5.2 Nchọpụta nyocha

Before taking measurements, it is crucial to calibrate the oscilloscope probes for accurate readings. This process compensates for any slight variations in the probes as supplied.

  1. Connect a probe to one of the BNC input connectors (e.g., CH1).
  2. Ensure the probe's attenuation switch (usually on the probe body) is set to 10x.
  3. Connect the probe tip to the test point, which is a small metal loop located on the bottom right of the oscilloscope's front panel.
  4. Attach the black grounding alligator clip of the probe to the lower metal loop, which serves as the ground test point.
  5. Pịa Autoset button on the oscilloscope. The device will automatically adjust settings to display the test signal. The test point outputs a 1 kHz, 5V square wave.
  6. Observe the waveform on the screen. If it does not appear as a perfect square wave (e.g., rounded corners or overshoot), use the supplied probe adjustment tool (small screwdriver).
  7. Carefully insert the screwdriver into the compensation screw on the BNC connector of the probe and adjust it until the displayed square wave is clean and flat on top and bottom, with sharp corners. A slight turn (approximately 1/8th) may be sufficient.
  8. Repeat this process for all probes you intend to use.

  • Nchekwa: When not in use, store the oscilloscope in a clean, dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and humidity.
  • Nlekọta nyocha: Handle probes carefully. Avoid bending or stressing the cables. Keep probe tips clean.
  • Nlekọta nke ime: The device does not require user-performed internal maintenance. Do not attempt to open the casing, as this may void the warranty and expose you to electrical hazards.

8. Nchọpụta nsogbu

If you encounter issues with your OWON SDS1102, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

Nsogbu Ihe nwere ike ime Ngwọta
Ngwaọrụ anaghị agbanwu ọkụ. Power cord not connected; power outlet faulty; device fault. Check power cord connection. Test power outlet with another device. If problem persists, contact support.
No waveform displayed. Probe not connected; probe faulty; input signal too small/large; incorrect vertical/horizontal settings. Ensure probes are securely connected. Check probe functionality. Adjust VOLTS/DIV and SEC/DIV. Use Autoset.
Waveform is distorted or noisy. Uncalibrated probe; poor grounding; external interference. Perform probe calibration (Section 5.2). Ensure proper grounding. Minimize external electromagnetic interference.
USB storage not recognized. USB device format incompatible; faulty USB device/port. Ensure USB device is formatted correctly (e.g., FAT32). Try a different USB device or port.

For issues not covered here, please refer to the full manual on the provided CD-ROM or contact OWON customer support.
