4.2 Mesures bàsiques

1. Vertical Scale (Voltage): Use the vertical scale knob (labeled 'Scale' under 'Vertical') to adjust the volts per division.
2. Horizontal Scale (Time): Use the horizontal scale knob (labeled 'Scale' under 'Horizontal') to adjust the seconds per division.
3. Ajust de posició: Use the vertical and horizontal position knobs to shift the waveform on the screen.
4. Configuració automàtica: Press the 'Autoset' button for the oscilloscope to automatically adjust settings to display a stable waveform.
5. Mesures automàtiques: Press the 'Measure' button to access a menu of 43 automatic measurements. Select desired parameters like Vavg, Vpp, Frequency, Period, etc.

4.3 Activació

The trigger system stabilizes repetitive waveforms and captures single-shot events. Use the 'Trigger' section on the front panel to adjust trigger settings.

• Nivell d'activació: Adjust the trigger level knob to set the voltage point at which the trigger occurs.
• Mode de commutació: Select between Auto, Normal, and Single modes. Auto mode triggers even without a signal, Normal mode requires a trigger event, and Single mode captures one event and stops.
• Tipus d'activador: Access the trigger menu on the screen to select advanced trigger types such as Edge, Pulse Width, Video, etc.

5. Manteniment

5.1 Neteja

To maintain the performance and appearance of your oscilloscope, clean the exterior surfaces regularly. Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the casing or screen. Ensure the device is powered off and disconnected from the power source before cleaning.

5.2 Emmagatzematge

When not in use for extended periods, store the oscilloscope in a dry, dust-free environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the original packaging or a protective case to prevent damage.

5.3 Calibració

The oscilloscope is factory calibrated. For optimal accuracy, periodic calibration by qualified personnel is recommended. Refer to the official OWON support resources for calibration services.
