the turn-on voltage (Uf) of the emitter junction.Darlington transistors can
be identified by high threshold voltage and high current amplification factor
（3）The parameters Iceo, Ices and Uf of the measuring triode will only be
displayed when the measurement is valid
（4）The diode's equivalent capacitance C and reverse leakage current Ir are
displayed only when the measurement is valid
（5）The turn-on or turn-off voltage of the FET should be less than 5V.Other
wise, the measured results are only its equivalent parameters (diodes,
capacitors, etc.)
PAGE ��
（6）The turn-on voltage of the thyristor should be less than 5V.In addition, the
trigger current for maintaining conduction must be less than 6mA,other
wise it cannot be measured correctly
（7）The vLoss displayed when measuring the capacitance means loss and
attenuation. The larger the value, the worse the capacitance performance,
and the closer it is to scrap. For capacitors below 20pF, the common
method is to test a 20pF capacitor in parallel
（8）When the measurement range of the inductance is 10μH-1000uH, the
inductance measurement should be performed when the resistance is less
than 2.1kΩ.Air core coils and power inductors cannot directly measure
inductance.It is recommended to connect a suitable color ring inductance
test in series

�、FIRMWARE UPGRADE
The instrument uses a USB analog U disk for firmware upgrade.The
simulated U disk cannot be used to save or transfer other data.For firmware
upgrade and charging only
Firmware comes in a variety of file formats.Different operating steps need to
be selected according to the situation
The computer system required for the upgrade is Windows 10 or above

（1）CH UPGRADE (Digital Oscilloscope)

a. Use the Type-C data cable with D+ and D- to connect the instrument and
the computer in the off state
b. Wait for about 2s after booting.Observe whether there is a U disk named
"CH BOOT" on the computer.If it does not exist, repeat steps A and B
c. Copy the firmware file starting with CH into the U disk.After the upgrade
is complete, you will see an upgrade prompt at the bottom of the screen:
Update complated
NOTE：1.The firmware starting with the prefix "CHD" is the firmware of the DSO
oscilloscope part.The firmware starting with the prefix "CHT" is the firmware of
the TC2 transistor part
2.Only one firmware can be upgraded each time. If you need to upgrade
multiple firmwares, you need to repeat steps A, B, and C.
PAGE ��
（2）MM UPGRADE (Transistor Detector)
a. Use the Type-C data cable with D+ and D- to connect the meter and the
computer in the off state
b. Press and hold the down arrow key, turn it on, wait for about 2s, and
observe whether there is a U disk named "MM BOOT" on the computer
(at the same time, the lower left corner of the screen displays: MM Boot),
if not, repeat steps A and B
c. Copy the firmware file starting with MM into the U disk to complete the
upgrade
NOTE: After the upgrade is complete, the system will automatically restart.If you
do not need to upgrade, you can short press the power button to reset the
system or long press the power button to shut down

�、COMMON PROBLEM

1: How to judge whether the battery is fully charged?

A：When the battery is fully charged, the charging indicator will change from red
to green

2: Why does the tested waveform keep shaking left and

right and cannot be fixed?
A：The trigger voltage needs to be adjusted, that is, the yellow arrow on the
right.In trigger mode, press the up and down keys to adjust the trigger voltage.
After adjusting the yellow pointer between the upper and lower part of the
waveform, the waveform can be triggered and fixed

3: Why is there no waveform when measuring a battery

or other DC voltage?
A: The battery voltage signal is a stable DC signal, and there is no curve
waveform.When adjusting the vertical sensitivity in DC coupling mode, there
will be an upward or downward offset line waveform.If it is AC coupled, there
is no waveform no matter how you adjust it

PAGE ��
4: Why is the measured mains 220V waveform not a
very standard sine wave, with distortion?
A: The mains power grid is generally polluted and contains more high-order
harmonic components.The superposition of these harmonics on the sine
wave will show a distorted sine, which is a normal phenomenon.
Generally,the mains waveform is distorted and has nothing to do with the
oscilloscope itself

5: Why is there no signal input,The baseline (OV) on the

screen and the arrow on the left (OV indicated) are not
the same, there is a relatively large offset?
A: Please unplug the probe and USB cable.Press【AUTO】button to enter the
calibration confirmation interface,Then click the【OK】button to enter the
automatic calibration

6: Why do the results obtained by measuring MOSFET

and IGBT are diodes, capacitors and other parameters?
A: Because the turn-on or turn-off voltage of the MOSFET or IGBT is greater
than 5V (the maximum supply voltage of the chip)As a result, the MOSFET
or IGBT cannot be turned on or off normally.Therefore, only its equivalent
parameters can be measured

PAGE ��
 ��、NOTE
1. After receiving the device, please use it after it is fully charged
2. When measuring high voltage, it is forbidden to touch any metal part of the
oscilloscope to avoid the risk of electric shock
3. It is forbidden to use it while charging the device
4. Do not place the machine in a place that is unstable or may be subject to
strong vibrations
5. Do not place the machine in places with high humidity, dust, direct sunlight,
outdoors or near heat sources
6. USB firmware upgrade only supports WIN10 and above.Drag in files other
than release firmware is prohibited.May cause irreversible consequences
7. The instrument is powered by a built-in 3.7V rechargeable lithium battery,
which can be used for a long time.Please use the power adapter to extend
battery life
8.When not in use for a long time, the battery should be discharged to 3.7V
before storage
9.When using the oscilloscope mode, pay attention to the selection of the gear.
The gear of the oscilloscope should be consistent with the gear of the probe.
10.When calibrating,The BNC probe needs to be unplugged, or the positive and
negative poles of the probe are short-circuited
