Opsætning
Proper setup is crucial for accurate measurements and safe operation. Follow these general steps:
- Udpakning: Carefully remove the oscilloscope and all accessories from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of shipping damage.
- Placering: Place the oscilloscope on a stable, level surface with adequate ventilation space around it.
- Strømtilslutning: Connect the power cord to the instrument and then to a grounded AC power outlet matching the specified voltage.
- Probeforbindelse: Connect the desired probes to the input channels. Ensure probes are properly compensated before use.
- Første gang tændt: Turn on the oscilloscope and allow it to warm up for a few minutes as per the specific instructions in the full manual.
Betjeningsvejledning
The Tektronix T912 is a 10 MHz storage oscilloscope designed for capturing and displaying waveforms. Basic operation involves:
- Tænd/sluk: Use the main power switch to turn the unit on or off.
- Vertikale kontroller: Adjust the VOLTS/DIV knob for each channel to set the vertical sensitivity. Use the POSITION knob to move the waveform vertically.
- Horisontale kontroller: Adjust the SEC/DIV knob to set the time base. Use the POSITION knob to move the waveform horizontally.
- Udløser: Set the TRIGGER LEVEL and SOURCE to stabilize the waveform display. The T912, being a storage oscilloscope, allows for capturing single-shot events.
- Opbevaringsfunktion: Utilize the storage controls to capture and hold transient or non-repetitive waveforms on the screen for detailed analysis. Refer to the full manual for specific storage mode operations.
- Focus and Intensity: Adjust these controls for a clear and bright display.
Opretholdelse
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your oscilloscope:
- Rensning: Afbryd strømmen før rengøring. Brug en blød, tør klud.amp cloth with a mild detergent to clean the exterior. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Opbevaring: When not in use, store the oscilloscope in a clean, dry environment, protected from dust and extreme temperatures.
- Kalibrering: Periodically, the oscilloscope may require calibration to maintain accuracy. Refer to the detailed calibration procedures in the complete service manual or contact qualified service personnel.
- Probepleje: Inspect probes regularly for damage. Keep probe tips clean.
Fejlfinding
If you encounter issues with your Tektronix T912, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Ingen visning:
- Kontroller strømtilslutningen og sikringen.
- Ensure intensity and focus controls are not set to minimum.
- Verify that the oscilloscope is powered on.
- Ustabil bølgeform:
- Adjust the trigger level and source settings.
- Check probe connections and compensation.
- Ensure the input signal is within the oscilloscope's measurement range.
- Intet signal vist:
- Verify the input signal is present at the probe tip.
- Check channel selection and vertical position.
- Ensure the probe is correctly connected to the circuit under test.
- Forvrænget bølgeform:
- Check probe compensation.
- Ensure the signal amplitude does not exceed the vertical range.
- Verify the signal frequency is within the oscilloscope's bandwidth.
