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.

Maintain Adequate Ventilation Inadequate ventilation may cause an increase in
temperature, which may eventually damage the instrument. Maintain suitable
ventilation and inspect the fan and intake regularly. Avoid Exposed Circuits
and Components Do not touch exposed contacts or components when the
instrument’s power is on. Use Only the Specified Fuse Do Not Operate Without
Covers Do not operate the instrument with covers or panels removed.

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. Make sure that the instrument is
completely dry before restarting it to avoid potential short circuits or
personal injury.

General Inspection
1. Inspect the shipping container Keep the damaged shipping container or
cushioning material until the contents of the shipment have been completely
checked and the instrument has passed both electrical and mechanical tests.
The consigner or carrier will be responsible for damages to the instrument
resulting from shipment. SIGLENT would not provide free maintenance or
replacement if the instrument has been damaged in shipment.
2. Inspect the instrument If there are instruments found damaged, defective
or failure in electrical and mechanical tests, please contact SIGLENT.
3. Check the accessories Please check the accessories according to the
packing list. If the accessories are incomplete or damaged, please contact
your SIGLENT sales representative.

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.
