  2. Cunnessione di putenza: Connect the provided power cord to the oscilloscope's power input on the rear panel and then to a suitable AC power outlet.
  3. Power On: Press the mechanical power button on the front panel to turn on the instrument.
  4. Cunnessione di a sonda: Connect the oscilloscope probes to the CH1 and CH2 input connectors on the front panel. Ensure a secure connection.
  5. Compensazione di a Sonda: Perform probe compensation as described in the detailed user manual to ensure accurate measurements.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Visualizzazione di forma d'onda di base

After powering on, connect a signal to one of the input channels. Use the vertical scale (Volts/Div) and horizontal scale (Time/Div) knobs to adjust the waveform display. The position knobs allow you to move the waveform vertically and horizontally.

5.2 Triggering

The trigger system stabilizes repetitive waveforms and captures single-shot events. Use the Trigger Level knob to set the trigger point. Various trigger modes (Edge, Pulse, Video, Slope, etc.) are available via the 'Trigger' menu.

5.3 Serial Bus Decoding

The DS1202Z-E supports decoding of common serial protocols. Access the 'Decode' menu to select the protocol (RS232/UART, I2C, SPI) and configure parameters. The decoded data will be displayed on the screen, simplifying debugging of serial communications.
