5. Opsætning
5.1 Strømtilslutning
- Sørg for, at oscilloskopets tænd/sluk-knap er i OFF-positionen.
- Connect the provided power cord to the power input socket on the side of the oscilloscope.
- Plug the other end of the power cord into a grounded AC power outlet (100V-240V AC, 50/60Hz).
5.2 Probetilslutning
- Connect the BNC connector of the oscilloscope probe to the CH1 or CH2 input connector on the front panel.
- Ensure the probe is securely twisted into place.
- Fastgør probens jordklemme til et kendt jordpunkt i dit kredsløb.
- Set the probe attenuation switch (usually on the probe itself) to the desired setting (e.g., 1X or 10X). Remember to match this setting in the oscilloscope's channel menu for accurate readings.
