1.4 General Check

Please check the instrument as following steps after receiving an oscilloscope:

Check the shipping container for damage:

Keep the damaged shipping container or cushioning material until the contents of the
shipment have been checked for completeness and the instrument has been checked
mechanically and electrically.

Check the accessories:

Accessories supplied with the instrument are listed in "Accessories" in this guide. If the
contents are incomplete or damaged, please notify the franchiser.

Check the instrument:

In case there is any mechanical damage or defect, or the instrument does not operate
properly or fails performance tests, please notify the franchiser.

1.5 Probe Compensation

Perform this function to match the characteristics of the probe and the channel input.
This should be performed whenever attaching a probe to any input channel at the first
time.

‹ From the “Probe” menu, select attenuation to 1:10. Set the switch to “X10” on the
probe and connect it to CH1 of the oscilloscope. When using the probe hook-tip, insert
the tip onto the probe firmly to ensure a proper connection.

‹ Attach the probe tip to the Probe Compensator and the reference lead to the
ground connector, select CH1, and then press the “AUTOSET” button into the menu or
the toolbar.

‹ Check the shape of the displayed waveform.

USER’S MANUAL 13

Correctly Compensated

Over compensated

Under Compensated
‹ If necessary, use a non-metallic tool to adjust the trimmer capacitor of the probe
for the fattest square wave being displayed on the oscilloscope.

‹ Repeat if necessary.

WARNNING: To avoid electric shock while using the probe, be sure the perfection of the
insulated cable, and do not touch the metallic portions of the probe head while it is
connected with a voltage source.

USER’S MANUAL 14
 Hantek 6052BE/6082BE

1.6 Self Calibration

The self calibration routine lets you optimize the oscilloscope signal path for maximum
measurement accuracy. You can run the routine at any time but you should always run
the routine if the ambient temperature changes by 5v or more. For accurate calibration,
power on the oscilloscope and wait twenty minutes to ensure it is warmed up. To
compensate the signal path, disconnect any probes or cables from the input connectors.
Then, access the “Utility -> Calibration” option and follow the directions on the screen.
The self calibration routine takes about several minutes.

1.7 Function Check

Perform this functional check to verify that your oscilloscope is operating correctly.

‹ Connect the oscilloscope

You should connect the A-Type Plug of USB cable to your PC USB port and connect the
B-Type Plug of USB cable to oscilloscope USB port.

‹ Input a signal to a channel of the oscilloscope

The oscilloscope is equipped with two channels plus external trigger.

Please input signal in the following steps:

1. Set the attenuation switch on the probe as 10X and connect the probe on the
oscilloscope with CH1. Aim the slot in the probe connector at the faucet on BNC of CH1
and insert, then, turn right to lock the probe. Finally, attach the tip of probe and ground nip
to the Connector of Probe compensator.

USER’S MANUAL 15
 Hantek 6052BE/6082BE

2. Set the CH1 probe attenuation of the oscilloscope to X10. (The default is X1).

3. Attach the tip of probe and ground nip to the Connector of Probe compensator. Click

the button. A square wave will be displayed within a several seconds.

Click “Trigger” in main menu:

The trigger determines when the oscilloscope starts to acquire data and display a
waveform. When a trigger is set up properly, it can convert unstable displays or blank
screens into meaningful waveforms.
If the oscilloscope wants to acquire a waveform, it collects enough data so that it can draw
the waveform to the left of the trigger point. The oscilloscope continues to acquire data
while waiting for the trigger condition to occur. The oscilloscope continues to acquire
enough data so that it can draw the waveform to the right of the trigger point after it
detects a trigger.
The Edge trigger determines whether the scope finds the trigger point on the rising or the
falling edge of the signal. Select Edge trigger mode to trigger on Rising edge or Falling
edge.

Mode: Select the trigger mode.

Sweep: Set the sweep mode to Auto, Normal or Single.

Auto: Acquire waveform even no trigger occurred
Normal: Acquire waveform when trigger occurred.
Single: Acquire waveform when trigger occurred then stop.

3.11 Acquisition Modes

Acquisition

When you acquire a signal, the oscilloscope converts it into a digital form and displays a
waveform. The acquisition mode defines how the signal is digitized and the time base
setting affects the time span and level of detail in the acquisition.

There are two acquisition modes: Normal and Average.

Normal: In this acquisition mode, the oscilloscope samples the signal in evenly spaced
intervals to construct waveform.
Average: In this acquisition mode the oscilloscope acquires several waveforms, averages
them, and display the resulting waveform. You can use this mode to reduce random noise.

4.3 Capturing a Single-Shot Signal

To capture a single event, it needs to gather some pre-test knowledge of the signal in
order to set up the trigger level and slope correctly. For example, if the event is derived
from 3.3V COMS logic, a trigger level of 1.2 or higher Volts should work on a rising edge.
Do these steps as follows:
1. Set the probe and the channel attenuations to X 10.
2. Set up the trigger in the Trigger Menu, or in the Trigger Setting window.
(1) Adjust the Trigger Mode to Edge.
(2) Set the Trigger Sweep to Single.
(3) Set the Trigger Source to CH1.
(4) Set the Trigger Slope to “+” which means you select the rising edge.
(5) Adjust the Volts/Div and the time base in a proper range for the signal.
(6) Drag the trigger level sign on the waveform display screen to proper position. It ally
higher a little above the normal level.
(7) Click START button to start capturing. When the trigger conditions are met, data
appears on the display representing the data points that the oscilloscope obtained with
one acquisition.
This function helps to capture the signal occurrence easily, such as the noise with large
amplitude; set the trigger level higher a little above the normal level and press and wait.
When noise occurs, the instrument will record the waveform before and after the trigger.

USER’S MANUAL 76

4.4 The Application of the X-Y Operation

X-Y Plot acts to analyze correlation of data of two channels. Lissajous diagram is
displayed in the screen when you use X-Y Plot, which enables to compare frequencies,
amplitudes and phases of counterpart waveform against the reference waveform. This
makes it possible to compare and analyze frequency, amplitude and phase between input
and output.
Do these steps as follows:
1. Set the probe attenuation to “x10”. Set the switch to “x10” on the probes.
2. Connect the CH1 probe to the input of the circuit, and connect the CH2 probe to the
output of the circuit.

3. Click button.
4. Adjust the vertical scale and offset to display approximately the same amplitude
signals on each channel.
5. Select X-Y format at Horizontal window. The oscilloscope will displays a Lissajous
pattern representing the input and the output characteristics of the circuit.
6. Adjust the scale and offset of the horizontal and vertical to a desirable waveform
display. The following picture shows a typical example.
7. Apply the Ellipse Method to observe the phase difference between the two channels.

Signal in X-Y Format:

USER’S MANUAL 77
 Hantek 6052BE/6082BE

Instruction of the Ellipse Method:

Sinθ = A/B or C/D, where θ = phase shift (in degrees) between the two signals.
From the formula above:
θ = ±arcsine (A/B) or ±arcsine (C/D)
θ must be in the range of (0~π/2) or (3π/2~2π) if the main axis of the ellipse is between I
and III quadrant .If the main axis is at II and IV quadrant, θ must be in the range of (π/2~π)
or (π~3π/2).
