Chapter 4 Main Feature Description
This chapter provides some general information that you need to learn before using an
oscilloscope. It contains:
1. Oscilloscope setup
2. Trigger
3. Data acquisition
4. Waveform scaling and positioning
5. Waveform measurement
4.1 Oscilloscope Setup
While operating the oscilloscope, you may often use thr feature: Autoset.
Autoset: This function can be used to adjust the horizontal and vertical scales of the oscilloscope
automatically and set the trigger coupling, type, position, slope, level and mode, etc., to acquire a
stable waveform display.
4.2 Trigger
The trigger determines when the oscilloscope begins to acquire data and display a waveform.
Once a trigger is properly set up, the oscilloscope can convert unstable displays or blank screens
to meaningful waveforms. Here introduce some basic concepts about trigger.
Trigger Source: The trigger can be generated with multiple sources. The most common one is the
input channel (alternative between CH1 and CH2). Whether the input signal is displayed or not, it
can trigger normal operations.
Trigger Type: The oscilloscope has six types of triggers: Edge, Video, Pulse Width, Slope,
Overtime and Alter.
➢ Edge Trigger uses the analog or digital test circuits for triggering. It happens when the
input trigger source crosses a specified level in a specified direction.
➢ Video Trigger performs a field or line trigger through standard video signals.
➢ Pulse Width Trigger can trigger normal or abnormal pulses that meet trigger conditions.
➢ Slope Trigger uses the rise and fall times on the edge of signal for triggering.
➢ Overtime Trigger happens after the edge of signal reaches the set time.
➢ Alter Trigger, as a feature of analog oscilloscopes, gives stable displays of signals at
Main Feature Description
DSO1000B(V )Series HandHeld Oscilloscope User Manual 9
two different frequencies. Mainly it uses a specific frequency to switch between two
analog channels CH1 and CH2 so that the channels will generate alter trigger signals
through the trigger circuitry.
Trigger Mode: You can select the Auto or Normal mode to define how the oscilloscope acquires
data when it does not detect a trigger condition. Auto Mode performs the acquisition freely in
absence of valid trigger. It allows the generation of untriggered waveforms with the time base set
to 80ms/div or slower. Normal Mode updates the displayed waveforms only when the
oscilloscope detects a valid trigger condition. Before this update, the oscilloscope still displays the
old waveforms. This mode shall be used when you want to only view the effectively triggered
waveforms. In this mode, the oscilloscope displays waveforms only after the first trigger. To
perform a single sequence acquisition, push the SINGLE SEQ button.
Trigger Coupling: Trigger Coupling determines which part of the signal will be delivered to the
trigger circuit. This can help to obtain a stable display of the waveform. To use trigger coupling,
push the TRIG MENU button, select an Edge or Pulse trigger, and then select a Coupling option.
Trigger Position: The horizontal position control establishes the time between the trigger position
and the screen center.
Slope and Level: The Slope and Level controls help to define the trigger. The Slope option
determines whether the trigger point is on the rising or falling edge of a signal. To perform the
trigger slope control, press the TRIG MENU button, select an Edge trigger, and use the Slope
button to select rising or falling. The LEVEL button controls the trigger point is on which position of
the edge.
4.3 Data Acquisition
When you acquire an analog signal, the oscilloscope will convert it into a digital one. There are
two kinds of acquisition: Real-time acquisition and Equivalent acquisition. The real-time acquisition
has three modes: Normal, Peak Detect, and Average. The acquisition rate is affected by the
setting of time base.
Normal: In this acquisition mode, the oscilloscope samples the signal in evenly spaced intervals to
establish the waveform. This mode accurately represents signals in most time. However, it does
not acquire rapid variations in the analog signal that may occur between two samples, which can
result in aliasing and may cause narrow pulses to be missed. In such cases, you should use the
Peak Detect mode to acquire data.
Peak Detect: In this acquisition mode, the oscilloscope gets the maximum and minimum values of
Trigger slope can be rising or falling

Falling Edge
Trigger level can be
adjusted vertically
Main Feature Description
DSO1000B(V )Series HandHeld Oscilloscope User Manual 10
the input signal over each sample interval and uses these values to display the waveform. In this
way, the oscilloscope can acquire and display those narrow pulses that may have otherwise been
missed in Normal mode. However, noise will appear to be higher in this mode.
Average: In this acquisition mode, the oscilloscope acquires several waveforms, averages them,
and displays the resulting waveform. You can use this mode to reduce random noise.
Equivalent Acquisition: This kind of acquisition can be utilized for periodic signals. In case the
acquisition rate is too low when using the real-time acquisition, the oscilloscope will use a fixed
rate to acquire data with a stationary tiny delay after each acquisition of a frame of data. After
repeating this acquisition for N times, the oscilloscope will arrange the acquired N frames of data
by time to make up a new frame of data. Then the waveform can be recovered. The number of
times N is related to the equivalent acquisition rate.
Time Base: The oscilloscope digitizes waveforms by acquiring the value of an input signal at
discrete points. The time base helps to control how often the values are digitized. Use the
TIME/DIV button to adjust the time base to a horizontal scale that suits your purpose.
4.4 Waveform Scaling and Positioning
The display of waveforms on the screen can be changed by adjusting their scale and position.
Once the scale changes, the waveform display will increase or decrease in size. Once the position
changes, the waveform will move up, down, right, or left.
The channel reference indicator (located on the left of the graticule) identifies each waveform on
the screen. It points to the ground level of the waveform record.
Vertical Scale and Position: The vertical position of a waveform can be changed by moving it up
and down on the screen. To compare data, you may align a waveform over another. When you
push the VOLTS button to change the vertical scale of a waveform, the waveform display will
contract or expand vertically to the ground level.
Horizontal Scale and Position: Pretrigger Information
You can adjust the HORIZONTAL POSITION control to view waveform data before the trigger,
after the trigger, or some of each. When you change the horizontal position of a waveform, you are
actually changing the time between the trigger position and the screen center.
For example, if you want to find out the cause of a glitch in your test circuit, you should trigger on
the glitch and make the pretrigger period long enough to capture data before the glitch. Then you
can analyze the pretrigger data and perhaps find the cause. You are allowed to change the
horizontal scale of all the waveforms by clicking the TIME/DIV button. For example, you may want
to see just one cycle of a waveform to measure the overshoot on its rising edge. The oscilloscope
shows the horizontal scale as time per division in the scale readout. Since all active waveforms
use the same time base, the oscilloscope only displays one value for all the active channels.
Main Feature Description
DSO1000B(V )Series HandHeld Oscilloscope User Manual 11
4.5 Waveform Measurement
The oscilloscope displays graphs of voltage versus time and can help to measure the displayed
waveform. There are several ways to take measurements, using the graticule, the cursors or
performing an automatic measurement.
Graticule: This method allows you to make a quick, visual estimate and take a simple
measurement through the graticule divisions and the scale factor.
For example, you can take simple measurements by counting the major and minor graticule
divisions involved and multiplying by the scale factor. If you counted 6 major vertical graticule
divisions between the minimum and maximum values of a waveform and knew you had a scale
factor of 50mV/division, you could easily calculate your peak-to-peak voltage as follows:
6 divisions x 50mV/division = 300mV.
Cursor: This method allows you to take measurements by moving the cursors. Cursors always
appear in pairs and the displayed readouts are just their measured values. There are two kinds of
cursors: Amplitude Cursor and Time Cursor. The amplitude cursor appear as a horizontal broken
line, measuring the vertical parameters. The time cursor appear as a vertical broken line,
measuring the horizontal parameters.
When using cursors, please make sure to set the Source to the waveform that you want to
measure on the screen. To use cursors, push the CURSOR button.
Automatic Measurement: The oscilloscope performs all the calculations automatically in this
mode. As this measurement uses the waveform record points, it is more precise than the graticule
and cursor measurements. Automatic measurements show the measurement results by readouts
which are periodically updated with the new data acquired by the oscilloscope.

5.3.1 Math FFT
This chapter elaborates how to use the Math FFT (Fast Fourier Transform). You can use the Math
FFT mode to convert a time-domain (YT) signal into its frequency components (spectrum), and to
observe the following types of signals:
➢ Analyze harmonics in power cords;
➢ Measure harmonic content and distortion in systems;
➢ Characterize noise in DC power supplies;
➢ Test impulse response of filters and systems;
➢ Analyze vibration.
To use the Math FFT mode, perform the following tasks:
➢ Set the source (time-domain) waveform;
➢ Display the FFT spectrum;
➢ Choose a type of FFT window;
➢ Adjust the sample rate to display the fundamental frequency and harmonics without aliasing;
➢ Use zoom controls to magnify the spectrum;
➢ Use cursors to measure the spectrum.
5.3.1.1 Setting Time-domain Waveform
It is necessary to set the time-domain (YT) waveform before using the FFT mode. Follow the steps
below.
1. Push the AUTO button to display a YT waveform.
2. Click the Vertical Position key to vertically move the YT waveform to the center (zero division)
so as to ensure the FFT will display a true DC value.
3. Click the Horizontal Position key to position the part of the YT waveform to be analyzed in the
center eight divisions of the screen. The oscilloscope uses the 2048 center points of the
time-domain waveform to calculate the FFT spectrum.
4. Click the VOLTS Key to ensure the entire waveform remains on the screen. If the entire
waveform is invisible, the oscilloscope may display wrong FFT results by adding
high-frequency components.
5. Click the TIME/DIV key to provide the resolution you need in the FFT spectrum.
6. If possible, set the oscilloscope to display multiple signal cycles.
If you Click the TIME/DIV key to select a faster setting (fewer cycles), the FFT spectrum will
display a larger frequency range and reduce the possibility of FFT aliasing.
To set the FFT display, follow the steps below.
1. Push the M/R button;
Basic Operation
DSO1000B(V) Series HandHeld Oscilloscope User Manual 21
2. Set the Operation option to FFT;
3. Select the Math FFT Source channel.
In many situations, the oscilloscope can also generate a useful FFT spectrum despite the YT
waveform not being triggered. This is especially true if the signal is periodic or random (such as
noise).
Note: You should trigger and position transient or burst waveforms as close as possible to
the screen center.
Nyquist Frequency
The highest frequency that any real-time digital oscilloscope can measure without errors is half of
the sample rate, which is called the Nyquist frequency. Frequency information beyond the Nyquist
frequency is undersampled which brings about the FFT aliasing. The math function can convert
the center 2048 points of the time-domain waveform to an FFT spectrum. The resulting FFT
spectrum contains 1024 points from DC (0Hz) to the Nyquist frequency. Usually, the screen
compresses the FFT spectrum horizontally to 250 points, but you can use the FFT Zoom function
to expand the FFT spectrum so that you can clearly view the frequency components at each of the
1024 data points in the FFT spectrum.
Note: The oscilloscope’s vertical response is a little bit larger than its bandwidth (60MHz,
100MHz or 200MHz, depending on the model; or 20MHz when the Bandwidth Limit option is
set to Limited). Therefore, the FFT spectrum can display valid frequency information above
the oscilloscope bandwidth. However, the amplitude information near or above the
bandwidth will not be accurate.
5.3.1.2 Displaying FFT Spectrum
Push the MATH MENU button to display the Math menu. Use the options to select the Source
channel, the Window algorithm and the FFT Zoom factor. Only one FFT spectrum can be

5.3.1.3 Selecting FFT Window
Using windows can eliminate the spectral leakage in the FFT spectrum. The FFT algorithm
assumes that the YT waveform repeats all the time. When the number of cycles is integral (1, 2,
3 ...), the YT waveform starts and ends at the same amplitude and there are no discontinuities in
the signal shape.
If the number of cycles is nonintegral, the YT waveform starts and ends at different amplitudes and
transitions between the start and end points will cause discontinuities in the signal that introduces
high-frequency transients.

Basic Operation
DSO1000B(V) Series HandHeld Oscilloscope User Manual 23
Applying a window to the YT waveform changes the waveform so that the start and stop values
are close to each other, which reduces the discontinuities.
The Math FFT function has three FFT Window options. There is a trade-off between frequency
resolution and amplitude accuracy for each type of window. You shall determine which one to
choose according to the object you want to measure and the source signal characteristics.

Find higher order harmonics.
5.3.1.4 FFT Aliasing
Problems occur when the time-domain waveform acquired by the oscilloscope contains frequency
components higher than the Nyquist frequency. The frequency components above the Nyquist
frequency will be undersampled and displayed as lower frequency components that ‘fold back’
from the Nyquist frequency. These erroneous components are called aliases.
5.3.1.5 Eliminating Aliases
To eliminate aliases, use the following methods.
➢ Click the TIME/DIV key to set a faster sample rate. Because the Nyquist frequency increases
as you increase the sample rate, the aliased frequency components will be displayed correct.
If too many frequency components appear on the screen, you may use the FFT Zoom option
to magnify the FFT spectrum.
➢ If there is no need to observe the frequency components above 20MHz, set the Bandwidth
Limit option to Limited.
➢ Filter the signal input from outside and limit the bandwidth of the source waveform to lower
than the Nyquist frequency.
➢ Identify and ignore the aliased frequencies.
➢ Use zoom controls and cursors to magnify and measure the FFT spectrum.
5.3.1.6 Magnifying and Positioning FFT Spectrum
You may scale the FFT spectrum and use cursors to measure it through the FFT Zoom option
which enables the horizontal magnification. To vertically magnify the spectrum, use the vertical
controls.
Horizontal Zoom and Position
You can use the FFT Zoom option to magnify the FFT spectrum horizontally without changing the
sample rate. The available zoom factors are X1(default), X2, X5 and X10. When the zoom factor is
set to X1 and the waveform is located at the center graticule, the left graticule line is at 0Hz and
the right is at the Nyquist frequency.
You magnifies the FFT spectrum to the center graticule line when you change the zoom factor.
That is, the axis for horizontal magnification is the center graticule line. Click the Horizontal
Position Key to move the FFT spectrum to the right.
Vertical Zoom and Position
Basic Operation
DSO1000B(V) Series HandHeld Oscilloscope User Manual 25
When the FFT spectrum is being displayed, the channel vertical keys become the zoom and
position controls corresponding to their respective channels. The VOLTS key provides the
following zoom factors: X1(default), X2, X5 and X10. The FFT spectrum is magnified vertically to
the marker M (math waveform reference point on the left edge of the screen). Click the Vertical
Position key to move up the spectrum.
5.3.1.7 Using Cursors to Measure FFT Spectrum
You may use cursors to take two measurements on the FFT spectrum: amplitude (in dB) and
frequency (in Hz). Amplitude is referenced to 0db that equals 1VRMS here. You may use cursors
to measure at any zoom factor.
Push the CURSOR button, choose the Source option and then select Math. Press the Type option
button to select between Amplitude and Frequency. Click the SELECT CURSOR option to choose
a cursor. Then move Cursor S and Cursor E. Use the horizontal cursor to measure the amplitude
and the vertical cursor to measure the frequency. Now the display at the DELTA menu is just the
measured value, and the values at Cursor S and Cursor E.
Delta is the absolute value of Cursor S minus Cursor E.
5.4 Trigger Controls

interpolate points between sampled points to produce a complete waveform record (4K by
default).
Peak Detect: Use this mode to detect glitches within 10ns and to limit the possibility of aliasing.
This mode is valid at the TIME/DIV setting of 4µs/div or slower. Once you set the TIME/DIV setting
to 4µs/div or faster, the acquisition mode will change to Normal because the sample rate is fast
enough that Peak Detect is unnecessary. The oscilloscope does not display a message to tell you
that the mode has been changed to Normal.
Average: Use this mode to reduce random or uncorrelated noise in the signal to be displayed.
Acquire data in Normal mode and then average a great number of waveforms. Choose the
number of acquisitions (4, 16, 64 or 128) to average for the waveform.
Stopping the Acquisition: When you are running the acquisition, the waveform display is live.
Stop the acquisition (press the RUN/STOP button) to freeze the display. In either mode, the
waveform display can be scaled or positioned by vertical and horizontal controls.
Equivalent Acquisition: Just repeat the Normal acquisition. Use this mode to take a specific
observation on repeatedly displayed periodic signals. You can get a resolution of 40ps, i.e.
25GSa/s sample rate, which is much higher than that obtained in real-time acquisition.
The acquisition principle is as follows.

represent what shown in the figure below, you can get the value of the phase difference angle by
the formula: θ=±arcsin(A/B) or ±arcsin(C/D).
If the principal axes of the ellipse are in the first and third quadrants, the phase difference angle
should be in the first and fourth quadrants, i.e. within (0~π/2) or (3π/2~2π). If the principal axes of
the ellipse are in the second and fourth quadrants, the phase difference angle should be in the
second and third quadrants, i.e. within (π/2~π) or (π-3π/2). See the figure below for better
understanding.
6.6 Example 6: Triggering on Pulse Width
Triggering on a Specific Pulse Width
While testing the pulse width of a signal in a circuit, you may need to verify the pulse width is
consistent with the theoretic value. Or even if the edge triggering shows that your signal has the
same pulse width with the specific signal, you still doubt about the result. Then you can follow the
steps below.

Note: The difference between the overtime and the delay triggers is that the overtime
trigger can identify the pulse you need according to your set time and trigger on any point
of the pulse. In the other word, the overtime trigger occurs based on pulse identification. It
is similar to the > mode of the pulse width trigger, but not the same.
6.10 Example 10: Using Math Functions to Analyze
Waveforms
Using math functions to analyze input waveforms is another advantage of the digital oscilloscope.
For example, you want to get the instantaneous difference between two channel waveforms. By
using the math function of the oscilloscope, you can get a better representation of the waveform
on the screen. To observe this signal, follow the steps below.
1. Set the Probe option attenuation to 10X.
2. Open CH1 and CH2 at the same time, both with the attenuation of 10X.
3. Push the AUTO button to trigger a stable waveform.
4. Push the M/R MENU button to see the Math menu.
5. Push the Operation option button and select ‘CH1+CH2’.

Chapter 8 Troubleshooting
8.1 Problem Settlement
1. If the oscilloscope does not start up at power on, follow these steps:
1） Check the power cord to verify it has been connected properly;
2） Check the power on/off button to ensure it has been pushed;
3） Then restart the oscilloscope.
Contact your local distributor or directly keep touch with our Support department if the oscilloscope
still can not be turned on normally.
2. If there is no display of waveforms on the screen when the oscilloscope is turned on,
follow these steps:
1） Check the probe to assure its proper connection to the input BNC;
2） Check the channel switch (such as CH1, CH2 menu buttons) to make sure it has been turned
on;
3） Check the input signal to verify it has been connected to the probe correctly;
4） Affirm that all measured circuits have signals to output;
5） Turn up the magnitude for DC signals with large magnitude;
6） In addition, you may press the Auto Measure button to perform an automatic detection of
signals at first.
Contact our Technical Support department in time if there is still no display of waveforms.
3. If the waveform of the input signal is distorted seriously, follow these steps:
1） Check the probe to assure its proper connection to the channel BNC;
2） Check the probe to assure its good connection to the measured object;
3） Check the probe to verify it has been well calibrated. Otherwise, refer to the content about
calibration described in this manual.
4. If the waveform is rolling continuously on the screen but can not be triggered, follow
these steps:
1） Check the trigger source to make sure it consistent with the input channel;
2） Check the trigger level to assure its correct adjustment.
3） Check the trigger mode to confirm it is a right choice for the input signal. The default trigger
mode is edge trigger. However, it is not suitable for all kinds of input signals.
