bring up

ACQU MODE menu.

Step 2

Press F3 select Average, Press F4 to select number of data points for average. Available

choices of number are 16, 32, 64 and 128. The higher the number, the better result user

will get.

User would see a much reduced random noise level and make it easy to see more details of

the signal itself. As it is in Fig. 68, after applying Average, user can easily indentify the

burrs on the rising and falling edges of some part of the signal (see Fig.68).

5.5 Example: Examine the Phase shift between two related signals

X-Y mode is a very useful when examining the Phase shift of two related signals. This

example takes you step by step to check out the phase change of the signal after it passes a

specified circuit. Input signal to the circuit and output signal from circuit are used as

source signals.

Step 1

Set up attenuation coefficient to 10X through Probe menu for both CH1 and CH2. Switch

Probes to 10X. For source signals, CH1 takes in input signal to the circuit and CH2 takes

in output signal from circuit.

Step 2

Press AUTOSET, Adjust the VOLTS/DIV for both CH1 and CH2 to the same amplitude

level to get an ellipse.

Step 2

Press DISPLAY to activate DISP SET menu, then F3 to select XY mode. Now the

waveform is displayed as Lissajou’s curve, adjust VOLTS/DIV and VERTICAL

POSITION to get the best possible display, work out the phase shift as in Fig. 69

Fig.69 Lissajous Graph

Sine (q) =A/B or C/D

Where q is the angle of phase shift, A, B, C, and D as them in Fig .69.

The angle of phase shift q =± arcsine (A/B) or ± arcsine (C/D).

The signal must be

centered and are kept in

the horizontal direction.



5.6 Example: Triggering Video Signal outputted from a TV set

The Oscilloscope supports both Video Field trigger and Video Line trigger. Video signal

from TV is used as a source signal. The function triggers the input video signal to get a

proper signal displayed for further analysis.

Use Video Field Trigger

Here are how to set up this trigger:

• Press TRIG MENU to bring up the TRIG MODE.

• Press F1 to select Single for type.

• Press F2 to select CH1 as a Source.

• Press F3 to select Video for Type.

• Press F4 to select Field for Sync.

• Adjust VOLTS/DIV, VERTICAL POSITION and SEC/DIV to get the waveform

displayed properly (see Fig.70).

Fig.70 Waveform captured by using Video Field Trigger



Use Video Line Trigger

Here are how to set up this trigger:

• Press TRIG MENU activate TRIG MODE menu.

• Press F1 to select Single for type.

• Press F2 to select CH1 as Source.

• Press F3 to select Video as type.

• Press F4 to select Line for Sync.

6. Troubleshooting

• Oscilloscope is powered on but no Display.

Check power socket/power are connected and make sure all switches are on. If the

problem persists, please contact our Customer Support & Service Team.

• Oscilloscope is powered on, the backlight is on, but can’t see anything as screen is too

bright or dark. (Model PDS5022s, PDS6042s and PDS6062s)

Brightness level of display is wrong. Please adjust the brightness control under the display

to the right level.

• Oscilloscope is powered on and application is running, only two flat lines, but no

waveform displayed.

First to check Probes contact to make sure the connections are OK and the signals are

coming through BNC connector. Second to check the source signal is connected properly

to Probes.

• The Voltage reading is 10 times or 1/10 of the actual value.

Look at the attenuation coefficient for the input channel and the attenuation ration of the

probe, to make sure they are match.

• There is a wave form displayed on the screen, but jumping up and down.

Check your trigger settings to make sure you are using the right source and right choice of

settings.

• Waveform stops and no change whatsoever when pressing RUN/STOP.

Check the Polarity settings in TRIG MODE menu and make sure the trigger level is

within the range of your input signal. Or Press AUTOSET for a quick check.

• The displaying of waveform seems getting slow after increasing AVERAGE value in

ACQU MODE or a longer time is set in the DISP MODE.

It’s normal as the Oscilloscope is working hard on many more data points you’ve included.
