7. Run control keys
The Run/Stop key will illuminate in green when the oscilloscope is looking for a
trigger. When the trigger mode is set to Normal mode, the display will not
update until a trigger is found. If the trigger mode is set to Auto mode, the
oscilloscope looks for a trigger, and if no trigger is found, it will be triggered
automatically and the waveform of input signals will be showed immediately.
Press the Run/Stop key again to stop acquiring data and the run/stop key will
illuminate in red. Now you can span across and zoom in on the acquired
waveform.
Press Single key to make a single acquisition of data.
The key will illuminate in yellow until the oscilloscope is triggered.
5. Vertical controls
You can use the vertical position control knob to move the waveforms up or
down on the display. There is one vertical position control knob for each
channel. You can press the channel key CH1 or CH2 to switch the channel on or
off, or access the channel’s menu in the softkeys. There is one channel ‘On/Off’
key for each channel. You can press the Math key to access FFT (Fast Fourier
Transform), multiply, subtract, and add functions. You can press the REF key to
save or load a reference waveform from the internal memory or external USB
mass storage device. You can use the vertical scale control knob to change the
vertical scale of a waveform. The waveform display will contract or expand
relative to the ground reference level. There is one vertical scale control knob
for each channel.
6. Horizontal controls
When the oscilloscope is running, the horizontal position control knob lets you
set the acquisition window relative to the trigger point. When the oscilloscope is
stopped, you can turn this knob to span through the data horizontally. This let
you see the captured waveform before or after the trigger.
Press the horizontal Menu key to access the menu where you can split the
oscilloscope display in Main and Delayed section, and where you can select X-
Y and Roll modes.
Turn the horizontal sweep speed control knob to adjust the sweep speed. This
changes the time base on the display. When adjusted after the waveform has
been acquired and the oscilloscope is stopped, this has the effect of stretching
out or squeezing the waveform horizontally.
7. Trigger controls
These controls are used to control how the oscilloscope triggers to capture
waveforms.
8. Probe compensation terminals :
Use these two probe compensation terminals to match each probe’s
characteristics to the oscilloscope channel to which it is connected.
9. External trigger input
This is the external trigger input BNC connector.

Basic Operation
Probe Compensation :
Perform this adjustment to match your probe to the input channel. This should be
done whenever you attach a passive probe for the first time to any input channel. A
poorly compensated probe can introduce measurement errors.
1. Connect the oscilloscope probe to channel 1. Attach the probe tip and reference
lead to the 3Vp-p@1KHz terminal and to the chassis terminal, then press Auto
key.
2. Use a nonmetallic tool to adjust the trimmer capacitor on the probe for the
flattest pulse possible. The trimmer capacitor is located on the probe BNC
connector.

3. Connect probes to all other oscilloscope channels. Repeat the procedure for each
channel. This matches each probe to each channel.
Using Autoset : 7000 Series Digital Storage Oscilloscopes provide the Autoset
function which sets the vertical, horizontal, and trigger controls automatically.
Autoset function finds, turns on, and scales any channel with a repetitive waveform
that has a frequency of at least 50 Hz, a duty cycle greater than 0.5%, and an
amplitude of at least 10mV peak-to-peak. Any channels that do not meet these
requirements are turned off.
When you are using more than one channel, the Autoset function sets the vertical
controls for each channel and used the lowest-numbered active channel to set the
horizontal and trigger controls.
To configure the oscilloscope quickly and automatically, press the Auto key to
display the connected signals that are active.
To configure the oscilloscope to display multiple cycles, press Multi-Cycle softkey in
the Auto menu.
To configure the oscilloscope to display a single cycle, press Single Cycle softkey in
the Auto menu.
To undo the effects of Autoset, press the Undo Autoset softkey in the Auto menu
before pressing any other key.
This is useful when you have unintentionally pressed the Auto key or do not like the
settings Autoset has selected and want to return to your previous settings.

Trigger Controls :
The trigger controls determine when the oscilloscope starts to acquire and display the
waveform. When a trigger is found, the oscilloscope will acquire sufficient data to
display the waveform. Trigger controls are functional when the oscilloscope works
under Main or Delayed horizontal mode.
Trigger Controls
Figure 29
Normal mode :
Use Normal trigger mode for low repetitive-rate signals or when Auto trigger is not
required. In Normal mode the oscilloscope must fill the pre-trigger buffer with data
before it will begin searching for a trigger event. While searching for the trigger, the
oscilloscope overflows the pre-trigger buffer; the first data put into the buffer is the
first pushed out. When the trigger event is found, the oscilloscope will fill the post-
trigger buffer and display the results. If the acquisition was initiated by run/stop, the
process repeats. If the acquisition was initiated by single, then the acquisition stops.
In either Auto or Normal mode, the trigger may be missed. This is because the
oscilloscope will not recognize a trigger event until the pre-trigger buffer is full.

General Problems :
If there is no display on the screen
• Check that the power cord is connected to the oscilloscope and to a live power
source.
• Check that the power switch is on.
• Check that the display contrast is adjusted properly.
• Contact our engineer if there is still no display.
If there is no waveform displayed :
• Check that the oscilloscope probe lead wires are securely inserted into the
connector assembly and that the probe clips make good contact with the probe
lead wires.
• Check that the probe clips are securely connected to points in the circuit under
test and that the ground is connected.
• Check that the circuit under test is power on.
• Press the Auto key again.
If the waveform display is not stable :
• Check that the trigger Source channel is actually the channel to which the trigger
signal is connected.
• Check that the proper trigger type is selected. Video type is only used to trigger
a Video signal. Proper trigger type is essential to acquire a stable display.
• Try to use the HF Reject or LF Reject to reduce the noise of the trigger signal.
If the amplitude is not identical with the actual voltage :
• Check that the attenuation factor of the probe is identical with the attenuation
factor set in the channel menu.
