Where to find operational information
For information on instrument installation, operation, and networking, refer to the Help or Owner’s Manual that came with your oscilloscope.

Theory of operation
This chapter describes the electrical operation of the oscilloscope at the module level. The block diagram shows the interconnection of the oscilloscope module.

Power supply
The power board converts the AC line voltage to the secondary power required by all internal circuits.

Interface board
The interface board is mainly used for interface expansion on the rear panel, and the included interfaces include USB port, Ethernet port (LAN), VGA display port, external trigger BNC connector, AUX OUT BNC connector, signal source output channel 1 BNC connector, signal Source output channel 2 BNC connector

Motherboard
The motherboard contains the following features:

Theory of operation

• Acquisition System An acquisition system begins with an analog signal path and ends with a digitized signal in memory. Signals enter the channel inputs, then pass through attenuators and preamps. The analog signal from each preamp passes through the digitizer and then into the acquisition memory. The analog signal from each preamp is also distributed to the trigger circuit.
• Analog front end All analog and digital inputs are routed to the analog front-end circuitry. The analog channel is amplified and attenuated by the front-end circuit, and output to the acquisition ASIC. The digital channels only need to go through the front-end circuit to the acquisition ASIC.
• processor Process the data from the analog front end, the data of the keyboard board, and send the data collected by the analog front end to the display screen according to the instructions input by the keyboard board.
• power converter Power is converted to all voltages used for analog and digital circuits throughout the system. Standby power is used to keep parts of the system powered at all times when AC power is connected to the instrument

Keyboard deck and display
The keyboard board contains the digital logic that reads the buttons and controls of the keyboard board and sends this information to the processor on the motherboard. The front panel also generates the probe compensation output signal, provides a USB port and digital logic signal input interface on the front panel, and houses the main power switch.

Maintainance

This section contains information needed to perform periodic and corrective maintenance on the instrument

Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge
Before servicing this product, read the General Safety Summary and Service Safety Summary at the front of the manual, as well as the following ESD information.

Notice : Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage any semiconductor components in this instrument.

When performing any service that requires internal access to the instrument, observe the following precautions to avoid affecting internal modules and their components due to electrostatic discharge

1. Minimize handling of static-sensitive circuit boards and components.
2. Transport and store static-sensitive modules in their static-protective containers or on metal rails. Label any packages that contain electrostatic sensitive boards.
3. When handling these modules, discharge static voltage from your body by wearing a grounded antistatic wrist strap.
4. Servicing static-sensitive modules only at a static-free workstation.
5. Keep away anything that can create or maintain a static charge on workstation surfaces.
6. Handle the board by the edges as much as possible.
7. Do not slide the circuit board on any surface.
8. Avoid handling circuit boards in areas where floor or work surface coverings can generate static charges

Check and clean
Inspection and Cleaning Describe how to inspect for dirt and damage. It also describes how to clean the exterior or interior of the instrument. Inspection and cleaning are performed as preventive maintenance. Regular preventive maintenance can prevent instrument failure and increase its reliability. Preventive maintenance includes visual inspection and cleaning of the instrument, and maintaining general care while operating the instrument. The frequency with which maintenance is performed depends on the severity of the environment in which the instrument is used. The proper time to perform preventive maintenance is before instrument tuning.

External cleaning
Clean the exterior of the case with a dry, lint-free cloth or a soft-bristled brush. If any dirt remains, use a cloth or cotton swab dampened with a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution. Use a cotton swab to clean up the space around the controls and connectors. Do not use abrasives on any part of the case that could damage the case. Clean the On/Standby switch with a clean towel dampened with deionized water. Do not spray or wet the switch itself.

Notice: Avoid using chemical cleaners, which may damage the plastics used in this instrument. Use only deionized water when cleaning the front panel buttons. Use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution as a cleaner for cabinet parts. Please consult your Uni-Tech service center or representative before using other types of cleaners.

Check – Appearance. Inspect the exterior of the instrument for damage, wear, and missing parts. Immediately repair defects that could result in personal injury or further use of the instrument
