General Safety Summary
Carefully read the following safety precautions to avoid any personal injury or damage to the instrument and any products connected to it. To avoid potential hazards, please use the instrument as specified.

Use Proper Power Cord
Only the power cord designed for the instrument and authorized by local government regulations should be used.
Ground the Instrument
The instrument is grounded through the protective earth conductor of the power cord. To avoid electric shock, please make certain the instrument is grounded correctly before connecting its input or output terminals.
Connect the Signal Cable Correctly
The potential of the signal cable ground is equal to the earth ground. Do not connect the signal wire to a high voltage.
Look Over All Terminals’ Ratings
To avoid fire or electric shock, please look over all ratings and sign instructions of the instrument. Before connecting the instrument, please read the manual carefully to gain more information about the ratings.
Use Proper Overvoltage Protection
Make sure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a thunderstorm) can reach the product, or else the operator might be exposed to the danger of electrical shock.
Electrostatic Prevention
Operate in an electrostatic-protected area environment to avoid damages induced by static discharge. Always ground both the internal and external conductors of the cable to release a static charge before connecting.

General Care and Cleaning
Care Do not store or leave the instrument in direct sunshine for extended periods of time. To avoid damages to the instrument or probes, please do not expose them to fog, liquid, or solvents.
Cleaning Please perform the following steps to clean the instrument and probes regularly in accordance with its operating conditions. 1. Disconnect the instrument from all power sources and then clean with a soft
wet cloth. 2. Clean the loose dust on the outside of the instrument and probe with a soft
cloth. When cleaning the LCD, take care to avoid scratching it. To avoid damage to the surface of the instrument and probe, please do not use any corrosive liquid or chemical cleansers.

Probe Compensation
All oscilloscope probes should be properly compensated before their first use with the oscilloscope. A non-compensated or inadequately compensated probe may cause inaccurate measurement. The following steps illustrate the proper probe compensation procedure.
1. Use the probe to connect the CH1 Input Terminal and the Compensation Signal Output Terminal on the front panel. Connect the ground alligator clip of the probe to the “Ground Terminal” under the compensation signal output terminal.
2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with the following figure.

Under Compensated

Compensated Correctly

Over Compensated

3. Use a nonmetallic flat-head screwdriver to adjust the low-frequency compensation adjustment hole on the probe until the waveform matches the “Compensated Correctly” waveform above.

To Set Parameters
Several different ways are provided to set parameters:
Switch ­ sets parameters with two states, such as to enable or disable a function. Touch the switch region to change from one state to the other.
List ­ sets parameters with more than two options, such as the coupling mode of channels. Touch the parameter region, and then select the expected option from the pop-up list.
Virtual Keypad ­ Sets parameters with a numerical value. Touch the parameter region, and the parameter can be adjusted by the universal knob on the front panel; touch the region again, then the virtual keypad appears;
To use the operation of setting “deskew” of the channel as an example: If the expected value is 65 ns, input “65” on the virtual keypad, and then choose the unit n to complete the operation. On the virtual keypad, touching the button Max , Min , and Default quickly sets the parameter to its maximum, minimum and default values.

Calibration
Self Calibration
The oscilloscope is calibrated at the factory prior to being shipped. The calibration is run at 23 °C (± 2 °C) and is valid for temperatures 23 ± 5 °C. Within this temperature range, the oscilloscope will meet all specifications once warmed up.
Touch Utility Menu Maintenance Self Calibration
Warm up the oscilloscope for at least 20 minutes prior to each use or calibration in order for it to reach a stable operating temperature. Specifications are not guaranteed during the warm-up period.
Whenever the oscilloscope is used in an environment outside 23 ± 5 °C, or when it has been more than one month since the previous calibration, a self- calibration is recommended.

Quick Cal
When Quick Cal is enabled, the oscilloscope will initiate an ADC calibration procedure when the ADC temperature changes by over 3 °C to avoid performance drift. This procedure is quick enough not to affect the user experience but will interrupt the acquisition procedure. It is recommended to disable it when capturing long-duration waveforms or monitoring rare events without interruption. The default status of Quick Cal is disabled.

30

SDS2000X HD Quick Start

Changing vertical scale or channel interleaving mode will initiate the same ADC calibration procedure in the background. This is always enabled, regardless of the status of Quick Cal. Touch Utility Menu Maintenance Quick Cal to set Quick Cal.
Software Option
Installing a Software Option Follow the steps below to install a software option ( see the data sheet for details ) after purchasing it and obtaining the Option Key: 1. Utility Menu Software Options 2. Select the correct Option Type 3. Input the option key in the text box 4. Touch Install and then restart the oscilloscope
