In order to protect you from suffering from the electric shock during your using the probe, do not touch the metal part of the probe tip when the probe is connected to the power supply. Before making any measurements, please connect the probe to the instrument and connect the ground terminal to the earth.

How to Implement Auto-calibration

The auto-calibration application can make the oscilloscope reach the optimum condition rapidly to obtain the most accurate measurement value. You can carry out this application program at any time, but when the range of variation of the ambient temperature is up to or over 41 °F (5 °C), this program must be executed. For the performing of the self-calibration, all probes or wires should be disconnected with the input connector first. Then, press the “8(UTILITY)” button to call out the FUNCTION menu; push down the F3 menu selection button to choose the option ” Do Self Cal”; finally, run the program after confirming that everything is ready now.

Introduction to the Vertical System

Shown in figure, there are a series of buttons and knobs in VERTICAL CONTROLS. The following practices will gradually direct you to be familiar with the using of the vertical setting.

1. Use the button “VERTICAL POSITION” knob to show the signal in the center of the waveform window. The “VERTICAL POSITION” knob functions the regulating of the vertical display position of the signal. Thus, when the “VERTICAL POSITION” knob is rotated, the pointer of the earth datum point of the channel is directed to move up and down following the wave form.
   Measuring Skill: If the channel is under the DC coupling mode, you can rapidly measure the DC component of the signal through the observation of the difference between the wave form and the signal ground. If the channel is under the AC mode, the DC component will be removed by filtration. This mode helps you display the AC component of the signal with a higher sensitivity.

2. Change the Vertical Setting and Observe the Consequent State Information Change. With the information displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the waveform window, you can determine any changes in the channel vertical scale factor.

• Rotate the vertical “VOLTS/DIV” knob and change the “Vertical Scale Factor (Voltage Division)”, it can be found that the scale factor of the channel corresponding to the status bar has been changed accordingly.
• Press buttons of “CH1 MENU”, “CH2 MENU” and “MATH MENU”, the operation menu, symbols, wave forms and scale factor status information of the corresponding channel will be displayed in the screen.

Introduction to the Horizontal System

Shown in figure, there are a button and two knobs in the “HORIZONTAL CONTROLS”. The following practices will gradually direct you to be familiar with the setting of horizontal time base.

1. Use the horizontal “SEC/DIV” knob to change the horizontal time base setting and observe the consequent status information change. Rotate the horizontal “SEC/DIV” knob to change the horizontal time base, and it can be found that the “Horizontal Time Base” display in the status bar changes accordingly. The horizontal scanning speed steps from 2 ns up to 100 s in the sequence of 1-2-5.
2. Use the “HORIZONTAL POSITION” knob to adjust the horizontal position of the signal in the waveform window. The “HORIZONTAL POSITION” knob is used to control the triggering displacement of the signal or for other special applications. If it is applied to triggering the displacement, it can be observed that the wave form moves horizontally with the knob when you rotate the “Horizontal Position” knob.
3. With the “HORIZONTAL MENU” button pushed down, you can set and initiate the Window Expansion.

Introduction to the Trigger System

How to Acquire Data

When you start to acquire LA begins sampling data from the probes. Then each time clock occurs the data will be sampled. Then sampled data is sent to trigger function block and store in main memory. The trigger program checks specific events with the sampled data and take specific action. The trigger program can check events as rising edge, data values, and data ranges etc. LA module enables a post trigger delay counter when trigger reach specified value and to allow post trigger portion of the acquisition memory to fill before data acquisition stops. Press “F” to get into data acquisition mode after finish setting for trigger and sampling. Then running status display as “RUN” and running status display “TRIG” when detected trigger signal and display “STOP” when data acquisition finished. Then you can start to analyze data. Data acquisition can be stopped by press “F” again during the process.

How to Observe and Analyze the Data

Follow below steps to observe and analyze the current data acquired:

1. Turn “Sec/Div” knob to adjust the time length for data display in each division (to adjust the data resolution displayed).
2. Turn “Cursor” knob to observe more details for the data of current cursor position. The data of binary value for current cursor position display in binary system area and power on measure menu then bus value for current cursor position will display in measurement window.
3. Turn “horizontal position” knob can move the current displayed data to left/right position in storage area quickly.

Display Systems

We need only three channels as what we measure is 3 signals. And other channel and bus can be off. In this way the display resolution in using channel will be increased. Display system mainly to set on/off for measure channel. We use CH00, CH01, and CH02 as measure channel correspond to signal enable, clock, data accordingly. Other channel and bus is off.

1. Press “A (DISPLAY)” and display menu appears.
2. Press “F1” till signal sources display as “Channel”.
3. Press “F2” or turn “CH1 Volts/Div” knob till channel No. display as “CH00”.
4. Press “F3” and set the signal sources as “ON”. Repeat operation of steps 3.4 and set CH01, CH02 as “ON” and CH03-CHOF as “OFF”. Refer to Figure.
5. Press “F1″ till sources display as” BUS”.
6. Press “F2″ till Bus No. display as”BUS0”.
7. Press “F3” and set signal sources as “OFF”. Repeat operation of steps 6.7 and set BUS1, BUS2, BUS3 all as “OFF”. Refer to figure.
   
   
   
8. Now the screen only shows CH00, CH01, CH02 and others channel and bus are all off.

Trigger System

LA is same as DSO and need to make trigger to synchronize data. The trigger system mainly to set trigger sources, trigger mode and trigger position. We make CH00 as trigger source and trigger mode as falling edge, trigger position in 50 %. Trigger system setting steps as below:

1. Press “Trig menu” and menu appears.
2. Press “F1” till trigger mode display as “Edge”.
3. Press “F2” or turn “CH1 Volts/Div” till trigger sources display as “CH00”.
4. Press “F3” till trigger type display as “Falling”.
5. Turn “Trigger adjust” knob or press “SET 50 %”till “NEXT T POS” window display as “50 %” Then trigger system setting finished.

Threshold Voltage System

Threshold voltage system is to set high/low of the trigger voltage. The system already fixed the setting for normal logic voltage as CMOS, LVMOS etc. And you can set any trigger voltage using custom setting. The signal voltage is 3.3 V and we set threshold voltage as “LVCMO 3.3 V/1.7 V” as below steps:

1. Press “1 (Threshold)” key and the menu appears.
2. Press “F1” key till Channel display as “CH00 ~ CH03”
3. Press “F2” key till threshold display as “LVCMOS 3.3 V/ 1.7 V”. Then the threshold setting is finished.
   

Sampling System

The waveform accuracy reverts from sample data depend on sample rate for measured signals. The waveform reverted in LA is referring to the sample signals storage in the memory. The recorded data will display in error if the sample rate is too low.

There is an importance compromise between recorded signal resolution and its continuance (relate to time). The sample memory depth of LA is fixed and once adding sample rate then resolution will get better accordingly. But it will decrease the continuance for acquire signal. In a word, if the sample rate is quicker, the continuance for recorded signal will get smaller but with better resolution. Sampling system can set difference sample rate and storage depth. We use 10 times sampling rate to measure the signal clock frequency of 1 M, and storage depth set as “Normal”.

Sampling system setting steps as below:

1. Press “E (ACQUIRE)” and menu appears.
2. Press “F1” or turn “CH1 Volts/div” knob till sample rate setting display as”10M”.
3. Press “F2” till storage depth display as “General”. Sampling system setting finished (ref to the fig.) Then press “F” and start to sampling data.

How to Set Trigger System

When the oscilloscope begins to collect the data and display the wave form depends on a trigger. Once it is set correctly, the trigger can transfer the unstable display into a meaningful wave form. When beginning to collect data, the oscilloscope will collect adequate data to draw the wave form at the left side of the trigger point at first. It will continuously perform the data acquisition while waiting for the trigger condition. After a trigger is detected, the oscilloscope will continuously collect data enough to draw the wave form at the right side of the trigger point. One knob and four function menu buttons are included in the trigger control zone.

TRIG LEVEL: Trigger the level control knob and set the signal voltage corresponding to the trigger point.

SET TO 50 %: Set the trigger level as the vertical midpoint value of the amplitude of the trigger signal.

FORCE TRIG: It is a force trigger button for the generation of a trigger signal, which is mainly used in the “Normal” and “Single” triggering modes.

SET TO ZERO: Trigger the resetting of the horizontal position.

TRIG MENU: It is a trigger menu button. When it is pressed, an operation menu will be presented in the screen.

Trigger Control

The oscilloscope provides two trigger types: single trigger and alternate trigger. Press F1 to choose.

Single trigger: Use a trigger level to capture stable waveforms in two channels simultaneously
Alternate trigger: Trigger on non-synchronized signals.
The Single Trigger and Alternate Trigger menus are described respectively as follows:

Single trigger

Single trigger has four modes: edge trigger, video trigger, pulse trigger and slope trigger.
Edge Trigger: It happens when the trigger input passes through a given level along the set direction.
Video Trigger: Carry out field or line video trigger on the standard video signal.
Pulse Trigger: Use this trigger type to catch pulses with certain pulse width..
Slope Trigger: The oscilloscope begins to trigger according to the signal rising or falling speed.

Alternate trigger

Trigger signal comes from two vertical channels when alternate trigger is on. This mode is used to observe two unrelated signals. You can choose different trigger modes for different channels. The options are as follows: edge, video, pulse or slope.

How to Operate the Function Menu

Troubleshooting

In  case  the oscilloscope is still in the black-screen state without any display after the power is switch on, implement the following fault treatment procedure.

• Check whether the power connection is connected properly.
• Check whether the power switch is pushed down to the designated position.
• Restart the instrument after completing the checks above.
• If this product still cannot work normally, please get in touch with Lilliput and we will be under your service.

After acquiring the signal, carry out the following operations if the wave form of the signal is not displayed in the screen.

• Check whether the probe is properly connected to the signal connecting wire.
• Check whether the signal connecting wire is correctly connected to the BNC (namely, the channel connector).
• Check whether the probe is properly connected with the object to be measured.
• Check whether there is any signal generated from the object to be measured (the trouble can be shot by the connection of the channel from which there is a signal generated with the channel in fault).
• Make the signal acquisition operation again.

The measured voltage amplitude value is 10 times greater or smaller than the actual value.

• Check whether the channel attenuation coefficient and the attenuation ration of the probe used in practical application is match.

There is wave form displayed, but it is not stable.

• 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.

No Display Responses to the Push-down of RUN/STOP.

• 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 above settings can be completed automatically.

After the AVERAGE value sampling is set in the ACQU MODE or the longer duration is set in the DISP MODE, the display rate is slowed down.It is a normal phenomenon.
