Then, the period, frequency, mean and peak-to-peak voltage will be displayed at the bottom left of the screen and change periodically. The digital storage oscilloscope takes the lead in providing the convenience capturing of such non-periodic signals as pulse and burr, etc. If you intent to capture a single signal, you cannot set the trigger level and the trigger edge unless you have particular prior knowledge of this signal. For example, if the pulse is the logic signal of a TTL level, the trigger level should be set to 2 volts and the trigger edge be set as the rising edge trigger.

If it is uncertain as to the signal, you can make an observation of it in advance under the automatic or ordinary mode to determine the trigger level and the trigger edge. The operation steps are as follows. Set the probe menu attenuation coefficient to 10X and that of the switch in the probe to 10X. Adjust the VOLTS/DIV and SEC/DIV knobs to set up a proper vertical and horizontal ranges for the signal to be observed. Press the Acquire button to display the Acquire menu.

Press the H4 button to choose (rising) as the Slope.

Rotate the TRIG LEVEL knob and adjust the trigger level to the mid-value of the signal to be measured. If the Trigger State Indicator at the top of the screen does not indicate Ready , push down the Run/Stop button and start acquiring, waiting the emergence of the signal in conformity with the trigger conditions. If a signal reaches to the set trigger level, one sampling will be made and then displayed in the screen. With this function, any random occurrence can be captured easily.

Taking the burst burr of larger amplitude for example, set the trigger level to the value just greater than the normal signal level, and then presses the Run/Stop button and waits. When there is a burr occurring, the instrument will trigger automatically and record the waveform generated during the period around the trigger time. With the HORIZONTAL POSITION knob in the horizontal control area in the panel rotated, you can change the horizontal position of the trigger position to obtain the negative delay, making an easy observation of the waveform before the burr occurs. Measuring Gain of the Amplifier in the Metering Circuit.

Set the probe menu attenuation coefficient as 10X and that of the switch in the probe as 10X.

If the signal is interfered by the noise, the noise may cause a failure in the circuit. For the analyzing of the noise in detail, please operate the instrument according to the following steps. Press the H1 button to display ACQU Mode menu. In this case, the screen display contains the waveform of a random noise.

Especially when the time base is set as Low Speed, then noise peak and burr contained in the signal can be observed with the peak detection. Separate Noises from the Signal. When analyze the waveform of a signal, you should remove the noise in it.

For the reduction of the random noise in the oscilloscope display, please operate the instrument according to the following steps. Press the F3 button, turn the M knob and observe the waveform obtained from averaging the waveforms of different average number. After the averaging, the random noise is reduced and the detail of the signal is easier to be observed.

Shown as follows, after the noise is removed, the burrs on the rising and falling edges appear. Examine the Phase Difference between Signals of two Channels. Example: Test the phase change of the signal after it passes through a circuit network. Connect the oscilloscope with the circuit and monitor the input and output signals of the circuit. For the examination of the input and output of the circuit in the form of X-Y coordinate graph, please operate according to the following steps.

Set the probe menu attenuation coefficient for 10X and that of the switch in the probe for 10X. Connect the probe of channel 1 to the input of the network and that of Channel 2 to the output of the network.

How to check the availability of the specified maximum memory depth (10 Mpts per channel) in ADS-2xxxM/ADS-2xxxMV series oscilloscopes? How to change language settings.

Connecting to your device through LAN. How to see my Serial Number? Frozen screen or memory full. High voltage measurement testing are not allowed over 300 volts. The measured voltage amplitude value is 10 times greater or smaller than the actual value.

After the oscilloscope is powered on the display remains dark, what should I do? When changing the horizontal sweep on the digital oscilloscope at different horizontal points observed inexplicable change in the form of the same signal, why is this happening? After the Average value sampling is set in the Acqu Mode or the longer duration is set in the Persist in Display the display rate is slowed down. How to save data in a USB Flash Drive. No Display Responses to the Push-down of RUN/STOP.

There is wave form displayed, but it is not stable. The time base setting maybe is too slow. Turn the horizontal SCALE knob to increase horizontal resolution.

Maybe the display Type is set to "Vectors". Set it to "Dots" mode. Automatic calibration (auto-calibration) allows you to increase the precision of your oscilloscope operation when the environment temperature is changing.

Auto-calibration procedure should be made to achieve the maximum precision of the oscilloscope operation in terms of the environment temperature changing of 5°C. To call auto calibration procedure press UTILITY and then press H1.

After that use the rotary switch to select Adjust. Automatic settings menu includes the following items. Self Cal call of auto calibration procedure. Default call of factory settings (the settings recorded into the device memory).

Auto-calibration procedure looks like as follows. Before you start auto calibration procedure its necessary to disconnect the probes and the cables from the oscilloscope inputs. Use the rotary switch to select Adjust. You will see a message window on the oscilloscope display.

Press H 2 button to launch auto calibration procedure or press any other button if you do not want to make auto calibration. Normally the oscilloscope allows saving files to flash memory in. To save oscillogram data for further reading in MS Excel you may use Aktakom DSO-Reader Light. Software which saves oscillogram data in AUL format. Saved in AUL format files can be converted using Aktakom AULFConverter.

Csv format that can be read in MS Excel program. For more information refer to Aktakom AULFConverter. The memory depth can be easily checked in the special area of the device screen. You may calculate the memory depth automatically.

Apply 1 MHz square signal from the generator to the oscilloscope. Press Auto button of the oscilloscope to get the stable image. Here and further on its better to operate in the mode of dots signal mapping. Press ACQUIRE button to open the recording main menu. Then press H2 functional button to enter the mode of the memory depth specification and then press F5 to specify the memory depth of 10 Mpts.

Therefore press Run/Stop button of the oscilloscope. Zoom in the oscillogram to see the distance between the points.

In the image you may see that the distance between the points corresponds to 1 division. With 1 ns/div sweep the points are located in 1 ns. Afterwards set the sweep to see the whole captured signal on the display. In our case the best sweep for the whole captured signal display is 5 ms/div.

In this case the captured signal takes 2 divisions meaning that its length is 10 ms. Now you may calculate the quantity of points which can fit in the recorded signal. Therefore divide the recorded signal length of 10 ms by the distance between the points 1 ns. Namely: 10 ms/1 ns = 10 Mpts. Thus you may see that the specified maximum memory depth of AWG series AKTAKOM oscilloscopes is correct 10 Mpts.

Memory depth calculation basing on the software. Apply a signal to CHA oscilloscope input. You will see the image just like in the picture below. Connect a storage device to the USB-port.

Save the data on this storage device. The saving process can take several seconds.

All further data proceeding will be on your PC. In the PC program for the saved data proceeding open File tab and then item Open. Select the saved file and confirm pressing Open key.

Since the aim of this task is to confirm the possibility to save a signal with memory depth of 10 Mpts on the oscilloscope it means that signal data table will be much more convenient comparing to the graphics form. You will see the oscilloscope data in a table form (pages from 1 up to 2000). By scrolling the pages up to the last one (with number 2000) you may make sure that the maximum memory depth achieves 10 Mpts/ch. Scroll language options using main control knob. Using your DS-WAVE application software you may connect to your device through LAN. Please follow the example below. Then you will be able to type the IP you configured in your device.

The factory default IP is 192.168.1.72 but if your LAN range is on a different octave please change the IP and GW in your equipment to the correct mask. The application port is 3000 please don't change it.

Your serial number is printed in a label with barcode in a back of your oscilloscope as well as in a box but if you want to confirm that number you may press the utility button and go to config (H1) and press about (H5). Your serial number will be display in your screen.

During long period of extreme oscilloscope operations with dual channel different signals the use of memory may freeze the equipment instead of switch it off so you may hold last measurement. Frozen screen in those cases is not a general malfunction instead you do make it run out of memory.

Extreme use of memory is not supported for more than 5 to 10 minutes of permanent measurements. Even when you can read in a probe 600V PK CAT I. The Aktakom, Owon or Rigol oscilloscopes does not support more than 300V RMS or 400V PK. Check whether the channel attenuation coefficient and the attenuation coefficient of the probe used is match.

Please implement the following fault treatment procedure. Check whether the power cable is connected properly. Ensure the power switch is turned on. Restart the instrument after completing the checks above. If the oscilloscope still can not work normally, please call for service.

In fact, this is not a problem. Just keep in mind that you're using a digital oscilloscope, which digitizes the signal with different sampling rates depending on the selected horizontal sweep, and then connects the digitized points with strait line while restoring the real shape of the signal. Your first screen shows that you are measuring voltage 50 Hz with the 10 ms / div sweep and a sampling frequency of 20 kHz Ks/s. One signal period (20 ms), digitized in this mode, 20E-03 (sec) 20E03 (1/sec) = 400 points. This is enough to properly restore and interpolate a sine wave of 50 Hz i.

In a period of 20 ms. Normal display, with a sweep 10 ms / div. Distortion of the same signal at 10 s / div sweep. Your second screen is set to sweep 10 sec / div, and sample rate on a sweep turned to 20 samples per second (20 Sa / s). One signal period 20 ms had: 20E-03 (sec) 20 (1/sec) = 0.4 points.

That means that to restore (to interpolate the points) a sine wave with less than one point in time is impossible, so you get this mess (known as "aliasing" or a false frequency) formed by the beats of the measured frequency and sampling frequency. In order to correctly install a data collection in a digital oscilloscope one should follow a simple rule - the sampling rate must be at least 5-10 times higher than the frequency signal, in that case you will not have the issues that we just discussed. This applies to all digital oscilloscopes and in no way connected to any particular make or model of oscilloscope or its probes. It is a normal phenomenon.

This oscilloscope allows you to save data to an external USB Flash Drive only if the drive is formatted with FAT32. If you haven't noticed one huge change with Windows 7 is that FAT32 is no longer an option on formatting drives.

You are now left with the options of either NTFS or exFAT. OK so your asking what is exFAT? Well its not FAT32, acutally its compatible with FAT64. So let's Format external USB Flash drive with FAT32 using DOS. As you can see mine has no level in the picture bellow.

You also need to note which drive letter it is. Next thing you need to do is to find your command prompt. Once you get to command prompt you will need to type this. Note: You need to change the letter G to the letter of your drive.

Then just answer the questions as you like for a volume label, etc. It will take time according to the driver size.

Now for more information of "How to Save and Recall a Waveform details" go to equipment User's Guide or find it by the following links. For the ADS-2061M go to PDF page 53 (49 if printed) and do not forget that a USB Flash Drive is an external memory. For all other ADS models (2022, 2042M, 2061M, 2062 & M, 2102 & M, 2152 & M) go to PDF page 42 (74 if printed) See User's Guide.

Check whether Normal or Signal is chosen for Polarity in the TRIG MODE menu and the trigger level exceeds the wave form range. If it is, make the trigger level is centered in the screen or set the trigger mode as Auto. In addition, with the AUTOSET button pressed, the setting above can be completed automatically. Check whether the Source item in the TRIG MODE menu is in conformity with the signal channel used in the practical application. Check on the trigger Type item: The common signal chooses the Edge trigger mode for Type and the video signal the Video.

Only if a proper trigger mode is applied, the wave form can be displayed steadily. Try to change the trigger coupling into the high frequency suppress and the low frequency suppress to smooth the high frequency or low frequency noise triggered by the interference.
