5. Solució De Problemes
5.1 Problemes comuns i solucions
- Long Startup Time: The device typically takes around 30 seconds to boot. This is normal operation.
- Soroll del ventilador: The internal fan operates to maintain optimal temperature. Some fan noise is normal. Ensure proper ventilation around the device.
- Waveform Offset/Bias: If a channel displays an unexpected offset, perform a self-calibration. Navigate to the system settings and initiate the self-calibration procedure. Ensure probes are correctly grounded.
- Pantalla sense senyal: Verify that probes are securely connected to both the oscilloscope and the signal source. Check probe compensation and input settings for the active channel. Ensure the signal source is active.
- El dispositiu no respon: If the device becomes unresponsive, perform a hard reset by holding the power button until it shuts down, then restart. If the issue persists, contact technical support.
