About this Chapter
This chapter provides a step-by-step introduction to the recorder functions of SHS800
series Handheld Digital Oscilloscope. The introduction gives basic examples to show
how to use the menus and perform basic operations.
The recorder mainly includes the following functions:
Trend Plot: Trend plot is to save the measurements in the memory and then plot a
graph of Scope or Meter measurements as a function of time.
Waveform Recorder: Record real time waveform without gap or space. That is to say
every time the SHS800 can save all captured waveform data and then replay them.
The maximal recording length of waveform recorder is 7M data points.

Troubleshooting
1. After the SHS800 is powered on，if the screen remains dark ，please do as
following steps：
1) Check the power cable’s connection.
2) Ensure the power switch is turned on.
3) After the inspections above，restart the Handheld Digital Oscilloscope.
4) If the Handheld Digital Oscilloscope is still not used after the checking, please
connect with MY company
2. If there is no signal wave in the screen after gathering the signal, please do
as following steps:
1) Check the probe connecting with the signal cable or not
2) Check the signal cable connecting with the BNC connector or not.
3) Check the probe whether connect with the goods tested or not.
4) Check the tested goods produce the signal or not.
5) Gather the signal again.
3. The value of the tested voltage is 10 times higher/lower than the real one ,
please do as following steps:
Check the attenuation quotient whether match the probe attenuation proportion or
not.
4. Display the wave, but not steady , please do as following steps:
1) Check the signal source on the trigger interface whether or not matches the
signal channel.
2) Check the trigger mode: normal signal should use the “edge” trigger mode.
The video signal should use the “Video” Trigger mode. The signal would
display steady, only using the matching trigger mode.
3) Attempt to change the “ coupling” into “HF Reject” or “LF Reject” display, so
that the High/low frequency noise disturb the trigger should be filtrated
5. Press “RUN/STOP” button, but no display.
Check the trigger mode on the trigger interface whether or not in the “normal” or
“single”, and check the trigger level is whether or not over the wave range. If yes,
please put the trigger level to the middle position or set the trigger mode to the
“Auto” position. In another hand, you could choose the “Auto” button to set up
automatically.
SHS800 Series 63
6. The signal is displayed as ladder like waveform
1) This phenomenon is normal. The time base maybe is too slow .you should
turn the horizontal SCALE knob to increase horizontal resolution to improve
the display.
2) Maybe the display Type is set to “Vectors”, You could set it to Dots mode to
improve the display.
7. The multimeter measurements aren’t correct
1) Check that if the range of the SHS800 matches with the measured item.
2) Make sure that if the multimeter is beyond the calibration date. if the
measurements and the real values are beyond the relevant precision, please
contact with the calibration site warranted by SIGLENT company to calibrate
the SHS800 .
3) If you can’t use the SHS800 normally all the same, please contact with
SIGLENT servicing center, we will provide service for you.
8. The other kind of trouble, please contact with SIGLENT servicing center. For
more details please see service and support.
